Aircraft seats are made small to allow airlines to fit more passengers on any given flight, are poorly cushioned to reduce aircraft weight, and legroom is kept to a minimum to accommodate more passengers, experts say.

However, fortunately, there are ways to avoid discomfort on the plane and enjoy a smoother journey.

Jessica Davies of Seat to Sleep, a company dedicated to improving the comfort of children on airplanes, shared her tips and tricks for creating comfort on an airplane.

Consider a travel nest for your child

If your kids don't like flying, and they're not alone, you have the opportunity to improve your child's travel experience.

Consider purchasing an inflatable lightweight pillow for your baby to rest on. It adapts to adult aircraft seats creating a comfortable seat for children - supporting their head and neck.

It can be used throughout the entire flight or just during takeoff and landing, making this pillow the perfect choice.

Don't cross your legs

Crossing your legs reduces blood flow, making you feel less comfortable and tense. Be sure to move as much as possible.

Use a massage ball

A massage ball may seem like something out of the ordinary for flying, but it can really work wonders, especially on long journeys.

Your muscles tense during the flight, and if you put massage balls behind your back while sitting, which you can simply put behind your back when sitting, they will relax them.

Bring a travel blanket

A travel blanket can be used in a variety of ways. Most obviously, of course, it will help keep you warm, as airplanes are notoriously cold. However, it is possible to roll up travel blankets and use them as cushioning pads or even pillows.

Take a window seat
