How to sleep well on a plane

-- Choose your seat wisely

Your seat location could be one of the most important factors in how well -- or how poorly -- you sleep on a plane. Try to get a window seat if possible; it will give you something to lean against and get you out of the way of other folks in your row, who won't have to scramble over you each time they need to use the bathroom. You'll also have some control over the window shade.

Think twice about bulkhead or exit row seats. Sure, the extra legroom is great, but some exit row seats do not recline (so that they won't be an obstruction in case of emergency), and some bulkhead seats have armrests that can't be raised.

To prevent identity theft while travelling, keep your cell phone secure

Some things you can do to protect yourself:

- Set a password on the phone so someone who finds or steals it can't use it
- Before traveling, consider deleting any especially sensitive apps, such as banking apps, social networks, etc. They are easy to reinstall when you get home
- Specifically log out of all apps before going out and about. As above with some websites, many apps keep you logged in by default (Facebook, Twitter, Angry Birds, you name it)
- Remain wary of suspicious emails and websites. Studies indicate folks are much more likely to click on malware links on their cell phone than on their computer
- All of the foregoing cautions about public Wi-Fi spots go for your cell phone as well
