My problem with flying stems from having really bad seatmates -- the kind that read over your arm, nudge and kick you endlessly, and take eons to mess around with their luggage. And I'd sit and grit my teeth in silence.

The solution is shockingly simple: about a year ago, I accidentally wore my sunglasses the entire time we were on the plane, and I noticed my seatmate was courteous, but left me alone. One more flight confirmed it: no more eye contact means my bad neighbors leave me alone unless absolutely necessary. I can finally fly in peace.
