There are two things that I use to make economy flight bearable

- Stand for 30 min, then sit for 30 min or so. You will be surprised by how much better you feel by the end of the flight. I just grab Kindle and read it standing in the isle on domestic or walk to the back of the plane on widebody international flights (usually there is space there).

- Use inflatable pillow like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVR48SW. You will get much better sleep with it

Are you "allowed" to stand in the back? Iirc you're no longer permitted to loiter around the galley area.

Though flight attendants probably don't give a

You can't stand in the front, due to security concerns with being near the cockpit. Back is fair game. More common on international flights, though. Plus international flights they have snacks in the back, so you can stand there and munch.

Great to know (knew about the snacks but was never sure if I was allowed to loiter). Thank you!

Remember, if you loiter politely while in flight, the worst anyone official will do to you is ask you to go back to your seat :) very little downside to trying even if it's "not allowed".
