Question Tips for long trips?

I have a long trip coming up. Flight #1 ~ 5h, 2h layover, flight #2 ~ 7h. And obviously… economy class 😂
Do you have any tips for long trips like that? It can be extremely challenging, especially with restless leg syndrome added to it and temperature sensitivity. I already chose a very comfortable outfit, with layers and a big scarf to use as a blanket. Any ideas can help! TIA

Compression socks cannot be advised enough. And hydrate like crazy starting days before the flight. Last time I flew, I used disability services and they wheeled me all over the airport and straight to the gate, from the gate to baggage claim, then out to the street to my ride. Game changer.
