A few other tips:

1) Try the daytime flight to London.  (I don't believe one can get daytime 
flights to any other European city.)  Leave JFK ~10am, arrive LHR ~9:45pm,
have supper and sack out, if at all possible. Fell remarkably fresh
when you wake up at 10-11 am.  [Fell -> Feel]

2) Don't take a flight leaving earlier than 10pm from JFK (or other east coast
airport).  We once left JFK ~6pm for Prestwick, Scotland and arrived at 5am
local time (= 11pm EST) not having slept at all and finding the airport so
dead we couldn't get food, find public transport running, etc.

3) On late flights from North America, off season, I have a glss of juice,
grab two pillows and a blanket, stretch out across 3 or 4 seats (I said
'off season'), put the blanket over my head, and sleep 5+ hours.  I really
works!

4)  On flights to Israel, don't fly El Al.  Not only is their service poor,
but their flights are always jammed.  E.g., TWA has (or used to have) a 10pm
Saturday non-stop, same as El Al.  "Everyone" takes the El Al flight, often 
resulting in empty seats on TWA.  This allows one to follow #3 above, but
sleep for >=6 hours!
