Remember that the brace position is completely useless, it's really just there to preserve your teeth so they can identify your body with dental records

Pay attention to the rules around what you're allowed to carry in checked and carry-on luggage - especially around liquids.
Comfortable clothes are a must.

I dunno, in that movie "Alive" didn't the back of the plane break off and they all got flung out?
Maybe it's better to sit over the wings in the middle.
....... although isn't that where all the fuel is stored?

Last flight i went on the pilot was Chinese....his name was, Sum Ting Wong!
I do hope you're flying business class.
Showering is good; don't bother changing clothes beyond underwear. Indeed, you might just trigger security if you do.

I don't use laptops on flight in economy because the angle is bad due to the lack of space. Also, be careful of the sudden recline of the person in front of you, you might end up with a broken laptop when the screen get caught between the latch and the table and the screen gets trapped and crushed.
Things I do
1 - Pick an aisle seat. Window seats are for short haul.
2 - Get up often for a walk to improve circulation
3 - Drink plenty of water, the humidity in a flight is less than 10%
4 - Noise cancelling headphones
5 - Get your favourite shows downloaded, don't rely on in flight movies
6 - Pick a seat as far to the front of the aircraft as you can. The back of the plane is most susceptible to turbulence. Plus you also get served food earlier and also get off the plane earlier.
7 - Keep your seatbelt on when you are in your seat...

Also try not to watch other people around the cabin, you'll become to hate them and their moronic ways 
To remind us how safe aviation is
10 hours for your first flight is a bit savage I cant lie.
Errrr, go to doctor, you have anxiety for flying, get prescribed valium, fly higher than the plane you are on.
Genuinely though, stay calm, it'll be alright! Like others have said, hydrate, walk about, stretch, catch on some sleep and ensure you got something to keep you entertained.

Flying's great. Fast food before at the airport. Chill out with a beer. Get a couple wines on the plane. Watch the movies, look out the window, have a nap. Then you're there.
If long haul then you probably get free drinks on the plane.
