1. Ride the overnight. It’s a gamble as to how much sleep you’ll get, but only being awake for half the ride and being tired is better than being bored stiff for 7 hours.
2. Bring the best earplugs you have/can afford.
3. Bring something to cover your eyes.
4. Get a window seat.
5. Bring a sweatshirt.
6. Wedge the sweatshirt between the window and the seat, then wedge your head on top of it.
7. Put the armrest between the seats down, so as to limit the amount of space your (inevitably) enormous companion can take up.
8. Remind yourself as frequently as necessary how much money you’re saving.

Last but not least, have eggs with your pop when you arrive.
