How do I download full resolution photos on my iphone (8+) to use offline?

I

iMore Question

I used to keep all of my photos (literally 40K or so) on my iPhone. I did eventually fall into the iCloud trap, and have still not figured out a way to assure that a healthy number of my full resolution photos will be available to me when I am on a plane: the one time I know I'll have 5 hours with nothing to do but edit photos from the last 10 years. I know that "recent" full resolution photos are stored on the phone, but going back to what date? And how does that help if I choose a picture from 2014 to edit? Thoughts about how to edit while in "airplane mode?"
Thank you.

Welcome to iMore! I don't use iCloud Photo Library, and not sure what your options would be. Hopefully someone will come along who knows. I keep most of my photos in Box and Dropbox.
