SKI 15 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I just chill out and enjoy the time to think. Thats if I get legroom. If I don't get my favorite seat, then its less comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I'm on my long haul flight in a few days. See you late August! Link to post Share on other sites
egglesby 1 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I am determined to lie back, chill out and at least try to enjoy it as much as possible. But flying for me is a big hassle and I just don't like it. I'm always very glad to get off the plane safe. Link to post Share on other sites
cakehead 0 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 If you're planning to go to the UK and need Heathrow, might be a good idea to take a bookshelf (including the rakced up books). Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
justaddwater 0 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I usually drink some before and in the first few hours of the flight - it sends me to sleep. I might feel awful when I get off the plane but at least I don't have to just site there for 8 hours getting frustrated! Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I am so excited about trip coming soon, I don't want to complain about the long flight but try enjoy it. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I will try to do just that later on this morning akibun. Ganbarimasu! Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hihi - found this thread. Not long to go before lots of us having to put up with the econclass torture. Anyone find any good ways to use time since last time? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Take a laptop and play civilization, that kills 12 hours... Something I didn't do on my last flight home. I swear the seats are getting smaller! The personal tv/video games aren't bad, played patience for about six hours on the last flight home. tryed to 'fly right' the past few years, lots of water and juice, no alcohol... Bugger that, back to the bottles of wine last flight, much better! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 How do I get my laptop to work for 12 hours? Mine lasts 4 at most. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 You're absolutely right. Three batteries??? I've yet to try it (on a plane, that is), as I induce scorn from my partner if I get my laptop out in public... she condemns the practice as pretentious. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Aha. Anyone who is flying in business class or higher is of course banned from this thread as your comments are of no value here. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I go to the movies! This is when I get to see nearly every movie that I see in my movie-less life. One after the other staring at my little pop-out screen. I like long flights as there is nothing to bother me and no one can ask anything of me. It is as though the world is on hold. In between movies and during the boring parts of some movies (or all of Lost in Translation) I drift in and out of a dazed sleep. This is bliss and on a good flight can last for 20 hours! No complaints from me! Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Sorry to say it, but due to the expansion of tissue and gases at altitude even in a pressurized cabin, on long-haul flights I spend most of my time farting or waiting for the next fart to work its way down. Severe in-flight flatulence...I can't be the only one. What about the rest of you? Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Me too. Its a drag, especially if the aroma is strong. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Definitely. Fart city, its a wonder planes dont smell worse than they do. The crappy food must have something to do with it as well. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 you just get used to the smell in a plane. I think if you walked on a flight that had just arrived when the doors open you might not like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I have never been good at drinking on long flights like back to the states. Did it once and never felt worse in my life. A flight that is only a few hours with some beers is good fun when youre with your mates though. For long flights I usually take a xanex and a soma and jam with some tunes while my body melts into my rock hard seat Drink lots of water too. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 "xanex and a soma and jam" Explain please!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 xanex is usually given to people who are stressed/high anxiety etc but if taken by us "normal" people you barely notice time pass by which is nice on 12 hour flights yeah? Soma's are muscle relaxers which ease the discomfort of sitting down in such a small and uncomfortable chairs for so long. Theyre also great after a long day's skiing/boarding while soakin in a rotenburo jammin (listenin) to music - do I really need to explain Link to post Share on other sites
