Been over a year since I took a long haul flight. Well..it is one of the most dreaded part of the journey. Those more than 12 hours of lonesomeness spent with another complete stranger that you could only share the simplest conversations of "Hi!", "Can I pass?", or slightly more complicated "Where are you heading?" or the even more complex "Hey! Stop pushing the seat!" can prove to heighten one's stress level.. on top of the terrible lack of sleep.
Seriously, I don't think there are many lucky ones out there who get to travel first class, so it's the Economy Class for most of us. Pray tell.. how did you manage to sleep on a seat with absolutely no head support. And whenever you doze off a little, your head does the repeated nodding action till you finally wake yourself up with a jerk?
Hm.. frankly, does tilting the seat all the way.. that is only 45 degrees maximum.. help to make our seating any more comfortable? I am definitely one who hates those that decide to recline their seat towards my direction. You will see me swear under my breath each time the 100kg mister in front of me leans back.
Guess I'm not exactly the friendliest person to share a flight with. And well.. I'm the Aisle seat person. I do not wish to hold my bladder till the fella next to me decides to stir in his sleep and let my pass. No way. I rather be seated at the Aisle and the unfortunate traveller next to me is at my mercy. Read my facial expression: I will let you pass if I choose to. Do not attempt to poke me for any attention!
More long haul flight complaints coming up. Do come back for more or drop a comment if you share my sentiments. Else just sit back, relax and enjoy the flight!
