Flying thread

[remember_Cedric]

When you are travelling alone, do you ever try to strike a conversation with the person next to you? I don't think I can stand talking to no one for 10hrs.

I can imagine you're a talkative someone.

I have no problem to shut off for 24hours or more. I still have my autistic self within.

I prefer quiet moments, and possibly do drawing or sketches. If you appear to me as a stranger trying to strike a convo, I'll pretend to be mute and start using sign language

Certainly, if the person is approachable. However I seem to get the kind of seat neighbor who doesn't speak much English, a lot of times.

One of the beauties of solo traveling is the easierization of meeting people. So take advantage of that

I called United, they said at least 2hrs. But they will allow me to get on the next available flight if I approach customer relations. Thanks all for you help.

just sleep. you'll need to adjust to the jet lag anyway . there's no rule saying that you should strike a conversation.

Apparently, if your exchange times are tight, you can approach customer relations to get put on a later flight or an earlier one.

How many United flights are there from NY to LA? 1 every hour?

During long flights, do you make an effort to keep active and stop your legs from clotting up? Apparently you should drink lots of water, and less alcohol, but then they offer free alcohol, whites, reds, burbon; I mean how do you decline free alcohol?

LOL - people drink all the time on the plane. Just make sure to not get drunk and make a scene

Open you shoes while seating, make sure socks fresh LOL, and occasionally go to the loo so that you can walk around, but don't forget to use your shoes

Say "No, thank you" ?

Say "No, thank you" ?

Ah, Yushi rescues yittzie out of this dilemma of a life time with ARTS!
Sheer brilliance.

This thread reminds me of mine =( which won't happened any sooner.

How I wish I'd struck a windfall. =(

Last time I flew home, I took the JFK-Changi direct flight (was it 14 hrs or 18 hrs? I forgot). I got offered for exit seat and I took the offer, so I got a lot of space

I spent the hours as follows : 8 hrs of sleep, eat, watch 2 or 3 movies, walk around (or ask for snack/drink from the snack bar), sleep a bit more, talk a bit with the person next to me and the steward/ess (when asking for snacks)

I'm one of those people that can sleep without problem on the plane. Sometimes, I even fall asleep before take-off & wake up right when the plane is landing (during short flight)

And I don't drink alcohol either. I can't drink. I usually only drink water, coffee or juices, because if I drink sodas, I'll have gas ;D;D
