yep, I have done alot flying from way back - do I like it ? no fecking way, dislike it actually.
Sitting in that monster tin can 35thou k's way up there - aircon, your cold, people farting, people leaving toilets in a fecking mess the bastards - delays/time zone changes/early morn or midnight flights.
Sometimes massive turbulence - I had trained myself to sleep - the best way to not know what bloody happens haha
9/14hr flights I can sleep more than half ! my wife dreads it like mad, she can't sleep and she's scared of everything but no fly no OS hols.
I'd wake up and she'd say couldn't believe how bad it was.
Just came back Sat from weird and wonderfulJapan.
Interesting though - was our first organised tour, fly/coach/bullet train etc......
Got to say we discussed we wouldn't have covered so much interesting ground if we did our usual way.
Tokyo/Hakone/Takayama/Kyoto/Hiroshima/Osaka.
Lush countryside, great food but after a while you can't wait to find a decent burger or Italian now and then.
Did a Sake de gustation exxy meal - yer food yum but the sake I don't get the desire, some flavours ok but its the worst kind of grappa/aqua dent I've experienced.
Each city had its positives and negs.
Enjoyed all but I feel Hiroshima hit a cord due to its history.
Did a tour and Museum, very humbling.
