    Wouldn't mind but the flight back was half empty ( or half full if you are that sort ) and the hostesses started moving people about so everyone would get an empty seat next to them to give people more elbow room ( air transat has shite narrow seats ) ! All good until they came to the guy next to me " I am OK ill stay here " he said WTF ?

    That (for me ) made the flight even more of a drag I could have kicked him ! course I couldn't sleep on the plane so now I feel Horrible and I got work tomorrow just hope I sleep OK tonight

    I don't sleep on planes either. I can't. Theong trip from America I just stayed awake reading a book. My last plane ride I manage to watch all the episodes of Young Sheldon and it ended just when we were landing so that was good.

    The last time I flew from Toronto to Shanghai there was nobody in my row of seats. I sat in the middle with the armrests up like a fucking king. One of the flight attendants said "oh, someone was upgraded to first class". (Will never get that lucky again)

    I feel you though. I'm always in a dream-like state whenever I get off a plane.

    When we lived in Ireland, I used to fly 2 return trips to London every week.
    As you can imagine, I got to know all the staff and frequently ended up on the flight deck.
    On one crossing their were cross winds at Cork and ATC diverted the flight into Shannon which would have left me with a 3 hour bus trip. That day we had a woman pilot and she just casually said "don't bother with all that, I will check the winds myself". We landed at Cork without any problems, much to the surprise of the airport who had sent all the staff home. As the passengers disembarked, they were all chanting "we have a woman driver". It was hilarious.
    On my next flight, I inquired who this strange woman was and discovered that she was the airlines chief pilot. I think that the reason that no one ever questioned her was that she had previously worked for 10 years as a military training pilot. Her job was based on HMS Ark Royal, where she trained and assessed RN pilots on landing Harrier jets in force 7 gale conditions onto the decks of aircraft carriers in the mid Atlantic.
    No doubt that was the reason that she refused to use the autopilot when she was flying as captain. She called it the useless idiots gadget.

    My little brother was bitching to me about being jet lagged from his San Francisco to Miami flight (3 time zones away). And I told him he had no idea what real jet lag was, since I had a red eye flight from Frankfurt Germany to Seattle, along with a canceled flight beforehand.
