The old lady sitting next to me called me out for snoring on a flight home from Orlando a couple months ago. I just shrugged and she told me she was jealous that I could sleep like that on a plane.
My favorite plane sleep of recent memory happened on a transcon redeye where I got loaded in the airport before departure, promptly nodded off during taxi (I'm sure I was half awake for the takeoff) and didn't wake up until the final approach announcement over the PA. I've noticed it's actually way easier for me to pass out in the rear of the plane than if I'm up in first or even a premium/+ economy situation where there's steady service to interrupt/tempt me.
Always sleep on planes and I fly a shitload. It's not like a great sleep, but definitely catch some Zs. Used to always get a window seat so I could lean my head against it. Now most airlines have those adjustable headrest things that can keep your head upright. Trick is to get a row to yourself so you can lay down and then deny entry to those that ask.
i will sleep some, booze and maybe a muscle relaxer will do the heavy lifting also yes, and yes, but athletic shorts lmbo
I will be in 1st Class on Sunday. Possibly wearing flip flops. Looking forward to my fellow patrons scoffing at me
I'm not 80. Actually I'll most likely wear shoes and pack my flip flops in efforts to not have anything besides my checked luggage
Don't wear flip-flops, especially as a guy, no one wants to see your feet on a plane. I about gag when I see people walking through security with flip-flops. Yes yes, LOL GET TSA PRE-CHECK HURR DURR
i always pop an edible when i get to the airport. it makes flying delightful. also makes airport beers fun too
i'm definitely prepared to be judged, but on my return flights i always wear these bc they're super comfy and in the event a terrorist takes over the plane, i've got ninja shoes on that will allow me to sneak up on him/her w/o them noticing. https://kytin.com/products/mensparasole
I used to have to fly to China and my trick was to not sleep at all. Have some cocktails and a shit load of caffeine, land at like 5pm and go straight to the hotel. You guys who can sleep on a plane are lucky. Never been able to.
I’m like 6 pages back, but am I allowed to talk flights? Well I had a fun experience a few hours ago flying in Delta from Detroit to GSO (Greensboro, NC) where we had a touch and go on the landing. Hard landing on the rear tires, bounced and then the pilot hit the thrust hard and climbed. 15 minutes later the landing was was obviously ok.
Shit doesn't get real until you're half way down the run way and the pilot stands on the breaks throwing everyone into the seat in front of them and any loose object multiple rows ahead. People on the plane start praying.... Had this happen in South Africa. Fucking wild. Apparently something failed right before take off that would have made it difficult to land properly. Wad fun getting back on that same plane after they fixed it
A few months back I had a pilot flying into La Guardia pull up right before touching down. Ended up having to circle the city and get back in line. Feel like whenever something weird happens the captain will explain over the intercom but he never said anything and didn't open the cabin door while everyone was exiting like they normally do. Think he screwed up.
They never made an announcement and the pilot was up at the front with with the door open like everything was normal and nothing happened.
Southwest has decided I need to spend all Saturday morning in an airport in my own city. Am through security and my 906 has already turned into a 1138.
A new plane has been found, Southwest redeemed itself. We are back to original depart time. Thank you for following along on my riveting saga.
you’re a fucking idiot!!!!!! i spend my nights on planes and Southwest has NEVER given out fried rice
i once was stuck in the middle seat of a flight from vegas to portland while i was half drunk and coming down from molly. butthead does not recommend this experience i'm 6'1 and that's roughly at the edge of economy seat sizes. i don't understand how taller people make it work
Yea whoever spilled that much rice and was just like fuck it is a dick. Also holding up the rest of the plane for an hour was a bit much.
