Hey Danny
Before you know it, you'll be landing and home!
Take the time to reflect and plan, which is probably what you do anyway.
Blessings,
DM

For a US domestic flight, this is downright opulent

I'm scared of flying so I spend half the flight trying not to fudge my Alan's.

For the other half of the flight, I'm either working, sleeping (or trying to), reading a book or watching a movie. If I'm with Mrs Van D, I spend a fair amount of time cutting off her circulation by gripping her hand too tight.

Put my Bose on and sit back and listen to some tunes while I hopefully fall asleep.

Movies and shows on the computer. Or read (Kobo).

Flights are a great excuse to tune out, as far as I'm concerned. I'm kind of sad that Wi-Fi on planes is becoming such a thing now. I might not have the excuse any longer to ignore work. Bummer.

It can get tedious staying awake on 12+ hour sorties... but when I'm not staring at my GMT in its natural environment I usually BS with my fellow crew-dogs!

Right now I’m on the plane to Montreal... The forecast HIGH today... let me repeat that. The forecast HIGH today is 12 degrees... Tomorrow, the forcast HIGH is 9 degrees. And no, that is not C, it’s F. I have to ask myself... Why?


P.S. I left home this morning it was 74....

Movies or book... If it is business travel, sometimes I'll use the time to prepare for whatever I'm traveling to.

+1 The absolute truth. I can't catch a decent seat, let alone meal on US domestic flights. Maybe it's because my "home" airport is MCO (Orlando) & they cater to families doing the Disney thing. I fly MCO-LAX (5.5 hours) 8-10 times a year & it's hit or miss if you even have a entertainment screen in first class; let alone a good seat.

Cathay Pacific & Singapore Airlines on the other hand...
