ok lufty, just work it out before December. t-y

Don't you even care about me? 

a little.  ask them to get you on Swiss.  hear that's pretty elite and they partner with lufty on their point program.

Swiss is the most elite airline i've ever been on. Free alcohol? yes plz.

all the asian and euro carriers have free booze. american carriers are mocked by the global flying community pretty hard.

asian, yes. i've flown on ryan, aer lingus and some other euro carrier and swiss was the only one i received free booze on.

lol, k.  yes, the Southwest airlines of europe probably don't serve free booze    actually, I bet even jet blue air lingus does on transatlantics

Fly business. Booze it up.

Lufthansa  European flight was cancelled.
Not that bad, rerouted on Swiss through Zurich to JFK. I'll report back on the level of service vs. Lufthansa.

Hey guys, just doing a little SFO->ICN->SIN jaunt in a couple weeks, and wanted thoughts on aisle vs. window. Go with the easy access to bathrooms, or undisturbed sleep? Will I look like a rube if I bring a neck pillow? Any other long haul flight recommendos?

thanks, guys.

I prefer long haul window in coach so nobody fucks with me.  will not look like a rube if you have a neck pillow imo.  forgot about your elite SIN trip.  SO JELLY.

god damn, singapore air is one of the most elite carriers. do you get to sit biz class?  would you mind taking a shitload of pictures of everything including the food, entertainment system, etc? (I think we already went through this when I was PAKout drunk)

drink early, then maintain.

I have a tiny bladder and I'm scared of dehydration. Quite the pickle.

[slobber]

If you are a sleeper, take the window and drink a few early and sleep. If you aren't going to sleep, take the isle and drink and watch movies and play games and stuff.

Bring some sleeping pills. Flying back and forth to Africa has been a bitch, 8 hours to Paris, 8 hours to Africa/America, layovers inbetween. Even when taking a sleeping pill on the flights I only get 1 or 2 hours of sleep, except the times I've been upgraded to business class.

I'm scared of dehydration.

always double order.  "red wine and water, please."  don't worry about the bladder, it'll work itself out.  why does steve dave have a snake avatar?

we honeymooned in PDC.    We visited Coba, it was amazing.  Tallest pyramid in Mexico.   Also swam in a cenote (undergound cave).  Good times.
