to LA it's mostly ocean so there isn't much to see, water half way there and then cloud
except sometimes the tropical isles, which look like bright jewels during the day and at night you see the lights of the little villages on the beaches that circle the islands
I admit, flying is a beautiful experience that we are lucky to have .
Not if your plane is delayed for 8 hrs and you hit the booze at the lounge, cop a middle row and 15 people are lining up for the toilet as soon as the seatbelt light goes off.
or when you’re on a flight to L.A. in the second last row and the row behind you has several people with Tourette’s. So you spend 15 hours copping short loud screams with uncontrollable kicking your seat. It really is a transcendental experience. Just beautiful really.
other than that 😂
I admit that sitting next to sir les patterson's long lost twin brother wasn't great ( I asked to get moved ) or being felt up by a creep or having my stuff stolen or them playing john williams songs on the intercom or the guy in front playing sick pron on his note pad or having the same menu as they have had the past ten years
other than that if I can look out a window at least a little, that part is great
It wasn't so much the view, it was so I could have a white russian and go ni-nighs uninterrupted. I've just submitted bids to upgrade to business.. screw it, let's spend some money lol
Fingers crossed my bids get accepted.. it's an extra $1500 ($750 each way) but it'd still be a lot cheaper than paying for business by several thousands of dollars.
drinking and sleeping is a good plan 👍
