Actually, I think I hate flying.

Nytol is a miracle drug.

 

Often had issues sleeping but never put much thought into trying them.

 

Tried one last night, within 15 minutes had some weird relaxed sensation and slept like a log for 10 hours, woke up feeling fresher than ever.

 

Won't use them regularly but it was amazing 🤣

Funnily enough, being at the King Power is a place I have no trouble sleeping.

And luggage retrieval.

And baggage handlers.

And security checks.

And the look you get when you ask four four mini bottles of gin for the second time.

Tbf, 8 mini bottles is a lot

If you are 12, possibly.

Long haul flights are absolutely awful. Snakes or no snakes. 
 

The whole airport experience is pretty grim, then the bunfight to get on and sit there in the knowledge that you’ll soon be hurtling along a runway at x miles an hour and trusting that your big, heavy, cumbersome plane manages to take flight and somehow stay there. 
 

And the mind numbing, endless  hours of only thinking about all the air between you and the ground. 
 

Hate, hate, hate it with a passion. 

 

And can’t even enjoy the last couple of days of holiday due to thinking about the return flight. 
 

Managed to avoid it for years, but just booked two trips to the states for 2023 😕😕

Couldn't agree more. I've now found drugs (prescription, I'm not buying crack off the street) has significantly helped. 

 

Definitely agree with Daggers too. Other passengers are the most irritating thing about airports and flying. 

 

Why do passengers pass by 12 signs about security preparation and still have a 1tr bottle of shampoo, a lap top in their bag and a belt on at the front of the queue! 

A chap behind me once at EMA was livid he couldn't take his 4 large cans of lager through

I'm currently in Manchester Airport, awaiting a delayed flight, and this thread has made me laugh a lot. 

 

I'll report back on the snake scenario later. 

[Dahnsouff]

No longer fly, like the lack of hassle

[Unabomber]

On the subject of travel, I really like the Eurostar. Very hassle free and reasonable pricing.

Can't fault you for drinking them rather than having them confiscated

That's my other irrational fear. 

 

I hate flying. I've done it hundreds of times, but not for about 15 years 

 

So not very comfortable. 

 

Plus when you flush an aeroplane toilet, it sounds like you've made the plane crash!

I've never flown before. What's wrong with wearing a belt? 

[SemperEadem]

‘Bolton are massive everywhere they go’ latest rent-a-chant doing the rounds. Makes zero sense.

When you pass through the security scanners you have to remove belts, the metal activates the sensors. No phones, coins etc in pockets for the scan.

All thin, tall and pointy looking dogs hate me. Whenever I see a greyhound or a whippet and I try giving it fuss, it always just pretends that I don't exist and walks away.

From the NHS website:

 

sleep on your side – try taping or stitching a tennis ball to the back of your sleepwear, or buy a special pillow or bed wedge to help keep you on your side.

 

Mrs P snores heavily and as a joke I said I would do this. I never thought it was an actual thing.

I've never understood this advice. Why? Mrs. FFF can/does snore even when lying on her left or right side too.

In fact, if you've ever passed by our house after, say, 11pm you've probably heard her!

Same, but the majority of the heavy snoring occurs when she's sleeping on her back. I use ear plugs but I've yet to find any that are both comfortable and effective.
