Long-Haul Flying

Too many to count. I had a passenger call me over to tell me to tell the person in front of him to put her seat up. I pointed out that his seat was back too. Another time an older woman threatened to punch a young girl if she didn't put her seat up. #TravelSkills https://t.co/Hqrj2Rr7cr

A4 On long haul #flights, reclining is OK to do, respectfully. since it makes sense that passengers will want to snooze. This @CateyHill story includes my take on recent experiments w/US carriers eliminating the recline on shorter flights: https://t.co/vpHgElgvhO #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A3: YVR-HKG a few times, that one's a long one at 13hrs and change. Or does the YVR-NRT flight I took in 2009 count, where we had to sit on the tarmac for an additional 4 hours upon arriving to get screened for h1n1 before deplaning? #travelskills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis Alright, you got me in. #TravelSkills - lotions, potions (but not too many), good headphones, room to walk around and stretch a bit, and at least one person to get up and go talk to.

replying to @united @united A7 I like any airport lounge that offers fantastic runway views #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A7 The Star Alliance Lounge at the TBIT at LAX is probably the best lounger overall in the US. The United Polaris Lounge at SFO is excellent too. Truth be told most airline lounges in the US aren’t all that special. #TravelSkills

A7 We may be biased, but the United Polaris Lounges at ORD, SFO, EWR, LAX and IAH are amazing. #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole @Heather_Poole Whoa! I imagine reclining seats has to be the number one reason for fights in the air. #TravelSkills

WTH. First class is cheaper than coach! Must be a mistake. #TravelSkills https://t.co/rjQR9pRDvK

A nice lounge is a great thing, for sure. If you're at LaGuardia, check out the new Maple Leaf Air Canada Lounge. A7 #travelskills #AirCanada @AirCanada @ACJamieFox

replying to @united @united A7 I’m not a big user of airport lounge showers and I don’t get why they’re so important to so many flyers #TravelSkills What do you think @OneMileataTime @tebfunk ?

replying to @JohnnyJet @JohnnyJet @lufthansa ‘s hot towel service really makes a difference. The usual pillow and blanket. I really like the headrests on @British_Airways and special food like the goose served close to Christmas on @lufthansa !! #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole @Heather_Poole About 10 years ago, CVG to DEN, a fight almost broke out in FC over the guy reclining. The man behind him was upset he couldn't work on his laptop. @JohnnyJet #TravelSkills

A6 The best amenity to make a long flight easier? #Food! On my way home to LA in March, @united's #Polaris cabin had a steady flow of food & drinks & desserts during the @DublinAirport-to-EWR leg. almost to the point I wished the flight was longer than 7 hours! #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @united @OneMileataTime @tebfunk Love lounges that have showers. They’re a sanity saver especially when you’re coming off a long flight or if you have a flight out of a hot and humid climate. #TravelSkills
