Smoking flight?
DVT clinical test
I just did BOS-CDG-BOS in five days. I shouldn’t complain, I’ve done nonstop JFK-JNB without a problem.
But the new coach seats on Air France were unacceptable, even for a 7 hour flight, never mind 20+.
I can only imagine what the airplane toilets will look like after 20 hours.
You better believe I am booking business/first. Even going to Hawaii (from Dallas) was exhausting.
Thank God I have more than 1/2 million miles to use on a 3 million mile lifetime (Platinum for life).
Well, if over ocean, why not just bottom discharge,
railroads do it on tracks...
Where? India? Mexico? Not in the USA.

Please do not flush the toilet whilst the train is at a station
No thanks
I don’t need DVT
Exactly
“Human Guinea Pigs About to Embark on World’s First 20-Hour Airline Flight”
I can think of a lot of uses for sort-of-human democrat guinea pigs.
Really? Battlestaff crews on the old SAC Airborne systems used to do regular 20+ hour flights for exercise missions. There were no comfortable seats or beds. Were there ill effects? You bet. Tinnitus, damaged nerves in the upper legs, later arthritis problems. Did it affect everyone? No, some had problems others did not. It has been looked at before.
We did San Francisco to Singapore 2 years ago and that was 18 hours!! It did seem like 18 DAYS.....but nice and smooth! Plus seeing Singapore is worth it!
13 from Beijing to Pittsburgh ... sleeping pills.

I was thinking the same thing—not to mention the 3-4 aerial refuelings from the tanker to keep it gassed up. (My longest was 15-16 hours in duration with U.S. STRATCOM using some of the newer, yet still old former SAC airborne systems).
I did that 2 weeks ago. It’s not 18 hours. More like 15.
13 from JFK to Narita . . . 1/C w/Dom Perignon
