How long can you fly consecutively until you go crazy?

| I'm trying to figure out my flight options (going to a few places this summer). Tel Aviv is my last stop and I would fly from there through Munich back to LAX. That's a good 20+ hours of mostly flying, and transferring. Is this mentally possible? I'd save a good $300 by taking this option. I just feel like a wimp cuz most I've ever done on a plane is 6 hours (and that drove me crazy). How the hell does someone just sit for that long? If you've done flights this long consecutively, how did you entertain yourself? |

| Get drunk in the plane and pass out. My longest flight has been 7 hours so its not bad. |

| Make sure you have an aisle seat so you get out of your seat easily and walk around. |

| Wow, getting drunk sounds like the perfect answer. That'd be 5 hours of drunk, then I can sleep until the hangover is gone. nch09s you are Genius! Tubular, I'll be in Much Aug 5th-ish through Aug 15th. I'm stoked! |

Constant bathroom breaks on the plane becuase you are piss drunk can be tiresome though..... and kidna embarresing when everyone is like "omg this guy has gotten up to go pee like 4 times in the past 2 hours" |

That's one good reason to opt for an aisle seat.
And I've flown 16+ hours nonstop. |

Go to your doctor, say you have "flight anxiety", he will give you Xanax.
Eat those and drink until things are either "juuust terrific" or you pass out - that, my gay friend, is the very definition of "win-win." |

just tell the stewardess, "ein helles bitte". she'll give you free beer, and hell, maybe even a handjob too. you never know w/ those crazy germans.
hopefully your wait staff will be hot, sinc eyou'll have to deal w/ them for 8+ hours. |

It's a pity you can't choose who you sit next to on long-haul flights. The last one I went on a while back had me sitting next to some serious fat chickage. It wasn't so much that she was taking up the arm-rest, but that it rolled over onto my seat, squishing me into the window. Every time i needed the bathroom, she had to get up causing turbulence. Wasn't a pleasant trip.
Get half-tanked, take some long-haul tunage with you and perhaps something to read and you'll be good to go :) |
