Places You Want to Visit

Maybe a dumb question but when you're on a 12 hour flight, you're not on a cramped little 737 are you?


No, 737 can't go that far. You're most likely on a 747, 767, or 777. The body of the plane really doesn't matter though...it's the seat configuration the airlines chooses and how many people they want to cram into the plane.

I have this weird thing about visiting Montana.

U.S.

Montana
Washington

Foreign Countries

Spain (Barcelona and Madrid)
Greece (Cyprus)

I would probably go the route you mentioned and upgrade to better seating. I'm sure it's well worth it on a long ride.

economy plus is well worth the few dollars extra, I tried it one time, and since have done it every time I have to fly. 5" or whatever doesn't sound like much, but the difference between my knees hitting the seat in front and not makes the flight a ton better.

Abroad, I would like to go to Asia someday, not sure which part. Australia would be a nice to do, if I ever can. Moscow would be cool as well.

As I said in the other thread, in the US, I just like to drive, the destination is usually an afterthought.


I always pay an extra $40 for an economy plus seat...sometimes I play the hight card and go to the counter and ask for an exit row seat. Without economy plus I don't think I'd fly at all.

you could travel like this:

Pretty much every major US city would be on my list. As far as traveling outside of the US, am I alone in not having too much interest? Only because of the travel time involved, mainly.

I actually prefer long flights, I hate having to drive an hour to the airport, get there an hour before the flight, get on the plane and then sit on the runway for another hour while some maintenance or whatever is being done last minute...all for an hour and a half flight.

If I'm going to have put all that effort into just getting on the plane I might as well have a nice, long flight I can enjoy. I don't want to do all that just to get right off the plane

You my friend are in the minority.

I'm just sayin'....if I have to fly, make it worth my while

I hear ya, but I've got no problems with a quick flight. But yeah, it is crazy when the time you spending going to the airport and waiting around is equal to or longer than your actual air time.

Short flights at small airports are great IMO. You don't have to show up early, you don't have to deal with crowds -- just stroll onto the plane, sit down and have a drink, then 30 mins later you're there.
