Do you happen to fly a lot, and thereby might have a personal reason to not want flying to be as bad as reported?

When flying, so quite a bit for me, actually :)

People really shouldn't fly I guess. Because many of us deal with multi-hour time changes on a regular basis. Going to be dealing with a 5 hour one in a couple of days.

Doesn't sound that worse than the last time I flew couch...

As someone who takes regular flights on planes I find this disturbing.

Amazing, do you have issues on planes too?

cryptarch May 15, 2017 View on HN

I'm flying significantly less, you could try that?

mikebradshaw Nov 19, 2010 View on HN

not prevent, but make me need a REALLY good reason to go through all of that on top of the long flight.

Never set foot on an airplane unless I absolutely have to. :)

Hehe all good. I can empathize, long flights are a real drag.
