Booze will do the job. You'll certainly have the craic with the flight attendants and the passengers. Once you get tired, you'll start to doze off and next thing you know it, you've landed :P

Does anybody have any tips on how to survive a 12 or more hour flight ?

I have the feeling i'm gonna die sitting in those crammy airplane seats for more than 12 hours

12 hours flight?? I'm jealous

Long flights are the best! But I've only been on one 11 hour flight. Rest were all like 7 or 8.


They don't have to be crammy, it depends on the aircraft and the airline's seating arrangement. Also, look up what's on their in flight entertainment and if you don't like it bring stuff to watch or read.

Why on earth would you be jealous haha .. it is the worst.. you feel almost dead during it.. then there's the dreadful airplane "food" .

And oh god.. don't even get me started on the crying kids .

I'll have to be listening to some pretty loud rap or some Nirvana to keep myself sane during thhe whole thing

You can buy duty free drinks. No beer though. Just spirits and vodka really. I'm not entirely sure about that limit on drinks.

The new The Fast and The Furious 6 film. Brilliant movie so I've heard. Maybe World War Z?

Well you never know haha

When are you heading off? If it's another week, you are bound to get a decent copy of it somewhere. Does the plane have free wifi you can use? If so, you can stream it on your iPad or laptop.

Download all episodes of Aircrash Investigation. A must watch. Its amazing what can go wrong.

I used to watch that show.. i stopped cuz it made me fear getting on planes .. i'd end up spending the whole flight looking around for people that may be terrorists

Oh well that's no good then. If you were stopping in Bangkok, life would've been better for you haha

Most long haul flights should have ports available. I assume you'd be flying with Air France or Air Malaysia?

I honestly have no clue what planes i'm taking haha.. i assume it's one of those.. but hopefully there'll be wifi and somewhere to plug my laptop cuz my laptop only has like 5 hours of battery life .. and that's not even close to being enough

I still watch that. Used to watch it after school every day last year. Waiting for new episodes

Watching it on a flight can only make me feel better :eek:

One investigation solved = one less thing to go wrong

If your flying with Air France, you will have no power unless you are sitting in Premium, Business or First. None available in Economy.

If flying with Malaysia Airlines, some planes have power ports but it's down to what plane is used for tomorrows flight.

I'd give it a massive power charge tonight. Don't use it in the airports at all and the connecting flight to France and you should be fine for using it on your 12hr flight

Malaysia Airlines has been operating an A380 from Kuala Lumpur to Paris CDG for a few months now.

And Air France uses a 777-200 on the same route but there is no flight tomorrow.


So assuming your flight is from Paris to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, it will be Cityjet(Air France's Irish subsidiary) or Aer Lingus to Paris CDG and then Malaysia Airlines A380 to Kuala Lumpur in which case you're home free :pac: ya lucky bastard Riga

Rigamortus

Thanks for the advice lads .. much appreciated

If you're going to do a 12 hour flight in economy class, there's no better aircraft to do it than an A380

Wider seats, more legroom but that does depend on the airline, has power supply, USB port and it's feckin quiet

But make sure it is Paris to Kuala Lumpur with Malaysia Airlines

Let's hope i get that one then .. but the worst thing that could happen is that there's no wifi , no power supply, and the plane is full of crying kids
