I do understand the people who do survive airplane crashes are the ones who can get the hell out in a hurry, perhaps through a fire. I always wear athletic shoes and natural fiber clothes that are a bit harder to light than plastic. It may not make that much difference but I will take any edge I can get. I am amazed at what I see people wearing on a plane. |

I guess that out over the Atlantic, I doubt it really makes much difference. I really do not have any problem sleeping on a plane and that is how I deal with long flights. I put something soothing on my MP3 player and sack out. My wife is frustrated when I wake up rested and ready for anything. We may have a couple hour drive after landing on our vacations so it works out fine. I have a hard time sleeping. Seats do not fit me. To short in the backrest. Being 6'4" is not good for airline seating. |

I am amazed at what I see people wearing on a plane. I used to laugh at people getting on a flight to Hong Kong from SFO wearing a 3 piece suit. I usually wore a nice warmup outfit. Suit needs to be washed after a 14 1/2 hour flight in the air. Would not want to go direct to a business meeting from the flight. And would schedule my meeting before I left with a bunch of pad time. |

Being 6'4" is not good for airline seating. Fly up front. To cheap on a lot of flights, and unless a jumbo, the seats are still hard to sleep in. Best sleep, was a trip to Hong Kong, and only 125 passengers on a 747sp. Had business class, but went back to coach and had 5 seats across in the back of the plane. Probably 7 good hours of sleep. |
