any flight over an hour is a long flt. to me. After that, legs start cramping, back and neck get strained. Worst part is, I can't sleep on planes... I've taken many a sleeping pill and shit like that, and I just end up falling out, only to wake up 20 minutes later with a muscle spasm. Drinking is bad, because I usually stack it on top of the drugs, and eventually puke, because turbulence is inevitable.
Matter of fact, once on a flight from OAK > LA > LV, I was hungover, and kept trying to sleep. Then I woke up in a cold sweat and felt like I was going to puke. And of course, there were no puke bags in my aisle, so I got out of my seat, headed to the rest room, only to find that I was in line behind some other guy. I had a cup of ice in my hand from the drinks they passed out earlier, and for some reason I was obsessed with putting that cup down. Suddenly, some guy was standing in my face asking me if I was alright, and I just looked at him like he was crazy, and replied "Uh, yeah, I'm cool"... then I felt something wet on my hand. I looked down and oddly enough, I had an ice cube resting on the back of my hand, and for the life of me I couldn't understand the physics behind that... then, I started noticing peoples feet next to me. It was at that point that my orientation straightened out and I realized I was lying on the floor of the plane. I fucking passed out and fell straight back like a board one guy told me. he said he was in shock that I didn't hit on chair or anything on the way down. So, until the plane landed, I had my own personal oxygen tank and looked like a complete idiot. The paramedics and LAX police boarded the plane and everything on our stop in LA. They took my vital signs like 5 times because they were training some n00b medics, and I had to sign about 5 different documents stating that I refused to go into the city to a hospital to seek immediate medical attention. Then the flight attendants (2 of them were actually hot) were all over me for the rest of the flight. "Can we get you anything else", and "here some snacks I brought"
It was horrible. Then there was that time I got food poisoning about 1.5 hours before I got on a flt. from Vegas to NY... *sigh
