Wife and kids to London - Beyond Tiki

Having to get off the plane to join another one after just managing to fall asleep is just horrible. Go for an aisle seat, and wander around often. I guess if you are in a group, getting a bunch of seats together isn't too bad. Having a 'hefty' stranger next to you can be a nightmare, so ask to move if someone enormous flops down next to you. Drinking alcohol always works for me despite the health warnings, but take a bottle of water along anyway. Booze and planes are a delicate balance though. Get it right and you'll sleep like a baby. Get it wrong and you could end up strapped down and beaten like Richard Reid. Trader Woody
