I Survived Long Haul in Y

[Yehuda57]

Ag the memories.......
Stops in DKR and ACC only to find out the "empty" seat next to you was for a fragrant native

The worst airplane smells ranked:

3) Air India long hauls - curry and long flight BO make for a killer combo.
2) Dakar. I don't know what it is, but when the ground staff get on to do the pre-USA-strip-the-plane-bare-security-check, the odor is literally suffocating.
1) As you near the end of a 16 hour long haul - where you have switched time zones, fallen asleep for 4 minute increments about a billion times, had your back, neck and leg muscles twisted in every which way, endured crying babies, been spat up on, and used the same 2x2 lavatory a few hundred other passengers have for the past 1 hours - towards the end of all that, the lights come on and they bring out The Egg. The infamous KSML breakfast omelette that exudes such a noxious fume that I'm surprised Zyklon B isn't the first listed ingredient.

Well put except for 4.
I have a guilty pleasure where I love airplane food. My favorite plane food is the soggy omelet and I get very disappointed if they serve blintzes instead.
I have been known to trade a ride from the airport for a breakfast omelet fresh off the plane.

Who would trust such a creature to drive them anyplace? Besides, there is no customs agency that would allow so dangerous a weapon through.

LAX-IST middle seat next to a 250LBS Muslim lady who for some reason every time I fell asleep her cane would hit me.

I think my last international long-haul in Y was in 2005 on the free AA systemwide tickets. This game has certainly spoiled us.

Weren't several legs or the island hopper in coach?

Nope, island hopper was in J. I self-downgraded GUM-NRT from J to Y for a middle row of 5 seats to sleep on though.

Hope so. Didn’t mean to offend.
Although I do realize that things are not always as they appear!

Bad joke. Was a pleasure!
