I’m pretty cool with it tbh. I went from the UK to Australia, stopping off in China, and it took about 28 hours in total and that was with one other person. Because there was two of us, having a whole row of 3 to ourselves really helped with space, you get to stretch your legs and move around more freely. With a stranger next to us, I probably would of got rigid and frustrated.
I dealt with it by doing a few things:
- Tired myself out prior to the flight, so by the time we take off I’m already napping
- Having about 3 different electronic devices. My phone which had a bunch of games on, my iPad with had a few movies downloaded from Netflix, and my laptop to finish off some coding
- Every now and then I got up to stretch my legs
