James!!

I think we all thought you were doing a virtual flihgt!!

So where are you headed? I was on a 13 hour flight last summer and it was quite long!! It will help if you're on an American airline, mine was Chinese and the movies were terrible! Have fun though!

I found my extended Amsterdam to Memphis flight long enough at just over 12 and a half hours, add in boarding and taxi time and de-planing, it was over 13 and a half hours. I found a nice long book to read so that kept me occupied most of the time. If you can get a window seat, if its a day flight it'll give you something to look out for, if its night windows seats are great places to rest your head, or at least on Boeings they are, i have found airbus windows to be shaped weird thus giving you a stiff neck.

Ask one of the stewardesses if they wish to attempt a longevity record for the mile high club. ;D

LOL, nice long book, hmmm. Thanks for your suggestions guys, any more would be appreciated ! I am heading from Toronto to Hong Kong nonstop on the new AC A-345 and I have an aisle seat but the window seat is just next to me. Hope no one is beside me  ;D ;D

Just ask at the counter for a window seat. Get there early and be very polite. You might get lucky.

Oh, I don't want a window seat because I like to be beside the aisle so in case I need to leave my seat, I can do it easily. I want to get the seats where you get extra legroom, like the ones beside the EMER. Door and the ones right after Business Class.

Hope I get lucky !

;D
