I find i can only sleep lying down which is why as a treat every now and again i fly Club class on long haul.

It's an amazing experience, just a shame i can't afford it every time!

: I wish I could sleep on planes! Was flying back from Tokyo
: overnight once and while we were over Siberia, I thought I would
: take a sneaky peek out of the window to see what Siberia looks
: like from above. Well, I thought it would be a sneaky
: peek, I'd only opened the window blind a crack, but it was in
: fact like someone was firing a high powered laser across the
: cabin.... And Siberia looks like grim and inhospitable tundra,
: so not even any surprises!

: So I normally fly with a briefcase packed full of gadgetry,
: something amongst them will always distract me! For anyone who
: flies often and is a keen reader, I really recommend an e-Reader
: - mine's 4 years old now, but still going strong with hundreds
: of books on it. Some people will always want something that does
: a bit of everything, which is why tablets might take off this
: year, but personally I don't mind carrying a few bits of tech
: around when I'm going away - not like I'll take them all with me
: every minute of the day.
