Jump to postSorry, I posted this kind of hastily. She explained that flight 91 is not operating on Fridays, which is the day I am returning. Incidentally, when I look at the fares and schedules, Fridays are the most expensive days (now, not when I booked) and are the only days when 91 does not operate.

Jump to postGet a prescription for some sleeping medication (Ambien, perhaps). Try to sleep on the flights and then take it at night for a few days after crossing a lot of time zones. You might not feel perfect, but it will help you sleep through the night and adjust more quickly.
Jump to postI'll be traveling to Israel for five weeks in May.

Jump to postSo few of you seem to care at all about the other people on the plane. The fact is that it is uncomfortable for the person behind if the seat is leaned all the way back.

Jump to postThanks for all of your input on my questions. The two nights in Quito turned out being very nice.

Jump to postWhen international flights get diverted like that, do the passengers have to clear customs at the diversion airport, or do they clear at the destination, assuming the plane isn't diverted so long that they need to unload the passengers?
Jump to postThink about how many people you've probably seen in the terminals when you were walking/running through them. Moving walkways might clog things up even more since they would take up a good bit of space and block people from easily crossing from one side of the terminal to the other. They would be ni...
