I haven't flown coach (except to Vegas and Arizona) in about 5 years, and I can't imagine flying to Europe. I reserved three coach seats for the two of us, but there's so much more to first class than just the width of the seats. (sigh)

What to do, what to do?

(especially since I've already booked an Amsterdam, Belgium and Berlin trip for the Eurowebtainment show in October)

I fly to Europe every two weeks on coach. The best methods to use:

1. Get an aisle seat
2. Get little or no sleep the night before
3. Take 2 over the counter (or Ambien) 1 hour before the flight

If you are fat, then it is going to suck anyways, but if you can fit in the seats, the sleeping pills kick in, the lack of sleep, etc. I wake up as the landing gear is touching down.

By body is so used to this now, that when I get on the plane, without sleeping pills, I start yawning and getting tired.

If your real good, your body will smeel the food, wake you up, let you eat, and then shut down again.
