[Travel] 5am flight

[Herr Tubthumper]

What a pain in the arse. Do you go to bed or stay up?

Had this recently in India. Stayed up.....went to the gym, ate late and went to the airport at 3am. Only problem was they were serving breakfast after takeoff, when I wanted a big glass of port and then a sleep [emoji23][emoji23]

Stay up, I never have any problems sleeping on a plane

Make the most of it as planes will be grounded after March next year

Why ?

Depends where you’re going. If it was long haul I’d stay up, take some sleeping tablets with me and catch up on sleep on the plane. If it was short haul and you are going to be landing in Europe at about 7am I’d have gone to sleep as early as possible tonight as the last thing you want is an entire day on your feet with no sleep.

It’s a 3 hour short haul jobby. It’s vacation so I don’t have anything to do tomorrow. Just a pain there’s one flight every other day at a really shite time.

Stay up, get to the airport & have an early early breakfast.

Never ever get an early morning flight. Unless you have to. Which I think you do. So go to bed early and get up early. Feel knackered.

I agree. But I had no option with this route; 5am every other day if I want the direct flight.

Long haul = save that exhaustion for a post dinner /film ocean slumber.
Short haul = Battle through, have a good lunch with plenty of prosecco /delirium + afternoon nap = winning at life

I know the feeling, I’ve been looking at going to Lisbon with easyJet and it seems like you have to fly at about 5.30am or 10pm. I’d rather just pay a bit more for a time that doesn’t impact on my sleeping hours, but it seems that only exists from Heathrow.

I think you’re now committed to staying up now bearing in mind it’s 11pm. Let’s just hope you haven’t got a wife/family who went to bed at 8pm tonight and are hoping for a busy day of exploring tomorrow!

Yes, I think you’re right, the going to bed moment has passed, especially as I have just poured a nice IPA for me and the Frau. And it’s our annual rest and recuperation holiday so we will mainly be horizontal on the beach fretting about where to have lunch and dinner so not going to be overly busy. We will push on through and deal with tiredness tomorrow.

Good advice me thinks.

Don't you mean holiday?

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Why ?

I’m assuming because of Brexit. Theoretically it could happen (the planes not permitted to land thing) but common sense says that it won’t.

You’re considering pulling an all nighter for a 3 hour flight? Madness. All you’ll want to do once you get on your holiday will be sleep and you’ll jet lag yourself.
