Just one of those places you have to go in your life time
My first ever flight was the NY - so if I can make my virgin flight a 7/8hr flight, then she can do it easy
I thought it was okay - dozed a bit, looked out the window a bit, read half a book (other half on the way back) and watched a couple movies.... Sure it was a tad boring, and I'm not the type to get up and walk round unless I really really have to (I never used the loo the whole way there - I HATE using public loos (in fact any except my own!) let alone one in a plane
) but it was ok....
Flew back in upper class, so that was a treat - bigger, more comfy chair, better service (tho to be fair to the younger stewerdesses in coach on the way out, they were pretty good and nice girls) and more relaxed as it was a night flight
I strongly advise if you are going there, get a night flight for the return journey! Mine left Newark Intl (New Jersey) at 21:45, but when we landed in the UK (Heathrow) it was 09:30 - so if you can sleep most of the flight back, when you wake landing, you've virtually killed the jet lag....
Jet lag when GETTING there on the hand, was a whole different matter
Tho I beat Rhys, as I managed to stay up past midnight US time
Rhys managed abotu 10pm IIRC
