I am about to take you through a whirlwind feelings and emotions all airline travelers know to be true. Enjoy your flight!
2. Once the plane takes off, you search through the entertainment system and find a good movie, and try to find your comfy spot, in high hopes of falling asleep with your high-definition companion.
3. LOL.. comfy spot.
4. You get momentarily agitated as the person seated in front of you reclines their seat backwards, although, you have your seat maximally reclined backwards as well.
5. After a few more attempts of finding comfort in the tiny seating space that you have, you accept the fact that comfort is a nonexistent part of the economy class.
6. You fall asleep for 10 minutes, only to be woken up by the flight attendant, who is offering you your first airline meal. Chicken or beef?
7. After indulging in your bland and somewhat tasteless meal, you try to get comfy once again. Only to realize there is absolutely no possible comfort with a tray filled with trash, taking up roughly 50% of your sitting space.
8. What seems to be decades later, the flight attendant finally comes to take away your tray.
9. Now, time for some shut eye. At this point, the internal plane lights are off, all windows are closed and the majority of the passengers are asleep.
10. You sleep for a good hour or two if you are lucky.
11. Remember that kid that slept as soon as the flight took off? The one who got comfortable after take off, and used his seat and his parent's seats to stretch his body for a good night rest? That kid is awake. Enjoy.
12. Somehow, the majority of the passengers are still asleep, except you, you are awaken by the sound of a bored, confined, well-rested, highly energized child.
13. Falling asleep now becomes a difficult task, that can only be challenged by a rare few.
14. Time to put on another movie to help pass the time by.
15. What seems to be your new permanent residence, has only been an airplane ride of a few hours.
16. The internal airplane lights are now on, and most passengers are starting to awaken, the remaining few will be woken up by the airplane turbulence, that is sure to blend your organs together for a moment.
17. Breakfast is served. Is this scrambled eggs or mashed potato? I have never been more confused in my life, and no amount of salt and pepper can change the way I feel.
16. After the food tray has been taken away, time for a bathroom break. Why is the line to the bathroom so long?
17. You finally reach the front of the bathroom line and you cannot hold it in any longer.Once you enter the bathroom stall, a feeling of freedom and liberation hits you hard.
18. The toilet flush - rumour has it, that if you stand too close to the toilet as it flushes, it can suck in your soul along with your excrement.
19. Only 2 hours left for your flight, you start to feel optimistic. 2 hours, that's roughly equivalent to 1 more movie.
20. The airplane starts to descend, and the seat belt sign is on.
21. You start putting your seat up-right, and pack your belongings, the moment is finally here.
22. You bend down to put your shoes on, but they are no where to be found. After some panic and anxiety, you find one pair under the seat beside you, and the other pair, under the seat across from your neighbor's seat, 2 chairs down. How did it get there?
23. You have finally landed, you take out your carry-on, and you are waiting in line to exit the airplane.
24. The line is similar to what you would see in a crowded buffet, crammed, no space to stand, and everyone breathing your air. Personal space is not something that is common in such line ups.
25. After what seems like forever, the line finally starts to move, and you couldn't be happier to have landed at your destination.
26. We hope you enjoyed your flight, see you again soon, the flight attendant says with a friendly smile on her face; and that smile gets me every time!
