For those of us who see snoring (in a "public place") as virtually a capital offence () a really, really good set of earplugs can indeed be a godsend...

As a pistol shooter (that's how I got in to travel! Overseas competitions!) I swear by the "Earmold" type plugs... made by "injecting" a two part compound in to the ear.. Sounds awful.. feels weird...works great.. (Too good in fact when acting as "Range Officer".. I have to "pop" one plug then...)

Best I've ever used and even blocks out snoring in shared accomodation...

Some Audiologists apparently do them.. but charge a GREAT deal more than the folks who service shooting clubs....

Only flown the 380 in Y..on a day flight.. but I'd agree that snoring may well be a problem up front... it IS quiet!!
