Love the responses of those who apparently sit in wonder at human flight. Smirking me wonders if they just sit there, glazed and amazed, peering out the window. But...I'm actually there, too. 747 Pilot Mark Vanhoenacker's book ("Skyfaring") is a nice devotional for this frame of mind, too.
Long haul in Y means carving up the hours into chunks: read, listen to music, write/TV, nap, take a walk. Intersperse with snacks or drinks as desired.
