At the time I put this down to lack of sleep/germs on the plane/whatever. But it just happened to my sister too (same flight, same symptoms). I have flown a fair amount of long distance flights and never had these symptoms. So I'm wondering if there could be a particular aircraft (UA use 737s for LAX-ITO) that has some kind of contamination in the water or air or something? Does that sound crazy? Would be curious to see what you other frequent flyers think....
Most of the time when i fly to my destination flight feels like ages. But when i come back home it dosen’t feel very long. I seriously do not know why. This happens even if the return flight is longer.
