When you are sitting in that Domestic F seat for your two hour flight, you have no idea of what the person in front of you has just gone through.

On Dec 6, I will be on a short hop from ATL to PBI. I don't know if I will get upgraded (doubtful as I am on a T fare and have only Silver Medallion status) but the possibility always exists.

Before arriving there, I will have:

1. Been driven 45 minutes to a train station.
2. Spent 2 hours on a train to the airport in TLV.
3. Spent 2 hours (minimum) in TLV.
4. Flown 5 hours to CDG.
5. Spent 3 hours in CDG.
6. Flown 9 hours, 40 minutes to ATL.
7. Spent 1 hour, 50 minutes in ATL.

In total, I will have been travelling for 24 hours, 20 minutes, before I put my backside into that seat. I know that I have another hour and 35 minutes in the air before I arrive at PBI, wait for my baggage, get on a shuttle bus to Hertz, pick up my car and drive about 30 miles to Boca Raton.

Am I going to recline my seat (be it Y or F) as much as I can in order to try to get some rest? You better believe I will!
