Hi Everyone,

I'm heading east in a few weeks for a long awaited reunion with my SO, who is currently on posting in Canberra. After much deliberation, we chose BKK as a rendez-vous point. There seeemed to be little point in spending extra money on going somewhere exotic when I don't imagine a huge amount of sight-seeing will be done.

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase. In a moment of madness I booked myself a Y ticket. Upgrading is impossible as my mileage balance is next to nothing, so I'll just have to grin and bear it.

I can normally get my head down pretty easily in J / F, but I can stilll cast my memory back to sleepless overnight trips in Y thanks to my previous employer's miserly travel budget.

Obviously I want to arrive in BKK fresh as a daisy, and full of energy(!) so I'm exploring the idea of eating in the airport, popping a sleeping pill about 30 minutes before departure, and knocking myself out for the next 10 hours.

Is this something anyone here would recommend? If so, can you point me in the right direction of a decent brand that is available over the counter ?

Thanks, as always for your help!
