The World's First 20-Hour Airline Flight

i do london - sydney every year for vacation. i usually stop 2-3 days on my way there or when coming back. SIN or HKG usually. both beautiful places.

when i can't stop i buy lounge access and make sure it's fitted with showers. usually in SIN as it's one of the best airports in the world.

and i always take sleeping pills/xanax with me just in case.

if you follow my advice you can make it a bit more bearable even with economy.

Oh totally, you can take the edge off a bit, but fundamentally it's unpleasant. I try and shower if I have time in the change. I also fast for 12 hours before breakfast time at the destination. In my experience this cuts down the amount of days it takes to feel 'normal again'.

Yep, a shower 1/2 way is amazingly refreshing.

Even better pro-tip: SIN has a rooftop hotel with an outdoor pool, spa, shower, restaurant & bar. $20SGD entry. They even had a deal with free meal & drink a while back.

It is AMAZING to get a longer layover and hang out, have a swim, shower & real meal!
