I have a picture somewhere I sent to a friend at work , sitting in F , feet up , plate of warmed nuts , Bacardi and coke , watching Alan Partridge ( film ) Aha !!!! , my ideal travel heaven .
I like to listen to music whilst relaxing on my sunbed but not really when travelling .

I rarely sleep on a plane, hubby is asleep before take off I prefer to listen to something be it music or a downloaded film, just because it drowns out all the chatter

Sleeping on the plane can cause DVT as its recommended you move your legs.

I'm usually like a child on a plane, and too excited to sleep even if I am cream crackered

Short naps is all I can ever achieve in economy class. I have slept for up to six hours in Business Class flights, only ever travelled once in First as it's out of my price range, and that was a shorter flight so didn't need to sleep.

I can't sleep on a plane. The worst time is when we're flying through the night, they lower the lights and insist I put the window blind down .............. and then people start snoring!

Recently been on a Thomson flight to Palma that had over 60 children on it, no way anyone was going to get a wink of sleep on that jaunt

It was hilarious, the staff don't just deserve paying they deserve real gold medals, dashing about with lap belts for the infants, escorting pre-take off toilet runs, insisting parents put down arm rests for take off and landing. Best entertainment I have had in ages.

Oh and the amount of trunkies that were on board I swear they were multiplying in the overhead lockers
Never manage to sleep on flights, don't do long haul and too inquisitive to sleep on short haul.

I think that I am probably one of those snorers It can be both an asset and a nuisance to others that I can sleep on a clothes line as the old saying goes! Headphones on, start up the plainsong playlist, wrap myself up in the pashmina and I'm away. My record is being woken up by a member of cabin crew so that she could check that my seatbelt was on under the pashmina ready for take-off

that's funny Doe know what you mean about the trunkies had to duck from a few flying round the airport floor
