(146,413 posts)However, the convenience of flying across the entire country in under 5 hours outweighs the inconvenience of traveling any other way. So, I deal with sitting on a plane, uncomfortable as that might be.
There are some choices one can make, of course. On most airlines, if you book early, you can book an exit row seat or one of the bulkhead seats and get some additional leg room. You usually have to pay a little more for that additional comfort. Or, if you can afford it, you can book one of the business or first class seats. I don't choose to do that, due to the cost.
Flying is not particularly pleasurable, so I get on the plane, sit my ass down, put my seat belt on, and do the best I can to sit there for a few hours. So far, I've managed to do that OK. If I become unable to, I'll stop flying.
