[quote=Anonymous]So much turbulence, so many hours on planes. I've flown (literally) millions of miles.

Some of the worst: flying from Tokyo to SFO trying to beat a typhoon, so on the edge of it for over 10 hrs.  No meal service, no movie (this was in the late 70s), no drinks, nothing.  Flight attendants stayed seated the whole time--it was nonstop turbulence for the entire flight.  Seriously doubt they would ever do that nowdays.  Can't imagine how many barf bags they went through on that flight.

Two flights where people hit the overhead due to not being belted in, one reroute to Gander, Newfoundland, and one reroute to i don't even remember where.  I never take my seatbelt off for anything except a quick trip to the lavatory. Kids are not allowed to unbelt ever, and they were in carseats and belted for a long time.  Never lap babies, I've seen how that goes.

I once had to make DS pee into a bottle because he really had to go, and I refused to let him get up and go to lav during bad turbulence flying into Salt Lake City.  Approaches into mountain cities (Denver, SLC, etc) are always prone to it.[/quote]
