Heading home-I hate long flights

Heading back home in a few hours. This trip (shanghai to boston) usually takes 21 to 29 hours door to door. I really hate the long flights. you feel beat up getting off the plane after the long leg from asia.

Its too bad it takes so long. I really enjoy china once I get there.

Yes!!! Plane damn near landed sideways at the old airport. Scariest approach ever.

My brother-in-law goes to Korea about once a month. He says he is getting used to the flight. Non-stop ???? he says also. I didn't think anything flew that far non-stop unless it refueled mid-air.
