The newspapers deliver news and some might say "old news". We retail investors are always disadvantaged if we rely on the newspapers. There is some truth in this. :)
long haul flights. For the visit to our corporate HQ, it will take me over 30 hours door to door, from my home to my B&B in Czech Republic.
It involves 2 flights each way (total flying time : 19 hrs incl transit) , 1 coach transfer (2.5hrs) and 3-4 hrs of waiting time at airports. This excludes the time that I was already awake, before the taxi ride to the airport.
At the moment, there are no direct flights (stopped years ago). Otherwise, I will saved about 8 hrs in the process.
All these time, I get really restless. Those inflight movies are like re-runs and drinking myself to sleep, cannot work as there are always screaming babies in the front rows (pity those Biz class as it is directly behind them).
Next time, I will see if stopover in Dubai, Bangkok & Taipei are possible between those other airlines....
6 hours flight. If it is those oversized US "budget" airlines, without personal video screen, I will be super upset.
ReplyDeleteHave a good trip. ^-^
Hi SnOOpy168,
ReplyDeleteIt was just one leg of a 30 hours journey from USA back to Singapore! Too long.
Thank goodness we had personal touchscreens and >100 movies to watch.
