Current Events > Man a 13 hour flight sounds tough I dunno if I could do it

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have a hard enough time using the bathroom when a few people are behind me waiting but hundreds?

Oh man

Long haul flights aren't bad at all. Just limit your intake of coffee and booze and try to sleep for part of it.
---

Just take some probiotic with a bunch of coffee, smokes, and fiber like hours you leave for the flight so you're cleared out before you leave.
---

Just don't eat

i was on an 11 hour flight like a month ago. it was kind of rough, especially for me because i have a very hard time falling asleep on planes.

and yea the bathroom line was very long, i just held it in and exploded when i got off the plane. my suggestion is to get drunk or take zquill or something
---

What are you going to do, skydive out Midway through?
---

rip man a 13 hour flight died at the plane shot up to 97 miles
---

Bring stuff to do, play, read, and ear plugs so you can sleep.

Longest flight I've been on was 17 hours

you made it 11 hours without using the toilet?

Take a tranquiler

Honestly if you can just make it until most people are asleep then there is no line for the bathroom. I find it impossible to sleep on planes (not enough room and too much noise) so that strategy has worked for me
---

As earlier posters suggested, try to clear your bowels before the flight and take some sort of sedative during the flight if you have trouble sleeping.

Yeah I had a flight from San Francisco to Taiwan that was about 13 hours. It was pretty brutal, but really not as bad as expected. Make sure you select your seats as soon as humanly possible (whether you can do that at ticket purchase or at 24/48 hours check-in I think depends on the airline) and get yourself an aisle seat so you can go pee freely. My return flight had me stuck in a window seat, so I felt bad having to make the other two people get up so I could pee. I did my best to limit my time getting up until they themselves got up too.

The entertainment is also like way better than a normal 2-4 hour flight. Movies and TV shows are abundant. You should also invest in in-flight wifi at that point. My flight was about four years ago, so wifi on planes wasn't AS abundant, but most flights at this point should have that available.

Make sure to download what you need too in terms of movies and/or games. You don't want to rely on airplane wifi for downloads.

If you're trying to not go to the bathroom, it's best to avoid the booze
---

get a GBASP and see how many times you can beat pokemon.
---

it's horrible
---

Noise canceling headphones are a godsend for flights. I don't know how I did it without them.
---

Just sweat it out like George.
---

I usually just watch all the foreign movies available. I tend to not be able to finish as much as I wanted.
---

I've done it about a dozen times at least that long. I always take the isle seat. I rarely sleep and I'd rather be asked to move for someone than to be the one to ask. It allows me to walk around the cabin much easier.

Uh, that's absolutely possible

I've used the bathroom twice ever on an airplane. I've done multiple 13 hour flights without going but ended up doing it on an 11 hour flight from Vancouver to Guangzhou and a 5 hour flight from Tokyo to Bangkok.

I got really good blatter control. Never shit on a plane or overnight train either and I've lost count how many times I've done both.

Take something to help you sleep and get rest on the flight, then when you wake up watch a movie or something.
---

Also make sure to avoid looking at all of the "maps" that the international flights show, where it shows your plane over the map and gives an ETA. You'll find yourself staring at that and it'll make it seem like a lot longer.
---

make sure you empty your bowels before boarding, waiting for peeing is ok but having to poo on a plane... nah son
---

it's not that bad. make sure the flight is during daytime, otherwise, you aren't gonna get any sleep

during cruise control, you are free to walk along the aisles to stretch your legs

I have a 24hr combined flight coming up yay!!

Philly to Bangkok
---

just got back from vietnam. took 3 different flights, layovers and everything were about 24 hours. It was pretty damn miserable.

Bathrooms weren't really a problem though. Don't think I ever waited for more than a couple of minutes for one. Didn't take a shit on one though. tried but it just wasn't happening.

Honestly getting up to go to the bathroom was awesome. excuse to get up and stretch your legs for awhile

I was high as shit when I typed that. I'm surprised there wasn't an autocorrect attempt though.

I went four and half days on a hiking trip without a number two once.

It came out like a green piece of concrete.
