I'm yet to find anyone on any flight I've been on that would be worth that...if I found a hottie maybe but don't tell my sister, lol. Been told it's better up there :lol: Dunno about LA-Cancun flight yet probably mag, music and book maybe try sleeping but Melbourne to LA will be magazine, maybe ipod (Qantas have like 2 radio stations and over 100 CD's to choose from), inflight movies there is about 30 to pick from, read a book, TRY to sleep i dunno, I just want to be on the ground so I get pretty anxious counting down 15 hours in the air.
That kind of reminds me of when we flew into Reykjavik, Iceland. The runway is about the width of a normal runway, right at the end of the shore line, so you're lowering down RIGTH above the water...pretty scary, especially at night http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=...905193&spn=0.036691,0.159645&t=h&z=13&iwloc=A
1st class is not really worth the $150. If you get upgraded for free, you should be chucking down the free alcohol, not napping in the comfy chair.
Longest I ever went was from Saudi Arabia to Romania to Iceland to New Hampshire to Florida, to Oregon...all without stops.
