Airplane cow class is mild middleclass torture, (1st world torture?)
Due to height, I cannot find a single comfortable position in a 0 class airplane chair.
I am not even particularly tall.
I do admit to unhealthy jealousy when I see people who fit well and go to sleep.
For me its trapped, uncomfortable, noisy, shitty food, rude co travelers, for 12 hours. I usually bring a couple of paper books, but there are only so many consecutive hours I can spend reading.
Paper books rule because you dont have to power them down, worry about running out of power, dont weigh much. and I can find space for it on the flip down tray. I have never been able to fit a laptop on that tray, much less have enough space for my arms and hands to type away.
And that is before I even get to my ultimate destination.
More often than not the hotel rooms are quite uncomfortable compared to home. (and that is spending $$ on a "western style" hotel room).
That said it may be a function of age and being on the spectrum.
The frustrating thing for me is that travelling has become a form of status building / making oneself interesting.
I am back on dating sites again and it pains me that travelling is still on top of most profiles' priorities. I was last on about 12 years ago and the profiles look very much the same.
Working from home is my favorite place.
