    About this ebook

    Most travellers find long-haul flights far from enjoyable. Long queues, bustling airports, endless security checks, more queues and, finally, cramped seating with pretty average food.

    Have you ever rushed through an airport, sweating to make a connection, only to find yourself sitting squashed between two people you would normally avoid at all costs and wondered ‘There must be a better way’?

    Or are you a long-haul virgin, daunted by your upcoming trip?

    Then now is your chance to make the whole experience better.

    From booking your flight to arriving de-stressed at your destination, this little book will guide you through your long-haul flight trauma, step by step, enabling you to at least escape with your sanity and, at best, perhaps spread out on an extra seat or two where you can relax, get fed first and enjoy an extra mini bottle of wine to soothe away your stress.

    Captain Jock

    Captain Jock really is an ocean-going captain, currently sailing the world as Master (Captain) of various ships. He has a long and colourful history of being what he himself calls 'an aircraft geek'. Currently enjoying 12-18 long-haul flights annually, he relishes the whole process and has become very observant of the fickle, sometimes-erratic and often-humorous behaviour of the thousands of fellow passengers he encounters. Now a granddad to two boys, he enjoys family time at home but is never far from the water; he is skipper of a commercial jet boat on the Waimakariri River, NZ, a couple of times a week whilst on leave!
