Back in the 1960s and 1970s I took lots of Trans-Pacific flights (California to Japan or the Philippines or vice versa); some were on prop planes. If I were to do one of those 12 hour-plus trips now, they'd need a coroner to meet the plane! |
Thank you
Llarry! I think we might splurge on getting First Class tickets. I have a companion ticket that I need to book with by 8/31/25 so that will help a lot when it comes to airfare.
