Puddin I have a complaint.

Why the hell do we not have a vomit emoticon?  I really wanted one.

puddin:

apskip:
mswood, your usual excellent report. I do have one technical note for all those fans of the International Date Line. It IS possible to leave at 10am and arrive 1am the same day if you are crossing the International Date Line. For example, the trip from Taipei to Anchorage takes 15.5 hours on the clock(about half flying time and half time zone difference). If that flight were to leave TPE at 10am, it should arrive ANC at 130am. Have the plane consume more fuel and fly faster and you could get there ar 1am. Now, nobody schedules a flight like that because who wants to arrive in Anchorage in the middle of the night(few people connect at ANC to get to Asia these days as the planes are long-range enough to go from the East Coast of the U.S. to Korea or Japan or China).

mswood:
Yeah, that exception I am aware of.  I lived 25 years in Alaska and have flown from both Japan, Hong Kong and Souel back to Alaska over the years so, I have had to deal with leaving one day having a long flight and still being the same day.

Which is hell on your internal clock, which just amazes me that teams ahve to deal with that so much in such a short period of days.
