"So we all know how planes fly, right? The top of the wing is rounded and the bottom of the wing is straighter. Air takes longer to travel over the top of the wing, which means there’s less air pressure there relative to the bottom of the wing.

That means there’s more air pressure on the bottom — hence the lift. Right?

Nope."

It has been a while since I last posted and have been doing a lot of traveling lately, but I think the travel will be a bit less in the coming months.

In any case, I flew a couple of long flights to Amsterdam and Sydney and was lucky enough to receive decent to excellent seats. Seattle - Sydney alone was more than 18 hours alltogether and a good seat makes a big difference. Yep, even in coach class there are some good seats. If you want to find out which seats to ask for and which to avoid at all cost, check out SeatGuru.com.

They also have a mobile version for your mobile device so you can see what seat you are getting when they assign you seat 16C at the counter.
