Can anyone suggest a method or even proper drugs
I can use to get to sleep so the flights don't seem
so long?

Benadryl works great.

One time I flew to London on a 747 sandwiched between a French guy and a
fellow from Hong Kong, neither of whom spoke english. For the love of God.


Does that mean that you had to talk to them in French and Cantonese?

No - it means that he was one of the very fortunate few who manage to
get through a seemingly interminable flight without having to indulge in
inane conversation with the person next to them.

I can see the possible issue.

For myself, however, I can say that I've had quite a few pleasant conversations on
long flights.

I was mildly amused when on a Dubai - Bombay sector, the cabin crew asked me to
befriend an older passenger they seated next to me. Nice old guy actually. Shame
about the A300.
