Worth it when you get there of course. Loads better than Spain or the Canaries.
Shanghai to LHR - around 14 hours - that's long. Not even sure what the route is now - thanks to a certain person. LHR to Bangkok was great in an Airbus 380 - best plane ever - but the 777 we came back in was dire. If it wasn't the noisiest plane inside that I've ever been in, it sure felt like it was. Appalling - even with ear plugs.

It's taken me years to accept the statistics - that it is safer than driving - and some flights still do have what to me feel like dodgy moments. I really don't like turbulence, though I've now given up counting the number of flights I've been on.

If I remember I try to take photos - though it's a bit hit and miss.
