It is not recommended to wait until two hours before departing for the airport to consult one's flight info. One might just discover that Lufthansa is flying not out of JFK but out of Newark. An entire two-bodies-of-water away.
It is furthermore not recommended to end up jammed into a seat in the very last row of a 6-hour flight to Frankfurt. That's 56K. Lilliputian leg room. Zero seat-recline. Relentless traffic flow to toilets.
Lastly, it is not recommended to share a flight with one Russian and one Pole who stake out the standing room area behind row 56 and spend four hours, yes FOUR, talking smack in an Eastern block language while downing multiple beers. Occasionally a third man joins them to tell rude jokes in loud English with an unidentifiable accent.
NO transatlantic sleep possible, even with narcotic assistance.
