Something I learned recently...

NEVER take a midnight flight after slaving in the office the whole day.

And ...

if you do, NEVER pick a middle seat especially when the two people sitting next to you are strangers bigger than you!

Believe me, I was there, did just that and it was a terrible experience. I don't know how miners who do the 'flying in flying out' do it week in week out though. I suppose when you are going home after a week or two in the outback, a little discomfort will not dampen the home going spirit :-)
