YYJ to BLR

I just was just subjected to a 10 hour flight from Vancouver to London while sitting next to a loud snoring Norwegian. I missed sitting next to the Swedish something Olympic team (yes, all blonds) by one row. Now another 9 hours of flying to India and I'm stuck beside a 7 year old who wants to know if we are there yet. We are still on the tarmac. This is going to be a loooooong flight.
