Default Flying advice needed ...

We are due to fly to Liverpool from the Isle of Man in a couple of weeks on a shopping trip and I have deep reservations about the 20 minute flight.

My wife talks incessantly and is a real fidgeter which during flights ... gets right on my goat.

Does anyone have any tips / suggestions on how I can cope with this journey ?

Thanks in advance

Reserve separate seats! Seriously, I'm doing that with my husband, he has a morbid fear of flying whilst I love every single second of it, even the turbulence. There's nothing I can do to help him so we've agreed that me and the kids will sit in one part of the plane and he can go green and shaky in another. It's a 14 hour flight, then a 9 hour flight two days later, not sure our marriage would survive 23 solid hours of being sat together in such a confined space!

3 Legs - I'd say make sure you keep flapping your arms or you'll fall in the sea!

I have never aspired to being any of them. Not an attractive crowd are they - clever though - very impressive brain power
