I feel 4D is OK. Family outing for 3 days isn’t necessary.
Reading for 15 hours on flight proved highly productive but may not be sustainable…

–28 Jun planning
- in office 7am – 4pm. Go home and pick up all luggages including the tie.
- train departures: 4.33pm, 4.52pm, 4.57pm to hit GC before 6 to meet XR
–seats:
- Many good seats can only select at counter. 52C JFK->CAN selected for RMB 100. need to hit airport early (11pm Wed?) to select the bulkhead.
- 60C for CAN -> JFK. To select the bulkhead, need to reach Changi early. If all taken up then any aisle seat is the same.
- https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/China_Southern/China_Southern_Boeing_777-300ER.php has a mistake about Row 38
- Rows 37 (39) and 51(52) have extra leg room
–Sleep:
- Shall we Sleep before 1.45am long flight. Proved to be something I actually needed. I was way too tired after getting up 8am and working full day.
