Thngs that make flying much, much worse

1) Catching the last flight out of Maui. I keep swearing off red eyes, but if your destination is somewhere other than the West Coast, overnight flights are sometimes the only sensible option. 
2) Flying about as far as possible without leaving the country. My Eastern Seaboard geography isn't great, but Boston has to be about as far from Hawaii as physics allows. 
3) Give all of your legroom to your feline travelling companion. My neighbors needed help transplanting their 3 cats (apparently airlines only allow one cat per passenger). Aside from a moment of pure terror when I thought TSA was going to make me carry the cat through the metal detector (cats require a strip search and pat down to get through security), the lost foot space was my only cat complaint.

Keeping track of total travel time proved difficult with all the time zone crossings, but it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 hours (airport to airport).
