laid out his reasoning in a post titled: “I enjoy 10+hour plane flights, even in economy.”

He explained: “Sure the seating might be uncomfortable, but if you can secure an emergency row seat it is not miserable. 

“A 10+ flight feels like a true stress-free, worry-free existence where I don’t have to think about studies, or anything I am supposed to complete, not to mention basically constant service, you can watch movies for the entire flight if you want. Economy food is garbage though I admit.

“Flights just feel like a true ataraxy where I’m not thinking about anything I have to do, just watching movies and eating or drinking.

“I also have the opposite of claustrophobia, I find sleeping in a coffin so cozy… I like caving too.”

Viewers rushed to the comments to give their opinion on the matter.

One wrote: “100 per cent agree. Ten hours to do nothing but read, nap, and watch movies without feeling guilty that I should be doing something productive is a nice feeling!”

Another said: “Same, I really REALLY like long trips. It calms me down for some reason.”

It comes after a woman revealed a clever item that makes long-haul flights much comfier.
