'morning coats.
Nico! You're gonna visit PR? Shiny!
My suggestions for the flight:
1) If you can afford it, buisness class is good. The same amount of space and type of seats as first class (I've heard).
2) If you want to save even more money, go coach class but choose either a) the front row after the divders/bulkheads, or b) see if you can choose the wing exit row. Both have a bit more leg space than any other row.
3) If it's the same price, consider a stopover in Hawaii. The flight from Austraila to Hawaii is very long (something I learned from b
d ex1) 
and you might like some time to get out and strech your legs a bit.
(Plus, if the timing is right, you can get PR a few more 'exotic' type things when you get there. 
)

Kids misbehaving on long flights? 
I don't get it. With all the portable electronic toys that are available for them to play with...why? It should be easier for parents to have the "little darlings" sittting and distracted for longer amounts of time.
'Course growing up where my family had to take 1-hour flights to go from island to island so we got used to flying around (and entertaining ourselves). (I think my parents may have also tried to work the airlines schedule so that us kids would be a little calmer...
.....
Okay, that's it for now...gotta get ready for this afternoon/evening: movie (Hawaii International Film Festival is this weekend and I wanna see the Robotech movie -- shiny!), and a ho`ike. (Hula performance for my co-worker's daughter.)
I'll see you shiny folk later.

As far as flight class.....
I flew back from Iraq in first class. I actually got the Captain Kirk chair (yes it is there). It was the best flight I have ever taken.
Nico, usually when you check in you can request a first class bump. They do it for free if there is an open seat in first class. I would go first class but if you are on a tight budget I would sugest going coach and trying for a bump.

Is there anything better than a handful of pumpkin seeds fresh out of the oven?
I ask this as my hand is warmed by FRESH BAKED PUMPKIN SEEDS for the munching!

Hello Kelkhil:
It is that time year. Pumpkins, turkeys with stuffing, cranberrys, and yams. We are getting a cold spell in this neck of the woods. A little to early this year. So much for global warming.
I like to sit back with something chocolate. A candy bar, brownie, or cake. Also need chocolate milk to was it down with. It is becoming my last addiction, since I'm getting to old for the others. All my books have chocolate stains on them from my fingers. Forget to lick them off before turning the page.
I don't know if my parents did anything special when we traveled. My sister and I were well behaved. I an introvert, so that helps. Can sit for hours working on just about anything without disturbing a soul. Put me in front of a TV when I was a kid and forget about me till dinner.
As far as what seats to get. I have not done much air travel. Forget window seats. Ocean gets boring after a while.

I've only been on planes twice in my life, and it was about a decade back for the later of them, so I don't have much to say on the subject. All I know is that I'm only comfortable when others can look at me and say "are those supposed to bend like that?", so I get along fine in confined areas.
PR: Nuts. Looks like somebody beat me to the gate
Ah well, that's what I get for bein' a pennyless Canadian student.
Damn, I need a vacation.

I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.

I've actually jumped out of more aircraft than I've landed in, so I can't vouch for seating arrangements.
I can, however, recomend the MC5 Ram Air Parachute for any and all exit craft proceedures. It can't carry as much weight as a T-10D or an MC1-1D, but it's more menuverable and could conceivably carry you over 30 miles towards your destination.
And remember, keep your head out of your 4th point of contact.

I think so. The giggles of delight your teenagers let loose when they are lighting their newly carved Jack o Lantern's!

Kelkhil, I do like "FRESH BAKED PUMPKIN SEEDS" right out of the oven, but they are not my favorite thing. I think I'd have to go with Traveler. Chocolate would be one of my favorite foods of choice.
