Dang Don. Did you have to tell everybody about Global Entry? Soon, our line is going to as long as theirs.
I agree, there is nothing like the feeling of dozing off as the plane takes off. Didn't mind a bit when recently, the crew woke me to watch the rocket exploding on the east coast- from 34000 feet.

And pretty entertained looking at all the humanity - then I put on the noise canceling headphones and check out for a few hours of solitude above the clouds. There's nothing, nothing, like looking at the world from 35,000 feet on a clear day. And there's nothing better than going asleep and waking up in Tokyo, or Paris, or anywhere. I'm not talking about flying First Class/B Class either (though that helps), I almost only fly coach overseas now. I just love travel and still get all giddy when I drive up to an airport and see airplanes.
For those of you that hate the security BS, I have two words for you: Global Entry. Best $100 you could spend. You get TSA Pre Check and bypass the BS. Coming through Passport/Customs overseas is super fast and easy.
My two yen.
