Well, I certainly hate flying at night.
I boarded the plane at 22.00, immediately donned my 'nil by mouth' sign (blanket over my head) and was fast asleep before the plane took off.
Having worked a full day, I was in no mood for anything except sleeping all the way to Tel Aviv, and would have done so had my kind neighbour not woken me above Sarajevo in the mistaken belief I was desperate to partake of a mid flight cheese roll. Needless to say I was not, nor was I able to get back to sleep.
I don't know about you, but flying gassed me up something awful, and it wasn't long before my neighbour had cause to regret waking me.
Landed at 5am, waste d half an hour due to my bloody driver not showing up, and am in a taxi on the way to the hotel and should be in time for a quick 7am breakfast before a car collects me at 8 to take me to the office for a round of meetings that are scheduled to continue till 19.30, followed by dinner with our guests. I shall sleep well tonight.
Thank God my return flight is during the day.
It's quite amusing, but whenever an inbound plane lands at Tel Aviv, the majority of the Israelis onboard applaud on touchdown.

Turbulent air flow over Sarajevo, nasty... ;)
Misread it the first time and wondered what a mid night geese roll looked like until I looked again. The first reading still seems more interesting.
