I've been across the Atlantic 5 times, and all I do is sleep. I instantly get tired. .

Funny, I'm the opposite. I flew to the West Coast probably 15 times when I worked at this one job. Never made it past 8 p.m. that first night. Never had a problem flying back, though I HAVE heard jet lag is worse for people going eastward. Just never seemed to work that way for me.

shop shop and shop...see if you can find a sale that will allow you to bump up into business class...your body will thank you forever! I can't sleep much more than a couple of minutes here and there on a plane, and I've got lots of body to fold up into that little space!! Been over a couple of times, and luckily I was able to find sales each time. One time I was in first class with all my inlaws in the back behind me...that was enjoyable!!!

Luftansa and Swissair were the best, USAirways the worst.

I can't sleep on planes, but before I had this ginormous flight from Jakarta to LA my co worker gave me half a Xanax and I slept comfortably for 6 hours of it.

I fly international all the time. I would say that USAirways is by far the worst. Their planes are older and are much less confortable than most. United is a little better, but beware....they codeshare flights all the time with US Airways, so you never know which airline you will actually be flying. However, if you are flying from Charlotte, it is almost worth they crap to go non-stop.

The foreign carriers are the best. Lufthansa is solid...never had a bad experience. Flew Virgin and Singapore Air a few times...they are out of this world.

Like many said, flights to London are usually only 6 - 6.5 hrs from Charlotte.

good luck

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
