Journey
This is a long haul, intercontinental flight. In the allocated, limited space on the plane it is a matter of organizing myself.
The challenge is to get as comfortable as possible. In such a tight space it is not easy. I keep shifting position.

Common words yet concise and sagacious, they resonate immediately.
The most contradictory thing about this wise saying strikes me; globally quoted, all the while remaining completely unknown in the airline industry.
