The longest I've flown is about 8 hours before, how uncomfortable is it [I'm flying with Philippines Air]? In the past I have been able to sleep OK on planes.

I find 8 hours a breeze ............ just add another 6 hours to how you felt after your longest trip to give you some idea . I guess it depends on your tolerance levels and often the length of your legs versus the available leg room, particularly if you travel economy.

I haven't flown Air Philippines, been with BA, Emirates, Cathay Pacific and KLM, The last time I went in 2010 (unplanned urgent trip) it was Air France Heathrow to Paris, Paris to Hong Kong with a 5 hour connection wait and then Cathay Pacific Hong Kong to Manila. It took 27 hours and I didn't sleep a wink! I'm not tall but being cramped in the same seat for such a long time is a killer. I have also been fortunate to fly business class which certainly helps to make the journey a bit more bearable but I'd prefer to take a magic carpet any day!

I think that we would all like to travel on a magic carpet ride

I have now amended my holidays at work so that I have a day off before and after travelling, I think that I was being too ambitious with the time off work.
