It was tough to be on a plane for a dozen hours, not to mention when it was the economy class.
The torture, apart from the roar of aircraft engines and the discomfort of high pressure, was boredom and tediousness.
This was the first time for Dai Li to go abroad, and he was full of anticipation when the plane took off. However, he felt anxious and fretful after several hours. The plane was flying above the clouds and the scenery outside the window remained unchanged. It was quite refreshing at the first sight, but it was boring after a long time. The little television in front of him played these old movies again and again, and even worse, Dai Li had seen all those movies before. The shaking due to airstream from time to time made him nervous each time it happened.
