I had to move my headset cord to my right side when I flew in Alaska for WOA in Juneau. It actually wore a blister into the left side of my neck since I was following the coastline so often. Anyone with the time should go fly up there for a season if you're willing to learn to be "comfortable being uncomfortable."
