I realized the thing I enjoyed was the variety like pro team charters, Europe, Asia (gyoza at the spiral staircase) efficient transcon trips, Alaska, Hawaii, Caribean etc. not manually setting speed bugs on a round dial.
Flying 10 hours to eat gyouza at the spiral staircase is a culinary crime against humanity. I don’t get the unsophisticated food palate of people who fly all over the world/country - to some of the best food cities in the world. There are places all over Japan (around Narita nonetheless) that hand-make gyouza. And yet people rave about the all-you-can-eat frozen gyouza that you can actually buy in the USA, from the same company that the spiral staircase uses, even at Costco. You only need to go to the spiral staircase once to know that you just wasted a meal opportunity in Japan. If you aren’t going to bed disappointed after the spiral staircase then I implore you to venture out and expand your horizons. There are some seriously good food places in Japan. The spiral staircase is not one of them.
