View Full Version : I think the best invention in recent times on flights, is the altitude/distance/time remaining

features the passenger has access to.

For me the altitude thing is good for nervous passengers they can keep their eyes on that. so reassures them.

The time to go is good but also had a downside as it can be a bit depressing when you fall asleep with 7 hours to go wake up thinking great I've passed some time and now it's on 6 hours and 50 minutes to go.

However I find even with plenty of entertainment on board I tend to get bored of it very quickly as Berni says nothing is as enjoyable as on the ground.

and sleep until woken for more food then sleep..only way..also best thing but short lived was the cameras where you could bring up on the screen cameras facing forward, down and back , they were ace esp at take off and landing..had them on flight to sri lanka/maldives in about 2003 ? ..never saw them again, read that too many complaints ? cnuts , they could have just not turned them on

I had some US soldier type next to me on a flight to Denver he couldn't stop asking me questions.

I noticed the man in the seat next to me was embroiled in an argument with the bloke infront. I then had to sit there listening to this continue for about an hour into the flight until they both got bored of going round in circles.

Then I took some sleeping tablets which only served to give me incredibly irritable legs, so I got up and stood at the back of the plane. Then a bloke came to the bogs and collapsed in my arms from dehyrdation.

Then the arguing bloke next to me came to the back and joined me, and he turned out to be an arsenal-hating west ham season ticket holder.

Then the bloke he was arguing with came to the back of the plane for a piss and they started to kick off again, and I had to play peacemaker.

I slept for 0 minutes of the 9 hour flight and stood for about 6 hours.

Imagine a wee map showing you're 30 or 40 miles from your destination and the pilot has to circle around for a bit :-( That would make people more nervous.Not me though,no way would I be kacking it.No way.

and if possible swallow a teenth of solid before going through customs, kicks in nicely on flight but not all at once, goes well with the red wine and food..then better than a sleep ing / valium tablet

I can't even smell the regular hot chicken or beef without feeling sick these days. Biz Class food remains decent, but don;t seem to get the upgrades I used to now they intro'd premium economy.

And can they take a 'please leave me the f*ck alone' bit of passive aggressive hinting? They can not. On they carry.

'Oh, my dad was stationed in Kent during the war'...'Oh we loved Stonehenge'...'We come from a little place called Milwaukee'...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRGGGGGGG GGHHHH! :furious:

Irritating, sweet, polite c*nts actually make you feel bad for sticking on the headphones and just plain ignoring them.

To say i felt a bit **** would be the understate,ment of the year :-(

when this old couple asked me for a light. They then clocked the accent and was telling me about how there cousins grandson lives in London, they even do the stereotype thing of telling you his name in case you know him? then referring to Scotland as the old country and asking me about the Royal Wedding. Must have been there for 30 mins talking to them.

But in the USA honestly everywhere I go everyone wants a chat.
I was a train in LA people asking me about London. Then on a bus this guy was asking me 'are you guys ready for the Olympics' 'scared the CIA will do another 9/11?'

Then in New york this year I had the same 'how was the Olympics?'

merged, too many people with Platinum status, grabbing all of the upgrades. Those guys have miserable lives, flying every single week, so they deserve the upgrade.

windows as possible....Once i was right next to the wings, obviously imagining them being set ablaze, peeling off and the Joker riding on them going "blaaaargh". So i immediately put the shutters down. Two gay partners, sitting next to me were talking about how it would be "so splendid if we could take a look at the glorious view outside"...obviously hinting at me to put the shutter up....IThis got me more hostile and i started reading my Lemmy Kilmister autobiography ferociously, trying to ignore them and the bloody TURBULENCE. During the TURBULENCE the idiots were holding hands and looking at an Yve Saint Laurent catalogue, dioscussing FASHION, as i looked about, desperate for an UNDERSTANDING soul.....then there was a big THUD and i just said out lud - f**kING HELL! then recoiled in ym seat, my neighbours rather perplexed, asked me if i was alright, to which i replied - yeah yeah im fine, im great, wanna go out for a smoke? out on the wing? wanna go out for a lark and a freefall malarkey, you in pantyhose, me in ledergosen - yeah YEAH?
