I had to wear some grandad type slippers and a jumpsuit.
I'll pack some next time I travel.

That does sound like tremendous fun. I assume you are not allowed to do it with a fag on.

In an emergency situation I would definitely be smoking.....

Gatwick, though...

What a pain in the arse that place is to get to.

I rarely drink on the plane these days - but since my flights are usually at ridiculous hours and only between Munich and London I tend to just sleep. Which reminds me I need a few days back in London soon

Fly with Emirates. They rarely offer you a drink nowadays.

The tight ****s.

Singapore are ace. They can't give you enough booze. They even do a Singapore Sling. It tastes like cough medicine and cheap sweets, of course, but it's the thought that counts.

Yep. It’s also like a prison with confusing signs

I try not to if possible. A hangover on a long flight is the worst feeling. I had about six pints before a flight to Dubai and woke up with about three hours left. I cant remember feeling worse....

I always used to fly with them, until my company decided we could fly premium economy......

THey will give you whatever you want but they get pretty nasty pretty quick if you get pissed and start causing problems. I saw a bloke arrested when we landed in Dubai and, although he had been a pain in the arse, he hadn't actually done a great deal.
