I also like a window seat
I hate aisle seats
They unsettle me
KLM to Darkest Africa, flying through the night with, what with hindsight almost certainly became, half of ISIS or Al qaeda dug in at the back in the galley swigging wine and spirits miniatures two or three at a time and scoffing all the food and snacks.Quote:

I've only ever flown Virgin once. Delhi, I think it was. Most of their flights are to tourist destinations, aren't they? :sniff:Quote:

:hehe: Ah, yes. I remember well, the child redgunamo being loosed off into the heart of Africa in the middle of the night, with firm instructions to run like mad for the plane and fight like crazy to secure our seats; no modern nonsense like boarding passes or anything back then. Not even a proper airport terminal building, just some shacks full of people dressed like they'd walked in from the Old Testament accompanied by their farmyard animals.Quote:

Funny story...back in the day I would reimburse board members for the flights to London for the Annual Board meeting...so they would give me their receipts and I would reimburse...1st class travel allowed...no restrictions
However there were was this one guy who just gave me a print out of a BA 1st class return flight to pay....I checked with my boss and he said it was ok to accept.
I later found out he had flown over on Iranian airways in the cheeep seats :shrug:
Yep, Kenya Airways is more than decent. New fleet and trying hard.Quote:
