    Airlines.

    Budget airlines can get themselves to fúck.

    This is more a point of principle than of comfort, practicality or aesthetics, though, isn't it?

    After all, flying Aer Lingus to Shannon is just as shít as flying Ryanair to Shannon (as I know from recent experience). The passengers are just as ghastly, the seating just as uncomfortble and the attempts to gouge money out of you for mundane things just as blatant.

    Christ man, in what way is Aer Lingus even pretending to be a better option than Easyjet? I wouldn't class Aer Lingus as any better than Ryanair, for all love!

    Aer Lingus Ireland's national carrier. otatopeople:

    Because it is not a budget airline, but a national carrier - however wánk. And I think I'm right in saying that if you needed to take a short flight somewhere and had the choice between Aer Lingus and Ryanair, your conscience would cause you to choose the former. Am I wrong?

    Got Agua di Parma Ambra the other day which has been pleasing. Seems to last all day.

    Which of the Blu Mediterraneo range would you recommend?

    Obviously one has a league table of shít airlines, and one tries to pick from the top, rather than the bottom.

    Aer Lingus comes pretty close to the bottom.

    I do not like the Blu Meditarraneo range. I'm a Colonia Essenza man and none of the little samplers they give you has ever struck me as superior to that.

    What of Norwegian? They've brought a budget-type model to transatlantic flights, but aren't actually terrible. Are they 'budget'.

    And they have pictures of famous Norwegians on the tails of their planes, which always makes me chuckle, as you've generally only heard of one in three.

    v was booked on a Norwegian flight to JFK by her work last week. They apparently have a 'premium' cabin, which she reported was perfectly comfortable.

    I would have refused to set foot upon the aircraft. I would rather fly American or even United.

    At least they pay their crews a living wage.
