Summer flights (08)

KLM to england is good, you get your own tv screen with games etc.

 

I flew to Oz with Singapore Airlines last week, they are the best airline I've ever been on. They had nintendo games and tons of on-demand movies. Food was good too, and they seemed to come over non-stop with the drinks.

 

Virgin are meant to be good but Ive never flewn with them.

Singapore were good the one time I used them too. Can't remember food... can't remember any food being "good" actually!

Anybody want to buy 4 Boeing 747-400? Ex Singapore airlines and now ex Oasis.

 

Poor peeps who booked with them and paid for their tickets.

I think I'll save my money this time.

I like airline food!

 

Virgin was quality, I've also flown Malaysian as well and the service there was impeccable....hot hostesses as well!!

[muikabochi 208]

You like airline food?? You must be travelling first class, surely?

 

The smell gets me. I seem to dislike it more each year. I usually take a bag of home-made butties and snacks as a reliable backup.

[thursday 1]

I like airline booze, especially the lounge booze. They just put it there encouraging you to empty the bottles.

Do you drink on flights? The few times I have had a few I have felt just awful when I got off the plane.

[thursday 1]

As well as on flights, I drink before and after. Because:

 

1) if it was a business trip I want them to know I'm an alchie

2) if it was a holiday, it's a good start to a holiday

 

I once got so messed up with timing that I had asked for a double whisky after loadsa wine to try n fall asleep before landing in Heathrow. As soon as I downed it, the pilot came on and said we are commencing our decent into heathrow and should be on the ground in 30 mins. Needless to say I arrived drunk, had to pick up the hire car while trying to un-drunk myself and driving on the motorway fairly drunk and without sleep for about 20 hours.

 

Gonna have to do beter in June.

[muikabochi 208]

Once I drank quite a lot and I did feel TERRIBLE at the other end. With the time being as it was though, I think it might just have been a hangover.

 

I usually just have a couple of beers now to try and make me sleepy.

[thursday 1]

This June, obviously, I will be on my best behaviour. I will be taking my baby. So no drinking, and no cursing on the M25.

[thursday 1]

Muika, you felt, "terrible" after drinking 'cos you did not hydrate enough. Drink lots and lots of water during the flight and during drinking on the flight.

[scouser 4]

So we basically need to be drinking constantly all the way home?

[Tubby Beaver 209]

haha yeah. I don't like drinking on long flights because of the dehydration problem. I do have one or two, just to be sociable!!

[thursday 1]

On a Virgin flight long ago, I asked for some Champagne some time after the meal service. The stewardess, all smiles handed me a glass. She came back a few minutes later and asked if I'd like some more. I said, nah, I want to sleep now. But she insisted, "go on, I opened the bottle for you".

 

What is one to say? "bring me the bottle baby"

[2pints-mate 0]

She sounds like a right nice lass.

 

I drink tons on a flight - both water/juice and beer. Only problem I've had is feeling a bit tipsy at the other end.

[muikabochi 208]

Got my summer hols all planned now.

 

2 weeks in England, with a week somewhere else (oh, well that bit isn't planned yet).

I haven't made my next flight arrangements back to Japan yet, but I think it's going to hurt the wallet...
