pie-eater 207 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ah yes. I have been successful in getting a seat behind a door/bulkhead pretty much every time in the last 7 years. I HATE being pinned in behind someone. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I tried to get a seat like that but unforunately I would have had to pay extra for it... since the goal is to do it on the cheap I'll just put up with the discomfort while dreaming of Bintang and beach babes!

Tex 3 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Originally Posted By: bobby12 I like the sound of that non-reclining seat, I havent seen those before.

During eating the cabin crew should be on to that, but at other times I do not understand the angst, I have had people in front being kind enough to ask if I minded them reclining, 'don't hesitate' is my answer, that's what the reclining funtion is for. It is more comfortable and if everyone got over their phobia of it and all reclined then you don't lose any space at all. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 What if I don't want to recline and get into this co-ordinated reclining thing? Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Nothing at all, that's your choice, but you can not complain because some else does want to recline. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 On any airline, if they fully recline on you, just means they don't have a common understanding on airline travel. It's give and take. Those mofos who fully recline need slapping. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If you fully recline the chair, its well uncomfortable!! Gives a sore back. I usually slightly recline it.....just enough that its just a little past upright. I can sleep fine in that and don't get any lower back pain, I've also started keeping myself buckled in (although a little loose). If it's a long haul, I can usually catch a couple of hours sleep after trying to watch the movies on those tiny screens! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I had a guy fully recline on me while I had baby on my lap and was breastfeeding (9 or 10 yrs ago). Pinned the kid into position pretty much. He reclined back soon after take off, stuck those eye pads on and stayed that way til we landed. Meanwhile I had to eat, feed and baby wrangle in that confined space. Staff did nothing even at mealtime. I always look behind to check the person behind is reclined before I recline mine.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 MB that's when knees in the back of the chair works very well! Stick em as hard through (although I do realise my legs are probably a tad bigger than yours), asswipe infront looks around and you just show that your legs are right into the chair.....usually he'll move the chair forward.

xxx 2 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I wish they went on the routes I wanted. The two times I flew them I really liked them. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well, I unfortunately the flights I was on didn't have any of their super fancy entertainment systems... I found them to be quite standard. In thing does stand out a little though. We had a delay coming back from Bali and instead of just shrugging their shoulders and asking us to be patient they served up sandwiches, cake, fried chicken, coffee and tea.

Slippery Jim 65 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Anyone who just reclines their seat back without asking should be put off the plane immediately. Link to post Share on other sites

Having spent 2.5 hours on the plane waiting to take off in Beijing the other morning, which killed any chance of making it to my destination that day, I sure wont be flying Air China again. Next time its back to Cathay. Glad they looked after you BM. If I may make a suggesstion have you thought about sending them a quick email of thanks? Link to post Share on other sites
