When I go to to OZ, I'm flying First Class on Qantas:
18 hours from LA, there is no way I would be able to handle being squished for that long!
I flew Qantas to Auckland in economy. The seats are fucking thrones compared to short domestic flights within the US (examples include NY-CLE, NY-ATL). The issue I had, was I had to be the jerk that had to keep getting up and taking a walk around the plane. Luckily its a big plane. That little plane cubicle looks nice but it must be an extra grand or two, no?
I just checked the price from Seattle...$4049 RT....
Economy is $984 I have to switch planes in LAX
*sigh* why can't I just win the lottery?!?!? (and if I ever get to fly first class to OZ I will be damn sure to take my shoes AND socks off!-they will probably give me some nice slippers with kangaroos on them anyway)[/quote]
I got socks, toothbrush/paste and an eyemask. in economy. in 2009. Int'l carrier FTW!
There are a lot of pages here, maybe this has already been said.
1- Install 'Extra room seats' (called that to be politically correct)
2- If you're over a certain weight you must pay the extra money (maybe $50-100 for these seats)
Why? Cause even if the bigger people pay extra money for a regular seat they're still squashing the person next to them which isn't fair for that passenger.
Another note- My golf clubs usually cost 100-150 for a return flight while my total weight with clubs is still a lot less than some on the plane.
The worse thing on a flight though is the poor person who is sick.
Flying home from Milwaukee I was feverish, so weak, crying up a storm,
holding an awful cough in ...
it was torturous. My ears so plugged hurt really bad. JB was next to me though to comfort
and we had a free seat in our threesome, thank goodness.
I don't remember in a lifetime of flying being so uncomfortable. Never again will I
curse someone who is not well on one of my flights. It's the icing on the cake to be
that one on a plane. I pray I got no one sick, this has been a terrible infection.
Yeah, being sick on a plane is no fun at all! About a year ago I got food poisoning and it literally hit as I was standing in line to board my flight to San Antonio (from Phoenix). The longest 2-2.5 hours of my life! My body was literally shutting down. Cold sweats, stomach felt like it had razors in it, thought I was going to throw up. Was AWFUL! Couldn't get off that plane faster!
I do feel bad for people who have to fly while sick...that said, I despise people who fly with nasty colds, the flu or anything else that is highly infectious. It always seems like they are right next to me...coughing and sneezing all over the place. :x
Oh so sorry that happened to you, horrible,
I had a similar experience coming back from Cozumel...
barely made it through customs...
surprise surprise!
You know people sometimes have to fly sick as with your experience so don't despise those
in that terrible situation. I realize now what that feels like.
They should invent, unless they have, an antibacterial all over body spray that people can use
when they are sick and must be in a public place. Close your eyes spray all over, head to toe,
like a barrier to keep germs from getting to others. Comes with treated cloths to capture
a sneeze or cough as well. Proactive and education to stop the spread by those who are sick.
Now it is more trying to protect oneself from getting sick while those sick sneeze into their
sleeve. I was so sick I felt I was radiating illness

You know I wore one but I'm talking walking sick ...
I think you've seen people like that. I knew I spread germs even with a mask on.
We were on a flight... experimental some years ago where the flight attendants did comedy :?
it was very strange. Seeing those uniforms reminded me of that
It's strange to me they are still promoting so much drinking on planes then get pissed
when someone is drunk and belligerent. Patience is not often a virtue of someone
who has drank too much.
