Food portions would have to be tiny and, for true authenticity, practically inedible. :D

**WARNING- Controversial Repsonse**

I like flying, I have just done some quick totting up and reckon I have flown about 67 times in the last 5 or 6 years.

The food in Economy is generally suitable and adequate bearing in mind that it is being prepared and served at approx. 35,000 feet and 500mph. I have had some truly fantastic meals in Business and First.

The flight attendants are generally friendly and helpful; notable exceptions were an Air2000 flight to the Maldives about 4 years ago and Aeroflot to and from China.

Leg room in Economy isn’t that bad, I am an average 5ft 9, and the person in front reclining is only really a problem at meal times when the attendants generally ask people to sit upright anyway.

Sleeping, chatting, eating, reading, watching TV, playing games, walking around etc are pretty good for relieving any boredom.

Surely if you get wound up before a flight it is not going to be any good. If you try looking forward to them they go a lot quicker/easier.

It’s not really all that bad is it?

I'm sure 'beerboy' is a lot happier after reading all these positive posts...

Cheers.

I'm 5ft 10, hubbie is 6ft 2. Economy leg room can be a bit of a 'mare (but it depends who you fly with).

As for meals, the worst I remember was on Malaysian Airlines; being woken up at something like 4 am to be fed really, really hot curry (and I lurrrve curry, but that was a bit too full on!).

But that's generally the least of our problems, as I'm scared of flying and so Mr GG has to suffer having his hand gripped tightly for most of the flight.

Arrrgggh! All worried again now thinking about flying. Off for a lie down somewhere dark.

Hi Beerboy,
Get your parents to look at singapore airlines, they have tv in every seat with stacks of games you can play so if your a nintendo or playstation lad you will be fine. :D
