But they do not get in Concorde Room.

It is Concorde that is a small aircraft:

Concorde was designed for midgets, preferably midgets without any hand-luggage. There were surprisingly few complaints about the poor headroom and tiny seats because the overpaid employees whose tickets were being paid for by their companies didn’t want to lose face in front of the economy class tourists who had twice the room on a 747 for a tenth of the price.
A318 is huge:

even bigger than 747 cabin:

That’s funny because I’m 6 foot tall and I had no complaints. Plus I was not an entertainer or a high paid business man I bought my own ticket from my savings. Yes the seats were narrow but the legroom was fine and nobody complained because the service on board was superb so, as far as I am concerned, your remarks about midgets and rich people are a load of nonsense. By the way, did you ever fly on Concorde or was that beneath your dignity

nJayM, please tell me you’re kidding or next will you be telling us that “Red Clydeside” has held back GLA

To add fuel to the fire…

Quote from today’s Daily Telegraph “A disabled woman has successfully sued Ryanair after her husband had to carry her on to a plane using a fireman’s lift when the flight crew refused to help. Jo Heath,57, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchaie, was left on a runway at Luton Airport for half an hour after the special lift she had booked failed to arrive. The Ryanair crew refused to help her on to the plane after claiming it was unsafe for them to carry disabled passengers because they might “damage their backs”. Mrs Heath was left “humiliated” by the incident and sued Ryanair for £1,750 after Northampton county court ruled the budget airline has breached contract and broken disability discrimination laws”

So can we expect a new £2 levy to cover legal fees and fines?

Just by chance, saw it approaching GLA from my dining room window. Looks nice!

Did the release mention a cost if you were to bring on your own smokeless ciggies? I have seen them being sold in the US so I imagine they could be available in the UK. I don’t smoke and never fly Ryanair, I’m just curious.

Hi Irvine. I use Continental 3 times a year mainly because they have a year round service from Glasgow. I find them OK to fly with, the seating is average and the meals are generally fine. Your flight should have seatback inflight entertainment available. As for seating, that’s an individual preference as my wife and I tend to take aisle seats across from one another to facilitate our exit. The front of the economy cabin tends to be reserved for their frequent flyers. I also find Newark Liberty a good airport to fly into as their immigration desks are fairly well organised. Have a good trip and enjoy the “Big Apple”

EK 777’s are great I must say!

Have to agree. In two weeks time the good lady and I are off to Australia from GLA using the Emirates 777-300ER and, as it’s a “celebration” holiday , we are pushing the boat out and flying business class. Can’t wait

As I travel to the States 3 times a year I have joined Continental’s frequent flyer club. The fact that they had such a club was not instrumental in flying with them. Their awards programme was fairly good when I started a few years ago but now they have cut back on points given for certain fare classes and reduced the points given for booking on line from 1,000 to 500.
You also have to be careful and check your statements. They charged me $800 for upgrades for my wife and I which we did not get. I trust that this is being resolved as I write.
