RE: My experience with Air France.

Very interesting report. I like a bit of huomour in these things, it makes them incredibly interesting.

There are many things which these days are standard on commercial flights (wouldn’t you agree?) e.g. crap food, limited leg-room in economy and rude cabin crew. Of course, there are some exceptions, but if I don’t like something, I make it clear, even if I am only 16 years old.

If the cabin crew cannot cope with the unsociable hours in which their job entails, they should work in a shop where they can work 5 days a week from 0900-1800 or something and that should cheer them up!

RE: Favorite weekend activity (keep it clean!)

I am in school five days a week and have no full days. On a Thursday, I’m done by 10:25am and can go home.

I work on a Saturday and Sunday and have to get up at about 6:45hrs and trot to the train station where I travel the 6 or 7 miles into Reading (the town centre). I don’t have a proper finishing time, it changes so often.

Sunday I’m out the house by 09:15hrs and get the train again and stay at work until 18:00hrs.

RE: ill

poor old me sat on a 10 hour flight and then got on a cruise ship for a week. i never become sick on aircraft but sailing almost killed me.

my top tip is when you’re on a boat, simply go as far down as possible as there is not as much motion. if the boat rocks from side to side, it does so from the bottom which will not be quite as bad as the main decks up the top of the boat.

RE: QUIZ!!

Very very hard… to hard for me to attempt. If anyone wants a copy of my quiz by email, post your email address below and I’ll send you one. I’ve sent one to KabirT, Benair316P and andrewm. Anyone scores more than about 2 out of 10 and there’s something special up for grabs!

By doing it by email, nobody can see what others have put for something and it gets more accurate results.

RE: Airbus A319

We too had no entertainment but for short haul there is really no need. Just as you get settled with a good programme, it’s usually time for landing. Mine was just 1h 45mins and I could only just accept having to watch a map on very sparsely distributed TV screens.

I personally think that using an A319 for a four a half hour flight is ridiculous. That should be a medium haul flight because calling it short haul is stupid.

Is the route usually operated by an A319?
