The travel thread

RyanAir sound like rip off cunts. I reckon it'll probably be cheaper still for me to use them. Even with an extra £12 added onto the price still considerably cheaper than everyone else.

15kg for baggage weight means nothing to me, I don't know if that's reasonable or not.

You better take lots of cash to the airport. You don't want to use a card, as they charge you for that as well :)
 
I just want the cheapest flight possible. I'm only going to Rome, it's not exactly far.

We flew with JetStar the budget airline from Oz to Indonesia and the flight was better than half the British Airway flights I've flown. The seats were massive and comfy and had loads of room.

On the BA flight home from Singapore to London it was a tiny plane with no room and with no proper entertainment system. Usually you can choose a movie, TV program or music and watch it when you like. On this one it was just ten channels with a continious repeated loop of programs, so you'ld turn the channel on and need to watch from wherever the program was. You couldn't dictate when you wanted to watch it and all the programs were shite. Ancient friends and other shit American sitcom episodes. No new, decent films either. It was a joke!

I reckon it was Karma paying us back for getting a £6k upgrade for free on the way there. :D

Hahah, you got to choose which types of planes are flying which routes at which times. It is a bit of a pain in the arse, but it can pay dividends. For example, when i fly back from the middle east and i'm paying myself (ie in economy) i always do the overnight flight from Doha to Gatwick with Qatar Airways as it's always less than half full and loads of room to stretch out. Some of the routes always have old planes on them too, which means shit entertainment.

BA are very hit and miss, especially on short haul. However you can usually upgrade to business from Gatwick on short-haul for £59, and then get very pissed in the lounge on free champers. Bitch is you can't go anywhere for a smoke :X
 
The difference between economy and club class is just out of this world. If I had money I'd pay it no bother. It really is luxury. The food they served was out of this world and the comfort and service was excellent.

It was actually a fairly enjoyable 12hrs. 8o

Business is brilliant. I'm pretty lucky in that i get to travel business on a lot of trips. Qatar is my favourite, closely followed by Cathay Pacific. I used to use Silverjet a lot before they went bust as well.

I can easy sleep 6 plus hours on the lie flat beds in business, but half the time you want to sacrifice sleep to glug the fine wines and eat the top food!
 
bah. the only time i ever got business class was on 1.5 hour long flights to stavanger, and there was no perceptible difference except i was 'in front of the curtain'.

and when i flew to houston for work there were budgetary restrictions so i had to fly in cattle with the rest of the plebs for 10 fucking hours. there wasn't even a power socket for my laptop. cunts. thank god the drink was free. ;)**

** until i took a domestic flight from houston to new orleans, where i was charged for a budweiser. i didn't have any USD so i got it for free. :p
 
What's better business or club or are they the essentially the same?

We had the seats that turned into beds as well, and the seats were in like little booths instead of rows with screens n shit so you didn't have to look at anyone else, plus loads of champagne before the flight even took off, quality 3 course meal chosen from a menu with proper plates and cutlery and a bar serving drinks and snacks should you wish to use it. Was bliss!

I still didn't sleep well but I don't even when in my bed.

On way back from Singapore I tried to sleep with my head on the table. Nae fucking chance. :|
 
i can't even imagine how cool that would be. i hate walking past those seats when you're leaving the plane, it fills me with hatred! cunts. :X :D

i'm not sure what's best, or if they're different from first.
 
We were flying with Quantas while in Oz, we flew Sydney to Cairns and had to pay for all drinks yet on the way back from Cairns to Sydney they were free. How random is that. I'm sure the air hostesses were on the take as the boy sitting next to me went to pay for a drink and was a dollar or two short and they just let him off with it. Maybe it didn't matter as they were pocketing all the cash anyway. :D
 
Business = Club.

First is even better......on Emirates you basically get your own little cabin.
 
I can only imagine first. Must be excellent.

Club class was full of snotty nosed cunts, all dressed like twats, here was me all casual as fuck getting strange looks. You could tell everyone was thinking what's he doing in club class. Ha! :D
 
Haha, i always make sure i change from a suit into shorts and big white trainers when i'm flying business.... you get plenty of filthy looks. But the stewardess' always seem more helpful than if you are wearing a suit. Then again, the amount of time I've seen people in business class be amazingly rude to the staff is pretty annoying, and it's always wankers in suits.
 
I saw a guy going into first class who was very poorly dressed and scruffy as fuck. Just goes to show having money doesn't mean you dress well or care. I think if I had the cash for first class I'd happily go on in shorts, t-shirt, flip flops, shades, hat etc not only because I'd be comfy but I'm pretty sure it'd piss off the rest of the rich cunts. :)

But you'd be a rich cunt too. :)

I'm the same. And when i'm flying in business, I like to look down my nose at the common people traipsing through to ecomony, usually whilst swigging my champers. ;) I'm very fickle.
 
Yeah but I wouldn't be like all those rice cunts.
If I was rich I wouldn't start drinking champagne, eating cavier and wearing suits or any of that bollocks.

I'd continue liking the same things and I'd travel more. I wouldn't buy silly priced watches, flash cars or anything.

Why bother being rich then?
 
It'd give me more opportunities to experience and see all these wonderful things in the world without needing to save. Could go where I wanted, when I wanted.

If I was rich I'd buy myself a nice flat in Edinburgh and maybe a villa in some far flung exotic destination but aside from that there's not much more I'd want. Not into cars and can't drive. Don't like jewelery / watches. Don't like expensive clothes / suits. Not arsed about massive TVs and loads of daft gadgets / technology though I would buy a decent laptop and camera.

So I'd have my laptop, camera and I'd go travelling / on holiday lots. That'd do me. :)
 
If youy do get rich then, can i have what you don't need to buy flash suits, a Patek Phillipe and a Ferrari 250 GTO.
 
If you like.

I dislike suits. I hope I never have to wear one. No idea what a Patak Phillipe is and a Ferarri would do nothing for me.
