Do You Fly First Class Or Steerage To The LOS?

[PigDogg]

I fly economy but do my best to secure bulkheads or empty seats next to me.

Don't get stuck in the dreaded middle seat.

Business - but it's only a 6hr job

As I'm one of the proles who has to pay for their own flights and does not get to write it off to tax or company expenses I fly cattle class.

Scottish nationality, but working in the Persian Gulf - similar situation to mine.

I fly economy as well - in the Airbus 330 and 340 series you are no more than 1 seat away from the aisle, so the middle seat syndrome is not quite as bad as other seat configurations, like you see with the 747, 777, and 767.

If you are short around 163 cm, then your leg room is usually ok. Equip yourself with ear plugs, sleep mask and neck pillow makes for a reasonably good flight.

Business Class.
Those crafty devils on China Airlines gave me a free upgrade from Economy to Biz (Dynasty Class) ten years ago on the outward journey. After retuning home back in economy decided that from that moment on, I shall always turn left when entering the aircraft and pay twice as much for my airfare

On the way out, I always have a real good try at getting my moneys worth with the great Champagne and brandy, as a consequence I am usually drunk on arrival

I fly from the east coast of USA, 24 hour flight at least
so use EVA business class, when flush, other times will get their elite ticket and use the miles for the business class upgrade, still very much like the agony in the garden , I've never been a good traveller.

Do You Mind

Champagne Lout, if you please

[pampamsam]

I used to be like you Pentire, even as high as paying for business and getting upgrades to first...until.

Until, that is, my ex-thai gf turned me on to xanax. Nothing bothers me now. Also if you have wine with your meal its a great combination.

[katoeylover]

Business for me too...

once you've had it - its hard to turn right at the door!!

In actual fact, have had 3 freeby business flights this year alone with Qatar, just by using them on my long haul trips

Sounds very familiar!

I suffer from kidney stones and get a letter from my doctor.

About every 4th trip i am fortuante to be bumped up to business class. If not i always get a good seat with leg room.

Quite correct mate... but Arabian Gulf if you please. Don't want to upset my locals *ahem*

Slightly off-topic, but where in the sandpit are you?
