Re: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh yeah, it is a plane... Morgawse_Sedai - 14/04/2004 06:21:13 PM

My first flight was at the tender age of one (minus a week) to Lesotho via Paris and Johannesburg.

The first flight I remember was to Kos, in Greece.
Cool. My first flight was just over 2 years ago....
The place I've flown to most is Edinburgh, once we found it had become cheaper to fly than take the train.
There's something inherently wrong about that...
I don't mind it. Watching the world go by keeps you occupied, at least, and allows you to turn your brain off. Always a good idea to turn your brain off when you don't need it, and save power for later, that's what I say!
LOL. I hadn't quite looked at it that way yet....
See Nebhead's reply above!
And also see my reply to that.....
Also, I once found myself WAAAAAY over the baggage allowance and had to pay about forty quid – and that was with the check-in lady being generous and fiddling the reported weight in my favour as much as she could!
*ouch* what were you carrying? Bricks?
Aisle. Always aisle. I was the one that booked our family holiday to Lesotho for this Christmas, so I put "Aisle" for myself and "No preference" for the rest of my family! Hee hee hee...
Oh,you're mean

Damn right! If money weren't a problem, I'd visit every country in the whole damn world! Apart from the ones where you can't walk down the street without getting shot at...

Australia. I'm sure we know someone out there that I could stay with...

Yep. Bloody idiots. I was flying with EasyJet (unlike my bag ) but they denied responsibility because their ground handling agent was a separate company subcontracted by them – this is the problem with everything being privatised: companies doing different parts of the same job don't bloody communicate with each other. Within a day they found out that my bag hadn't boarded the plane in Edinburgh and was still there – all good. Usually what they would do is put it on the next plane down. So, naturally, it flies down two whole days later . So now it's sitting there at Stansted, and the courier company that are meant to take it to my house won't deliver it because they're only allowed to do overnight deliveries if it's a medical emergency – this didn't stop GroundStar Baggage Handling telling me that it would be delivered overnight. This made a total of five days before I got my bag back – and I was only coming down for a five-day half term! I got the bag delivered back to my house two hours before I left for the airport to go back again! If we'd had to leave without it, I would have been so pissed off with them! This bag contained school pipe band kit worth £800 (~$1500) that I hadn't asked permission to take down with me (they'd given me permission at Christmas, so it still held in March, right? ) and books I needed for school.
You posted about that back then, didn't you? I remember that...
jmc [sic]. They're like EasyJet, only worse: they have the most disgusting lime-green colour scheme, they wake you up at four in the morning when you're blatantly asleep to ask if you'd like some breakfast, and they write their name in small letters.
Never heard of them. I'll make sure to avoid them
That was a fun survey – thank you!
Glad you liked it
Yours, Tim .
