Anybody flying anywhere soon?

IIRC, Most airlines only offer the opportunity of one takeoff and one landing per flight

If you flew from Madeira back to England on an extremely windy day when they still had a short runway at Funchal, you would need to land at Fuerteventura to refuel. It is an understatement to say that was an interesting flight.

I can fly from Luton. I'd only just do it for the day. Save in advanced look for the cheapest and make a day out of it.

Some times i just want to jump on a plane from London to Newcastle and back just for the thrill.

Yes, Newcastle's like that

What about the in-flight entertainment? Do you speak to the Air Hostess?

I ask if I can help lower the flaps

Did she kick you in the undercarriage?

That's no yoke

Well one takeoff, but depending on the pilot you might get two or even three landings in quick succession.

I bet there is a surcharge!

I'm gonna fly somewhere hot now.

I'm going to jump off the last three steps into the garden. If I feel reckless when I get outside, I'm going off the fourth step to enjoy the flight for longer.

I think I'm becoming a bit jaded with flying. This is the view from my office recently.....

I've lost count of the number of flights I've been on (around 150?).
90% really good. 9% bit dodgy. 1% friggin' horrific and scared the Bejeezus out of me!
Don't enjoy flying at all anymore because of that 1%. I think that was my Dennis Bergkamp moment. More of a necessity than a treat .

I'm off to Turkey on Thursday. Can't wait

On a more light hearted note, I suppose air travel will always have it's ups and downs .

*Wonders why it is called the Avro RJ85 and not the BAe 146*

 

[Cheddar George]

In response to the OP yes i am, but not on one of them.

On my next flight, I will ask the pilot if I can see his cockpit.

I would like to see his joystick.
