The business section is nicer than my apartment. Obviously it will cost about 10 gazillion pounds per trip, and so I won't ever get the chance, but I live in hope.

Yeah been following this monster for some time now, bet its a great journey, just a matter of time before one comes down too, ouch just got into depression mode.

Bet the Air Crash Investigation program on Discovery would be interesting, anyone see that program i find it fascinating, just the smallest of things can bring a plane down, someone not screwing a bolt on properly things like that, utterly brilliant program.

Yes, some of the reconstructions, in the first half of the show, are incredibly dramatic/moving. Very occasionally wonder how much supposition is used but they do seem to do a fantastic job at determining the cause and preventing it from reoccurring. (the investigators that is, not the program)

Re: (Booked your flight yet) A380 superjumbo jet

NOOoooo....You seem to be treating flying as some kind of enjoyable pursuit!!! Don't risk it; only if you have to and then and only then try alcohol and/or valium. And remember - "lets be careful out there". Can you trust the pilot?? see this.....

I hate flying, love the take off and sense of speed, love the landing but hate the cruising bit, all i think about when im flying the whole journey is the program i love, Air Crash Investigation, i cant relax or sleep the whole time.

With you on the "I hate flying" comment - those planes are impressive but the thought of it in the air - makes me shudder -I obny ever fly if I absolutely have too. Thakfully I have an understanding GP (OMG God Bless U Sir). Ahhh..... valium now that is the only way to fly!

He will passively, motionless, just enjoying the chaos that ensues around.

Can you imagine what it would be like with the A380 in place of that A321?

Yep - that's what I'm talkin' about. Totally scarey so don't do it or make sure ur out of it!! Plus its good for Carbon emmissions or something if you cut the flights down - although I suspect there may have been quite a lot of additional methane gas going through the plane at the time!
