Therapist Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Right, I'm off to Asia today. The in-flight entertainment, apart from the food and bevvy, is rotten (even in Club World ) so I've just grabbed four Laurel & Hardy dvds to keep me amused. This got me thinking, if you had to pick one DVD for a flight what would it be and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap, had the same on a flight back from Florida years ago, battered about stupid with turbulence, no food or drinks could be served as the seatbelt sign did not go off for the duration of the flight and the first film we got to watch was Twister.

This got me thinking, if you had to pick one DVD for a flight what would it be and why? Club World is class. I've only had one experience of it - when returning from doing some research in Ann Arbor, Michigan a while back. Beforehand, I'd had no idea at all that flying could actually be enjoyable, and the food even half decent! What most intrigued me, though, was the way the cabin crew seemed to be treating me as though I was somebody, and clearly assumed I must be rich: even though I'd simply got to the airport early and been handed a free upgrade! A fascinating insight into how the other half lives. As for a DVD - hmm... 2001: A Space Odyssey - because it's long, therapeutic, and I adore the soundtrack.

Therapist Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Shaun. if it was "a while back" you probably got the cradle seats. It's much better now with the lie-flat beds. Perfect for when the post-meal port kicks in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 And a safer place to crack one off I get one of the cabin crew girls to do that for me. That's service. I should point out that they don't have private cabins like they do in Singapore Airlines A380 first class, so I have to wait until everyone's sleeping. Still, anticipation is part of the fun.... Shaun, re my carbon footprint, I'd love Scotland to be warmer so couldn't give a toss*. * No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
