    well, i know some US airlines already offer it, and some other airlines are considering, but Internet Access while in the air would be great.

    actually, i'd like that in economy as well as a premium cabin.

    I'd second that. Actually, I'd like internet access with QoS good enough (e.g., low latency) to carry high quality VoIP traffic.

    But I guess that's hoping for too much.

    The only thing i ever want from an airline is leg room on long haul, I am 5ft 9, and on a flight to new york nearly had my knees to my chest cos the inconsiderate git in front kept putting his seat back. The hostess asked him repeatedly to straighten his seat cos she could see I was uncomfortable and was ignored.
    I can put up with bad food, service, movies etc if I can have a liitle room to move
    I would have to say that the seats are designed to be reclined so it is unfair to complain when somebody wants to recline them (especially if the person in front of then has reclined theirs).

    Baggage allowance is being cut which is a problem if you are going away for longer periods of time.

    When you are done moaning remember that there are people who would love to have your standard of living!

    I would pay extra for a child free cabin I would also pay extra so an obese person couldnt sit next to me.

    Plus a travel pack containing a large G&T, 2 valium, eye mask and Bose noise cancelling headphones.

    No naked stewardesses but a plane full of naked passengers.

    actually, i'd hope they'd ban Voip etc, as i don't want people yattering on phones while i'm flying... having net access means that, just being able to surf the net..

    oooh... but if it had nice low latency, i'd be able to watch my slingbox... now, there is a thought, the future of in flight entertainment, slingbox style!

    Agreed :T I really think that if it is too uncomfortable for you to sit in a standard seat, then you need to pay extra, either for an exit seat, or a different class. It's not the fault of the person sitting in front of you that you can't fit in the seat! Especially if the person in front of them has reclined the seat onto them. If I was told not to recline my seat, I'd be asking for either myself or the other person to be moved......especially if it was a long flight! Imagine 24 hours to Australia without reclining, just because the person behind you didn't plan ahead and organise themselves an Exit seat!

    I'd like a little more room and more comfortable seats. Flying wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't immensely uncomfortable the whole way.

    You could also make the seats face the other direction so we're not all killed if the plane crashes.

    That'd be nice.

    I know I am going to get shot down for this but I would like aircraft you can smoke on. As a life long smoker but also a person that enjoys hoildays abroad I find that my willpower dies after 7 hours so with the hour or so in the departure lounge the Canaries are about as far as I can go. please do not say "Sleep" as the first thing I need when I wake up is a fag
