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

    The last flight i was on we were at the back and it meant the seat didn't recline, was v annoying esp as the person infront of me had their seat back the whole time, even when we were eating. I always feel bad reclining my seat.
    Anyway...I like the idea of having a self service bar (think it in qantas that is advertising this in economy), more choice of meals, having a blanket and pillow (on my last flight they didn't have enough for everybody and it was absolutely freezing! Of course i'm sure that everyone will agree more space and comfort would never go amiss!
    Last year when I flew with Qatar Airlines I felt I had everything i need...staff were friendly, nothing was too much trouble, food was good etc.

    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

    I agree. I don't smoke, but I must admit that I feel that those who choose to smoke are having their freedom to do so increasingly limited.

    Still, reality is that smoking on an aeroplane is probably never going to be re-introduced.

    Sri Lankan and Emirates to name but two have forward and downward cameras on the aircraft that you can watch during the flight (NB: those of a nervous disposition should not watch the foward camera whilst landing in Male :rotfl:)
    And some Finnair flights....

    just because the person behind you didn't plan ahead and organise themselves an Exit seat

    Cool - a plane with 200 exit seats so we can all get one and have more leg room. what a stupid statement.

    I'd just like to get there quicker, then we wouldn't need to be entertained or need loads of room.

    It's no good making it more comfortable, try quicker! It's a shame technology has made things bigger not quicker :(

    So here we are trying to make it more bearable. So I guess more leg room would be my option too. Better washroom facilities please.

    Been covered a bit but NON reclining seats would be right up there. Why someone feels the need to invade my few inches of leg room to tilt back a few degrees is beyond me, just purely selfish in my opinion. I have had people recline then spend most of the flight sitting forward to look out of the window or wandering about chatting to their friends, why ?

    As money is no object we can all get more legroom now in the form of ba first class or Singapore suites. Is there anything you would want currently not covered by any class of any airline?
