  • Free drinks like the old days! Wider seats, smaller config ie 2 2 2 so you don't have to disturb other people when you need a wee!

    Will think on lots more..

    I've never been on a flight where you have to pay for any drinks. I don't think its the norm to have to pay.

    I think the coment relates to Charter and low cost airlines as opposed to your non budget scheduled airlines such as BA, Virgin, Emirates, KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, etc, etc, etc. :)

    All the low cost ones and increasingly the full service ones are making you pay for drinks.

    I would like to see them coming round more often offering the free drinks on long haul flights.

    I agree with the BMs who dislike the people in front reclining. When you (and they) are eating and they don't put it upright again it's just bad manners. My comeback is that my knees have as much right to that space as their seat and if my knees are there first then they'll have to go some to move them!

    No blankets - planes are almost always too warm for me.

    a water fountain and more toilets, a no alcohol/quiet deck for those who want to sleep in peace. Separate ladies and gents loos, so the ladies don't get wee'd on seats.:rolleyes:

    A self service cafe for when you want a sandwich/drink etc, rather than them coming round and feeding you when you just want to drop off to sleep.

    Wider seats up the middle of the plane for fat folk, narrower ones with more legroom for the tall and skinny. Takes up the same floorspace, so everyone's paying their way. If you're tall and fat then you get an exit row.:p

    No you should pay for either a premium seat or two economy. I am sick of having some fat person take half of my seat.
