    I'll be turning left when I get on the plane for the very first time ever :eek:

    I don't know where left is. Do you mean America?

    I didn't mean that, but yes.

    I meant I'll not be heading to the cheap seats! Which will be a contrast to the last flight I took (family hol) where we had to pay extra for the meals (Norwegian Air to the US).

    Why do people eat on planes? Can't they wait, or take sandwiches? Seems bizarre to me as flights don't sound very long.

    Doozer, isn't chocolate toxic for dogs? Should you be thinking of vet? To add insult to injury! ;)

    Last flight was 7 or so hours, so yes we could have easily coped not eating. My parents had already brought their own picnic to the airport as they arrived way too early to check in (travelled by coach, so didn't want to cut it too fine if there were travel problems).

    I quite like plane food. It's not exactly the best food ever prepared, but there is something quite exciting about the little tray of chicken or beef.

    When we flew club on a BA 747 we got the downstairs seats which were to the right :mad: so not only no turn left but we also had the latecomer plebs from the back walking through our cabin :(
    I think....

    I know. He's eaten more than that in the past with no consequences. I'll keep an eye on him, but he's particularly good at vomiting that which he doesn't agree with.

    Shortest scheduled flight I've ever been on lasted a bit over 2 minutes.

    Longest non-stop was just over 15 hours.

    Ultra long haul flights involving a couple of hubs can mean 30 hours in transit with 26/27 of that on flights, with no more than 90 minutes on the ground changing planes.... No time to eat properly when transiting terminals at a big hub in less than 90 mins....
