Marty,

He was very biased in the book. Still, there were things in it that made it worth reading.

Michaelhenry,

At 7 in the morning with a full day’s work ahead of me I was not interested in the drinks!

Yet to meet anyone that has enjoyed the mother of all long haul flights, Europe to Australia. Mainly why I don't head back there much, you haven't flown until you've gone through that experience and the inevitable jetlag when you finally do reach the destination.

Never on that flight before- was there any drinks on the go

I would fly a few times a year with Flybe on a turbo prop love them Anthony, mind you my advice to flyers is ,always sit at the back,you never hear of a plane reversing into a mountain, as for fisherman Marty he was lucky that time, we only have to be lucky once!
