eek..


i always rode a 757 or 767 so my planes weren't that tiny. The seats do suck but it's the fact that on my way back from San Fran *where i had ZERO sleep from the party the night before* it was good to land about 30 mins earlier than expected.

bzzzzzt! im sorry, but thats the wrong answer! thankyou for playing.

that fact i disagree with you is completely irrelevant. i call you an idiot because your PDD posts are uninteresting, unintelligent, and not the least bit thought-provoking. there are plenty of people in there i disagree with that i would never call an idiot.

and to extend on that further, i'll just tell you about what it was like when i flew home from Greece...

the Alitalia flight from Italy to NY was fine, but i was crammed into a window seat and couldn't sleep, and i was runnin on like 3 hours of sleep from the night before. so whatever, the flight itself was great but i was still pretty frustrated...

once i get back to NY i still had another flight from NY to Chicago, and that one was on American Airlines.

so we board the plane, this tiny little thing with 2 seats together and then 1 seat across the aisle... probably like 20-30 seats total. it's hot as hell on the aircraft (this is in NY, in February... it shouldn't be hot) and the air smells and feels like it hasn't been circulated in like 5 days. the flight attendant was this trashy looking older lady who wobbled her fat ass up and down the aisle and had absolutely no professional conduct whatsoever... she sat there on the phone for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to "arrange" the passengers so that this fat redneck dude could sit next to his wife instead of in one of the single seats, which he couldn't fit his ass into, lol.

i just sat there with my head in my hands... my facial expression was probably resemblant to the emoticon in UWM's avatar.

now, anyone who has traveled to Europe knows that it's kind of a bummer to come back into the states... the culture shock was kind of rough for me and i started noticing and realizing things that i never paid attention to before. so coming back from an amazing vacation in Greece and having to sit on that plane was one of the worst flying experiences i've ever had... and on top of that, once we finally took off the entire plane was just rattling and making noises that sounded very abnormal. i was just dying to get back to Chicago and land safely and go home.



Damn.

dude i've been in some scary tiny lil planes... when i was a kid and i'd travel with my mom and brother, my mom would always look for the "bargain" flights; meaning shitty airlines, crappy planes, never a direct flight, etc... lol, it was bad. i remember having to take this one plane to Santa Barbara (i forget where we left from, somewhere in CA) and it was this tiny lil prop plane that seated like 12 people. riding through turbulents in those things is fucked up!

i was maybe 7 years old and i thought my life was over.

I've only flown American Airlines. I liked it, except they wouldn't let me take my dickpump as carry-on.

my brother has a pilots license and a couple of years ago we had a cousins wedding out in the country. Rather than drive down we decided to fly down, 3 of us (his wife) in a little Piper Chieftan (4 seats including the pilot). Was wicked fun. Had a bit of turbulence but wasn't too bad.

The bride and groom even came out the next day to see us off from the airfield, people continuously asking us about the flight down etc . The flight back was a bit average cos I was pretty hungover though

little planes rock.

yeah, it's kind of like America's "United". at least, both time i've flown w/ Lufthansa to Germany, they said they were partners w/ United or something like that.

sometimes it's really worth the extra cash just to travel non-stop.

i mean really.. the longest flight i had to deal with was going to Cali and it's long cuz ur going against the jet stream or w/e.. omg.. if we would have had to make a stop,that would have just killed it.


edit - TEAR - all this talk about Germany and stuff.. gosh i really need to save money to try and go next summer!

I MUSTTTTTTTTTTTT

I really had a great experience with easyjet in europe. Very nice service inside the plain, really relaxed employee's and very friendly.


Posted by Floorfiller on May-04-2006 04:03:

haven't read the whole thread, but frontier is shit in my experience. everytime i've flown with them i've had a huge layover...


Posted by CranberryJuice on May-04-2006 04:29:

i used northern to go to from london to denver ....i never heard about this compagny before and i was scared first when i heard this compagny had sometimes probs with delay .....but everything went good
but my favorite compagny is air france .....it maybe silly but im more reassured when i take long flights to hear the flight attendants and everyone speak to me in french .....otherwise im scared that they can say something important and just miss it out .....and usually when someone is speaking to me i have in the plane the biggest difficulty to speak english properly.....

Emirates - The best 10 ...airbusA340/Boeing 777/767

British Airways - 9 ...Boeing 747
KLM - 9 .. Boeing 767
Etihad- 8.5 ... Boeing 777
Gulf Air - 8 ... Boeing 777/Airbus A340
Thai Air - 7... Boeing 767
Biman - 7 ... DC-10

Airbus A340 terrible imo

American - +1
SouthWest - +3
Northwest - +5

finnair ftw, flown with them a couple of times and it was the smoothest airplaneride ever. ryanair is a big steaming pile of cheapness, they really suck but they are dirtcheap. aeroflot was quite the experience, especially when having the most retarded stewardess ever.


Posted by Clovis on May-04-2006 04:43:

I like how most people equate aircraft type with comfort/seating arrangements.

Its the airline who decides what type/how many/what layout for the cabin seating, aircraft type rarely matters.

Years ago I would have agreed with you on American, but lately I heard they weren't doing so good. When I went to Los Angeles in January, I flew on Song Airlines, which is part of Delta. Not bad at all.


I flew song from seattle to new york, then air france from new york to rome. I liked them both. By far the best two airlines I have flown with.


Posted by Floorfiller on May-04-2006 04:47:

come on now...we all know what really matters. which airline has the hottest stewardesses. what happen to the good ol' 50's with all the hot 18 year olds? now you fly it's either this gay dude or some 45 year old chick :/. i wanna fly in luxury damn it!


Posted by lightside on May-04-2006 04:48:

I have flown primarily with Continental and Southwest. But from what I can remember i've also flown Delta, KLM, Northwest, British Airways, and handful of others. Basically they all suck and I go with who has the best deal for the timeslots. airplanes suck for tall people


Posted by Trance Nutter on May-04-2006 05:18:

Is that Wolfmother?

I neve knw hey were really known in the US.

I don't like them.


Posted by Allied Nations on May-04-2006 05:25:

Emirates
KLM
Continental - I'm elite on there, free upgrades!
SOuthwest
Northwest
Go
Kingfisher
Lufthansa
Biman (THE WORST AIRLINE EVER)
Indian
LanEcuador Airlines
LanChile
LanPeru
Thai


I'm sure I've forgotten a couple, continental has been good to me though, I have a zillion points and get upgrades when there is availability, which is awesome.

Europe is amazing....especially Germany. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

side note: the 2nd time i went to germany, i found round-trip non-stop plane tickets from O'Hare to Munich for $600. i bought instantly. Orbitz is the shizzle!
