Pay-as-you-weigh airfares the 'next step'
by southindian Wed Apr 03, 2013 8:35 am
This was long awaited and expected for airlines fares. The new rule needs to implement by all airlines across the world as weight makes airplanes work.

An industry that charges passengers for luggage weight also need to weigh passengers.

I used to enjoy flying, now I almost dread it!
But, this seems kind of exciting and adventurous and want to try it..and for people with acrophobia..it has to be scary and head-spinning!

some 1st class cabins make flying a completely different experience. my wife suggested the other day (after seeing these pics.) that we should just fly around and come back instead of vacationing at any destination.

Great pics HK!
From what Mrs. HK says..you must be wonderful company:)
Have not traveled by any of the Middle Eastern Airlines! Have heard good things about them.
The First class and Economy travel..are quite different for sure..esp. the treatment from Flight attendants! *But, the company is often nicer and feels homely in the Economy class..as you can imagine, I'll talk to anyone and everyone and if the friendliness is reciprocated, will continue or keep my distance..I can write a book about airplane travel experiences from childhood to now..how things have changed, but, beneath all the masks, people are still the same, once you talk to them..they always surprise me with how much they want to talk to a stranger..whether they are young or old:)
Hope you are doing well. take care.

o teri! i was wondering how it was possible with the luggage cabins below and that the view through the solid glass must surely be prismatic but i thought they must have circumvented all this with some clever engineering.southindian wrote:Maria S wrote:I thought that someone would have got the joke by now:)

What interests me most is when will the airlines allow Standing Passengers and better - foot-board flying?

You want to try HK? Are you sure you can keep up with me? Got to work very, very hard to beat me at the- "Common Courtesy and Etiquette championships"
Seriously, if someone does not mean something..it's better not to say it, I don't and won't.
It is good to know that you are doing good.
