OK, but the Colonies voted him in as President two years ago - he must appeal to some people, just not the losing Democrats! With tongue firmly in cheek before someone has a sense of irony failure!

Perhaps, in a spirit of compromise, one should insert the word "passenger service", to read "the longest passenger service flight". Otherwise Buzz Aldrin will be getting in on the act! But, thinking back to when I started flying - what a fantastic achievement for airframe, engine efficiency and sheer ball-aching human endurance!

Not in my section of the plane (just in front of camera)! Realistically, the width will meet regulations and will provide width for a service cart; have we any comparable metrics on the latest Boeing Max-cattle-truck? (with tongue firmly in cheek!)

Looks like a well-planned layout. Wow, spacious toilet facilities - that's a USP which will appeal to some pax! I recall the spacious 2/3 seating layout on the old (much-loved) spacious BAe 146/RJ airliners. Good luck to Airbus (Canada/Mobile) with their new north-American built airliner.

A lovely story, with an important message. There are downsides to cheap fares, so use a credit card (in the UK at least) and invest in travel insurance which includes that crucial phrase: "failure of carrier". Faced with extra unscheduled tome in a foreign place = treat is as a holiday - raising your blood pressure ain't worth the aggravation.

In August 2008, on a Palmair flight from Bournemouth to Rhodes, the cabin crew made an announcement asking no-one to open their packets of nuts because someone on board had a nut allergy; EVERYONE was happy to comply. And I am sure that a few hours without a particular alcoholic drink did not REALLY inconvenience anyone. We are a society - sometimes you need to make allowances for the weaker members of society. the alternative is to let Darwinian improvement of the species carry on.

As long as people queue up to buy the marginal services at the low prices, this sort of experience will continue; the race to the bottom continues. It is obviously a "winning" business model. If you pay crap prices, expect sometime to get crap service and services. You will gather that I do not use Ryanair. "You gets wot you pays for" Mie
