Who said anything about a fear of flying? Though it is the most miserable and
unpleasent way to travel long distance this side of a NEx bus.

by asserting that flying is a bad idea for everyone. That way, they
don't feel they're losing out so much.


Its a bad idea for the enviroment.

Sure, and if you weren't afraid of flying, you'd be doing it anyway, just
as you show off about always having gas guzzling cars.

Oh dear. Is this really the best you can do? I guess because I'm not a great
fan of the M25 I'm afraid of cars too, right?

Some of us happen to disagree. I personally quite enjoy it.

People I've met with this fear sometimes developed it after a bad flight,
while others are just afraid of not being in control when the plane
manoeuvres in the sky. When they do fly, they avoid window seats (I love
them) and some also have a fear of heights.


Exit row window is my preference (exit row for the legroom, window for
looking out!)

For tomorrow's flight to Milan I have 11A - spot on. BA from T5 as
well, should be nice and civilised.

Yes, I really like T5 and BA. Enjoy your flight!

Indeed, T5 has taken Heathrow off my avoid list. I hope the new
terminal is as good, I hear plenty to suggest it is. So just T4 to
avoid now.

Cheers.

Yes, T4 is really awful now, much worse than when it was BA's main
terminal. Finding the right executive lounge is hard, too.

I flew Sri Lankan earlier this year, and they don't have their own
lounge, but share the Gulf Air lounge. Needless to say, the breakfast
on offer missed out some of the usual components, and though booze was
available, you couldn't help yourself.

Blimey, you've changed your tune pretty radically! Not so long ago you
seemed to consider Heathrow as one of the gates of hell.
