effing Charter Flights
« on: November 18, 2007, 10:24:29 PM »
I am just about recovered from this one... I think. Just in case there's any doubt it's an Airbus A330, registration X-ray Alpha and operated by Thomas Cook. Eight hours of slow, torturing discomfort marginally eased by sympathetic trolley dollies handing out free drinks and complaint forms!

The bucket seats would be better employed serving Col. Sanders Kentucky delights and as for the entertainment... where's that 11 year old nephew when you need him to work out the keypad on the screen 6" from your face. evil:

I estimate by touchdown there were something in the region of 200 complaint forms being licked and sealed and ready for posting.

A piss poor ending to a terrific gig... at least I get paid for enduring these shennanigans.  ::)

More to come, obviously...  confused:

Fly Sleazy Jet ~ they never disappoint as your expectations of them are very low to start with.  ;)

we flew Thomas Cook to Canada earlier this year and I must admit the food was excellent, the trolly dollies very friendly and helpfull and they even had a decent film on.

Have you noticed that EasyJet air hostesses have to paint their faces in the corporate colour? Well the Scally ones do anyway.

The Corporate Slap would seem to be de rigueur down here too  ;)

A couple of the ones on my flight needed their roots "doing"... I think that's the term  confused:
