Surely given the amount of time you spend in the minima you are used to cramped seating & no leg room old boy whistle:
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Cyprus Airways are normally quite good (although I'm sure they've squeezed a few extra rows in this year) but there just isn't room to recline your seat... It isn't a done thing IMHO.  noooo:

I just don't see the point in it...the seats are so uncomfortable it doesn't make a blind bit of difference if it goes back an extra inch or two....

Planes need to introduce the tranquiliser option - I would quite happily pay extra for that.
Get me on a plane , put me to sleep , wake me up when it's time to get off.  No stress, no boredom, no irratating other passengers, no obbessive map watching or picking inedible food apart  noooo: noooo: noooo: noooo:

Booze... that's what you need...  ;)

Talking of booze I met a friend in departures at Terminal 1 so we decided to go for a drink like...

Walked into the faux pub place and the 'barman' walked down to the far end of the bar and shouted 'can I help you?'  rubschin:

Us: we'd like to order a drink
Oik: well come down here then  eeek:
Us: no, you come down here
Oik: but my till is up here
Us: well you'll have a bit of a walk to it after taking our order down here won't you?
Oik: (reluctantly walks down bar and faces us) what would you like
Barman: A pint of London Pride please (last chance before leaving the country - a sign outside the 'pub' says so quite clearly)
Oik: Pulls pint of bizarre opaque liquid
Barman: (stares at opaque liquid, sniffs and rejects) this is undrinkable
Oik: (blank look)
Barman: Undrinkable, off, bad, ghastly, tastes wrong, ugh, etc.
Oik: London Pride always tastes like that
Barman: No it bloody doesn't, it doesn't look like that (points at glass) either
Oik: do you want something else then?
Barman: of course I want something else, it is undrinkable!

At this point another customer brings a half finished pint of the opaque liquid to the bar and says "he's right, I can't drink this"  lol:

Oik: (to Oik #2) don't serve any more Pride -the customers are complaining...

What a farce...  noooo:

I agree. Mind you one of the times I flew a bloke was so large that he had to recline his seat or he physically couldn't get in.  eeek:

They shouldn't let him fly IMHO...  noooo:

How would he get out in the event of an accident - more importantly how would those stuck behind him get out...?

And what about the kids? the screaming kids, the kids who kick the back of your seat for four and half hours, the kids who want to pee every two minutes, the kids who throw up everywhere, the kids that argue with each other, then there are other peoples kids aswell. Then there are the parents screaming at the kids

But then how would they push in front of the queue when boarding   evil: evil: evil:.... unless they are babies or toddlers i.e under 3 years of age ( when perhaps I might be a little bit more sympathethic - I said perhaps  whistle: ) they should form an orderly queue along with the rest of us.

Just because you have a child does not make you special or your cargo any more precious  evil:
