ReplyDeletesounds good. Though some finer details might be missing here.
ReplyDeleteSounds super good. You sure have a way with making people jealous!
ReplyDelete@LoM: i asked several ppl if they wanted to come along, but no 1 did. anywe, i didnt miss the company :)
ReplyDelete@TDV: nothing is missing here. really.
@priti: i prefer ppl when they look green :)
I prefer my banknotes to look green...but anyway.
ReplyDeleteSo how was the A380 experience?
@Daddy-san: No experience to speak of, really. I guess economy feels the same on any aircraft. It's supposed to be a quieter and smoother flying plane, but I couldn't really tell.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I remember is the impact on landing. You could feel the 'unstoppable force meeting an immovable object', and it wasn't for the weak-hearted. But I dunno for sure if that was the aircraft, or just a lethargic pilot combined with a lousy seat at the back.
