Cobblers Everywhere

How did you find them. I properly hate Quantas, the management team couldn’t run a bath.

Terrible seats in business, not lay flat, small portions for the food to boot.

The Icelandic Phallological Museum is also worth a visit. Where else can you see the world's largest collection of penises?

I have a few permutations for this running around in my head. I feel that it may upset a few people on here though.

So who do you rate as having the best business class?
For me it would be a toss up between Singapore and Emirates.

The prices there are weird. On the day we got there it was getting late and we hadn't eaten so we went into pretty much the first restaurant we saw. In keeping with the general oddness of the whole place, it had an English name (which escapes me at the moment) but was run by an Asian family and served Italian food! It was nice though and we had a bottle of wine with our meal. As we left I commented that I don't know what everyone moans about the prices for because what we'd paid was comparable to London prices.

So we went into the bar over the road and ordered a couple of cocktails. They came to more that the entire meal bill across the street!!

Souvenirs were insanely expensive, so the kids got nothing brought back for them. The only thing I bought while I was there was a book by the Icelandic cartoonist Hugleikur Dagsson, well worth a Google of you have a dark sense of humour...

I could talk about Iceland all day... do we need another thread for an Iceland love-in?

The wife's a big fan of Iceland, she's been on 3 separate occasions, (me just the once). Now I know they have a dick museum, I think I've discovered a reason why.

You only need to be concerned, if the souvenir shop sells towel racks.

The business class seats were large leather things, somewhat akin to the Captain's chair in Star trek, they swivelled and had a TV screen which stowed into the arm of the chair. They reclined, but certainly didn't lie flat, the food was excellent and we got free flow Champagne throughout the flight. There were no complaints from me.

I honestly think it’s BA, everyone kept telling me that Singapore was the best, massive seat width wise then your feet were squashed into a little box, very strange. Like Emirates but all that fake yellow wood 🤮

It was back in 2003 and all was good, the staff in business class were very keen on us all having freshly cracked black pepper with our meals

Probably mouse droppings.

I flew with a Thai airline “ Bangkok Air” I think, a flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok included a stop at a regional airport, we got a meal each time it took off, two lots of Phad Thai and desserts in a 3 hour journey.

I once flew first class Cathy Pacific from Hong Kong to Singapore in late 1996.
During the flight I watched the complete Euro 96 competition film on the personal screen, whilst being silver service fed, with accompanying champagne.
No complaints whatsoever.

I enjoy flying, as long as I get where I'm going with minimal fuss I'm happy, and I like an aisle seat as well

My first time flying was a parachute jump at Wansford in the eighties. A perfectly good little plane, and I jumped out of it!

I suppose that's one way to "take" London Road.

I did that as well. My first commercial flight was in a Britannia flying from Birmingham to Jersey.

Do you know, I reckon that might have been exactly the same for me.
