Emirates to jam them in !

[Fireman Sam 336]

I used to avoid their 777's because of the ten across in economy.

 

 

 

I used to quite like travelling on Emirates A380's, even in economy especially when you could book seat 68 A, K or 81 A, K which gave unlimited leg room and direct access. But they are now thinking of fitting out their A380's with 11 across in economy, not travelled with them for a few now, very very unlikely I would touch them if they go ahead with this.

Thanks for posting that.

The dreaded in-the-middle of a row of 5 ..... did that once, Frankfurt to BKK and it changed me forever!

It likely will go ahead, passengers look for price.

Imagine, 630 passengers..........

Rather than pay the Business price………. I've convinced myself that I enjoy eating my dinner with my knees on my chest in stowage!! After all, I reason it will buy me a lot of ST's.

However, each time I fly I employ a cunning plan…..that more often than not…... actually works.

 

I always travel non-peak and mid-week. I ask at 'check in' if the flight is full.

 

If the flight is 2/3 or 3/4 full, (as was the case last week with BA), I wait in the departure lounge until I'm about the last to board. There's usually another couple of, 'Cheap Charlie Cunning Fuckers' with the same plan. We ignore each other while at the same time recognising each other's MOD. It's important to board just in front of these buggars or they will get first pick.

 

Being just 'about' last……..I stride purposely down my aisle, and trusting in my strategy I pass my allotted seat and walk through to the back. (Flights tend to lump you all together for the stewardesses convenience and the rear of the plan will have spaces). Finding an empty row of 3 I dump myself in the middle. The middle seat claims for you as strongly as any German beach towel that these three seat are your territory and any other Cheap Charlie Cunning Fucker can…….Foxtrot Oscar!

 

I stay in this seat for about 45 mins to put off being joined by any of the other passengers who under the ruse of going for a piss are actually scouting for a better spot.

 

After that I lift up the arm rests collect all the pillows and lay back thinking of all those 'free' BBBJ's….ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

I am probably your nightmare then as my friend and I travel together and being quite broad shouldered myself I try and get a seat away from him. The one you describe is the one I usually go for ! ha I will sit on the isle one so that I can have my share of the four seats with you !

Hmmm…….Dark….Broad shoulders…..Irish accent…….travelling with a mate. I'll keep a look out! You'll spot me straight away. I look like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders.

That would be the enlarged cranium required to house the massive brain???

It was a reference to my board name…………..But I like your explanation much better.
