Girls I don't mind you nicking the thread!!! Just add a little bit more fun Engineers at Stanstead have been testing the aircraft with the wooden shed on the left rear and have found the aircraft leans to the left to correct this they are installing a Drinks, Curry and Pizza bar on the right side, to see if it will balance the plane.

Hello Stella - I've been to NZ twice (with a stopover in LA that DOESN'T allow smoking in the transit lounge) 27 hours in total and I can honestly say that It didn't bother me at all - and that was without patches or gum. I think when you are in an environment where no-one is smoking it's a lot easier. AND I'm not exactly fond of flying. Sorry James - I've nicked your thread. Mags xx

The first trials suggest that it will be rather draughty but that the view is outstanding, All Airlines who take up the modification will require indeminty against holes being burnt in clothing.
