    Thinly veiled "I'm on a transatlantic flight and you're not, nananana" thread.

    I would rather iron my nutsack whilst pouring sulphuric acid on my eyeballs than fly 11 hours.

    I am actually shocked at the price myself for the Wifi - Very reasonable

    Tickets for that route are fierce expensive.

    Work trip?

    You wanna keep it crispy while keeping the breast medium, I would suggest hitting it with about 250C for 20 mins then lowering for 180 for about 45 mins

    :eek:

    105 minutes to cook a duck breast? You planning on cooking big bird?

    Why aren't Aer Lingus marketing the **** out of this? Relatively cheap WiFi and power to keep you juiced. Would sway me if I was caught between two airlines, (unless of course they are all doing it)

    Personally prefer to put it skin side down on a hot dry pan to seal and crisp it and then transfer to the oven for 25 mins before resting for 25 mins (skin side up so that crispy goodness stays... crispy)

    9-10 hours, nice weather, sunny with some clouds beneath, food is included but i'm sure it'll be muck. Plane is about half full.

    If they tell you they have a stop off in Malaysia, then you can start to get worried
