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)

i booked it because of the wifi - i usually fly other carriers.

I should also get bumped to 1st class because of me doing their job for them.

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)

How long left til you land? What's the weather like up there? Is the plane full?
Is the food included?

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.

You'll land safely OP, I guarantee it

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

OP, if a plane is flying west at 540mph and another plane is flying east at 500mph, what's red and invisible?

That's me, it smells of food in the cabin now.

kwestfan08 · 23-04-2014 1:56pm

Have you prepared yourself for the jet lag?

Banjo String · 23-04-2014 1:57pm

Do you wipe front-back or back-front after pooing?

the_monkey · 23-04-2014 1:58pm

I hope you have good entertainment - or maybe not cos you're on here

I remember fying BA from LA - London last year , nice sized screens and a whole catalog of films - like so much choice , pretty much every mainstream film from 1970 onwards you could watch ...

fantastic.

Are you aware that this is not Reddit?

Cosmo Kramer · 23-04-2014 2:00pm

Is the Aer Lingus plane food as bad as ever?

Are the EI cabin crew more interested in hiding in the galley discussing their plans while in San Francisco than they are actually serving their passengers?

jester77 · 23-04-2014 2:01pm

Turn on your GPS and keep posting us your coordinates every few mins, planes tend to go missing these days.

miju · 23-04-2014 2:06pm

Start muttering loudly "red wire or blue wire, red wire or blue wire" film the results for us poor bumpkins stuck in work all day

Remember to raise your legs just before landing.
Nothing worse than the chairs breaking your ankles in a crash leaving you unable to walk away from the flames.

Seem pretty attentive so far, I chose the tikka, there was some weird sugary cinnamon crap on the salad and the tika itself was pretty bad, but i've had much much worse. Luckily i got a smoked salmon bagel from wrights in the airport.

My god the attachment is taking forever to upload! - had to scale it down from 4.2mb

if you're not out of a crashed plane within 60 seconds you're toast. I read that somewhere.

Emirates are the best, I always try and fly with them when heading to Asia. The only negative is that their screens on A380 are too bright at the dimmest setting after the lights go out after dinner.

One of my favourite bars, Mikkeller, are after opening in SF at 34 Mason St. Worth checking out if you have the time.
