Airbus A320 for you anoraks. Flew from Norwich (perfect). Two hours and fifty minutes. Food was good. Flight attendants lovely. First landing was perfect. Second landing at Norwich was a bit brutal (I think the pilot had just woken up and realised he was 3 cms from the ground). When we left Monastir a thunderstorm was beginning so a bit of turbulence.
Oh and just before the doors closed the immortal words of the captain 'Ladies and Gentlemen there will be a slight delay as we have a technical fault - the engineer will be along shortly'. Why do they have to say that...why not just say 'there is a slight delay due to a change in takeoff timings'? One poor woman who looked in need of intravenous valium looked as though she was going to leave the aircraft.
Turned out the technical fault was the toilet wouldn't suck - nasty captain!
I love reading the safety manuals - did you know the reason why they ask you to go into the brace position if there is an emergency with your face tucked down - so they can identify you more easily than if you are sitting up!
