Advantages: Does what it says Disadvantages: Don't use near children or animals
Once upon a time there were ionisers. They pump negative ions into your room, which is normally full of too many positive ions. Positive ions make the air heavy and impure, while negative ions make it light and fresh. The trouble was, that when the positive ions were driven out by the negative, they came to rest around your ioniser in a black heavy sludge, that was unsightly and difficult to clean.
Then, Eureka! The fresh air globe, which is basically an ioniser surrounded by water, so that when the black sludge falls out of the air it falls ino the water and you do not see it.
The fresh air globe does everything it says on the box. It purifies and humidifies the air and gets rid of smells. But it is not designed for humans to use. It comes in three bits with fiddly little wires, meaning it is difficult to move around the room ...
Advantages: clean, comfortable, good service Disadvantages: No direct flights out to Asia
I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east.

THE COMPANY and THE PLANE
Air Southwest is a small airline based in Plymouth and Newquay and operates between 12 destinations all over the UK and Ireland. During the winter they have also been flying to Grenoble for the skiers in the region. They fly Bombardier dash 8 Q300 aircraft - this translates as a prop plane with 50 seats on board with the same seat layout as you would find on most coaches - two on the left and two on the right. For your convenience there is a lavatory and washroom at the front of the cabin.
THE JOURNEY
I flew from Plymouth to London Gatwick, travelling out on Saturday morning and returning the Same ...
