Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
...I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities.
The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front.
It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including:
* mobile phone pocket
* 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc)
* key holder
* A4 sized inside pocket
* pen holders
* other storage pockets
It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock.
For me the bag is excellent, as it forces me to become more...

Advantages: Snazzy uniforms of the staff Disadvantages: Lots of disinterested staff, the food, lack of entertainment
...a small bag of pretzels. There was also a tea/coffee service and a duty free trolley that went speeding through the cabin.
The staff: They are a mixture. The cabin crew are a mixed bunch, generally foreign crew, especially from Ireland. On my flight home they were lovely to me as I was ex cabin crew but I found them to be lacking in warmth and not particularly interested in their roles to other passengers. Interesting as customer service had been drummed into us in training! They do wear a very snazzy red uniform with a little hat though if you like that kind of thing.
The seating: I found the seating quite good. Plenty of legroom, up to 34 inches. You also get a nice little pillow and a blanket.
The restrooms: Standard airplane lavatories, kept clean throughout the flight.
Amman Airport: The best thing about it is the Starbucks...

Advantages: Light and Bright, Good Reputation, Friendly and extra smiley crew! Disadvantages: Little legroom, OK Meals
...take-off time! Things were looking good!
AFTER TAKE-OFF
About ten minutes after take-off the captain spoke to us and gave us details of expected arrival time and the temperature and altitude, all of these meaningless but informative facts that they like to give you to keep you interested! And with that, the head of cabin attendants, whose name was Laura, as she repeated everytime she picked up the cabin announcement phone, repeated the whole of what the cabin had just said and in the background while she was repeating the useful facts we heard her crew getting the refreshments and snacks trolley being put together.
And within twenty minutes of being airbourne and being told the same meaningless facts again, the Thomas Cook Crew do not hang around in indulging us in some light refreshements with a heavy price tag and a small bag...
