Little Thomas didn’t like flying. I came to this conclusion 10 minutes into the flight from Copenhagen to Manchester. During all these 10 minutes Thomas who was aged about 7 or 8 had wailed as loudly as he could that he wanted to get off and that he didn’t like flying.
Well, Thomas, with you as a regular fellow-passenger most people would agree with you. Thomas and his mother, brother and sister were on the same Scandinavian Airways flight and the luck of seat allocation meant they surrounded me. I hasten to add I’m not related to Thomas’s family. Thomas’s interjections into the calm take-off atmosphere were a pity because you have to say, with the exception of this noise, it was a trouble free flight.
Well almost, as we sat on the plane at the gate waiting to move off another passenger’s mobile phone went off, unfortunately this gentleman did not know how to switch his phone off. He had about 5 attempts whilst the refrain of Popeye the Sailor Man rang merrily around the aircraft. A stewardess asked for help from the passengers to turn it off and this was duly done. It is sometimes gratifying to know in this increasingly technological world that however much you feel you are not up to speed technology-wise there is always someone who knows less, a considerable amount less, than you do. Thank you man with the phone for this.
I had flown to Copenhagen from Manchester a few days earlier on business. The outgoing flight was completely trouble free, on time and a smooth comfortable flight with typical in-flight fare. Now in-fight food is something you should either love or hate but a number of people seem to well just eat it without comment. Nobody ever finishes their in-flight meal with a flourished wipe with the napkin whilst going ‘Mmmm delicious’ nor surprisingly does anyone ever say ’What the hell is this, what have I ever done to you?.’ No there is a cowed acceptance that in-flight food is awful. Of course it’s inedible - you’re on a plane!
But I can recommend Scandinavian Airways, they are efficient, the staff were all pleasant and the pilot seemed to know what he was doing.
