This concept is great for LH passengers to touch with comfortable which never met before. So for my idea, I like to thanks the management team of the said quality of travel. Any how I will travel from Bangkok to Tallinn on this April, then I would like to know we will got the happy hours as above. Jarunee 18 February 2009 Dear Sir,

I would just about kill for the ability to lie down and sleep on a long flight. I am utterly incapable of sleeping sitting up and flying back from Australia on a 22 hour flight was utter torture. So much so, I asked the flight attendant if there was any chance that I could lie down on the floor in the galley while they were not making food. She said no. I offered $100 and she still said no. Given the fact that I can't afford the super expensive decked-out uber-luxury of the premier international first class arrangement where you get a full reclining seat and a little mini-room to stay in, I think bunks in coach would be the best damn thing going. I have absolutely no belief that superjumbos like the A380 will improve passenger comfort at all. Oh sure, they will have huge beds and entertainment and everything for those who have money to burn. That's the situation now on smaller planes. The only difference is you can fit a few more of them in the aircraft. For the rest of us it will just be more company in the miserably small seats. Remember, the Boeing 747 was the same when it came out - they talked about lounges and piano bars and everything. They put them in a few early models for show. Once the party was over, most got converted to sardine-seating while others kept the super-luxury configuration and used to ferry billionaires to Dubai. Wow.
