I do maths and my mum says I'm cool so logically maths must be a thing cool people do. That's an airtight logical proof. Plus I found this image on the World Wide Web.  Can't argue with that.

the only time i've flown anything but coach, i took enormous advantage of the free alcohol. the flight attendants have a few tricks - they'll stop offering so you have to ask and obviously if you're visibly intoxicated you get cut off - but i'm a very polite and affable drunk, and airplanes are boring enough i want to be drunk the whole time.

I was on an air india flight a few years ago and the attendant came over 2/3rds of the way into the flight and asked me if I wanted a drink, I asked for a beer and then they asked, "Another one?", so I said uuh sure, took it, then they said "Another one?" again and I ended up with 3 beers at once without even needing to ask.

I fly long haul relatively often(that immigrant family life) and accepting booze at every opportunity is the only way to do it. Don't bother with red wine though, it'll be icy cold and taste awful.

Yeah it's just exhausting, like some morons standing in front of a leak in a boat going "boy it's sure a good thing objective reality doesn't exist because otherwise this leak would be real!" Also "advanced democracy" we somehow skipped by from theocratic monarchy past basic democracy into advanced when I wasn't looking

I can't get pissed on flights, usually because i've either taken some internet drugs to get me to sleep, or becuase i don't want to spend the entire flight pissing. I've also never pressed the button.... because I am a coward. So i spend the entire flight gagging for water

Got bumped to premium economy on BA last when they ran out of seat and they give you wine or something on the tarmac. And I regard a G&T as obligatory on long haul, and any exclusive beers they might have, the BA Brewdog is decent. All helps me get a bit of sleep on there, I've never found there were so many movies I could fill the flight with them.

Celexi posted:No idea what was going on with virgin atlantic lately, but I flew them first class like 2006 to jfk from london that someone else paid, and we both agreed it had been a waste of money and the staff and crew tried too hard being edgy, we returned in an american airlines coach flight and to this day I still don't know what was so amazing about virgin atlantic The one time I ever flew with Virgin was after my wife and I were married. We had saved up for a deluxe honeymoon on the basis you only live once. We had thought about going to Italy or the US, but since Trump had been elected we really didn't want the US getting our honeymoon money so we went to Cancun instead. Our flight with the travel agent was a Virgin flight to Mexico from London. And it was jammed. We were situated between two people. One was a woman who the staff stopped serving drinks before the takeoff because she had gotten so balloubas drunk. She then swapped with a friend who kept getting drinks for her. The guy in my side kept getting up mid flight to go talk to his mates, before going back to his seat, fidgeting nervously and asking how long was left in the flight because he was dying for a cigarette. And the whole section of the plane was like that. Super loud, super chaotic and boozed up. My wife and I both deeply regreated not thinking ahead and upgrading our seats. Like going from economy to premium (not even business class) would have likely been much better.
