Re: How it used to be
I remember my first flight on a Vickers Viscount to Sardinia. We had to stop to refuel in Nice, so that was the first time I had stood on foreign soil so to speak. I thought it was great and have flown a number of times since to all sorts of places. However it is not the pleasure it was with airports treating everyone as if they were terrorists (even my little local one) and planes so crammed full of people it is difficult to feel comfortable, not to mention screaming children on some flights. Given enough money to fly business or first class I would not mind flying still, as you do not have to queue up with the common herd, but go through security in a different area where you are treated politely and then there are lounges where you can sit in peace, have something to eat or drink, etc. I have done that twice with an upgrade, but they are hard to get. Now I go cruising from my nearest port, still security checks these days, but not as awful as at airports, and we are treated politely, before going on board to start our holiday.Re: How it used to be
