He, an old geezer who smelled of his drink (of which he imbibed a LOT of), kept hitting on the girl even when she put in ear phones (then ear plugs), put on eye shades, and curled up in her blanket.

If somebody has decided to slowly kill themselves by smoking, I don't have a problem with that, but please don't come and sit near me on an airplane. I just flew SIN-LHR an A380 with a couple of obviously heavy smokers. 14 hours of coughing, spluttering, and other piggish sounds certainly tried my patience (and probably the rest of the cabin too). Absolutely no chance of getting any sleep whatsoever.

Curiously, while talking to a fellow Ft-er in HNL at the mini-Do earlier this month, he expressed surprise that I was a 20/day smoker as he couldn't smell anything offensive about me.

Please listen carefully, our options have recently changed...
Oh? When?
It would be nice to be able to press the buttons you know you need without having to listen to the spiel, but exactly when did the options recently change?
Yes I realise the purpose is to pad out the waiting time with something that appears to be neccessary, but it can often add more to frustration levels!
And as an aside, who says privicy versus privacy?

Never ever think you can easily overnight in the QR lounge in DOH. What a stupid idea that was.
I am knackered....

[rant] Assorted airline websites who put information in very small/grey fonts, so that when you print your itinerary/e-ticket/receipt it's almost invisible/illegible.

Al Safwa is perfectly acceptable to overnight if you can get one of their sleeper cabins.

Or, even if a helpful FTer, who you know, had helpfully relayed to members that the sofas had been removed from the Al Mourjan Lounge...in December.
Oh, wait a second, I did precisely that...http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/25827206-post1973.html

Fortunately, as this post is a rant it is in exactly the right thread!
