How was it, to spend 9 hours in a plane designed for midgets, preferrably midgets without any hand luggage? Where economy class tourists had twice the room on a 747 for a tenth of the price?
Which aircraft was this? No airliner that flew commercial services from London to Singapore in 9 hours cooped up its passengers in the way that you describe.
