Wonder if the air-rage stats will start to go through the roof. Can you imagine if someones phone goes off mid-way through an overnighter and wakes up some kids who then start crying etc etc. Think again, all airlines.

We will all be treated to a loud run-down of what the food was like, the movie, the bloke in front who has reclined his seat into my lap, the standard of the toilets, Auntie Flo got tipsy on a G&T and endless requests of "what's the weather like back home".

Not good, not good at all.
