Reason NOT to fly 747 in Y

Astonishing the FAs let him get away with that (unless it was an FA!).

Don't hate just because he thought of it and pulled it off.

Many years ago I flew from Cairo to LHR in BA C (pre flatbed era). It seemed that everyone that morning had a bad stomach, or worse. There was no aisle space left for all the passengers stretched out in any place they could find. Hands down the worst flight I ever took.
|
Wow, seems like a common thing for that route. Saw similar attempts by a woman on SQ1 sitting in emergency exit row. Poor FA had to repeatedly remind her not to do it.
|
Apparently they are still handing out free liquor in coach.

Thai Airways used to always have on-board announcements telling passengers NOT to sleep on the floor.
|
Lol, there are a number of reasons never to fly Y on a UA 747 (no AVOD) but that's certainly a new one I will add to my list :)

Sounds like a challenge.

How did he get a blanket from C? Hope no one in the upper management seeing this or we are going to sell this space soon. :D

Crew bunks
My old boss on a TG or CX (one of the Asian carriers) about 10 years ago, was ill and decided that he needed to lie down flat. He got up from his UD J seat and snuck into the crew bunks above the galley in the tail of the 744. He slept there for about 4 hours before the crew found him and politely told him he had to go back to his seat. What's shocking about the story is they were very apologetic for making him move. But he came back refreshed and feeling much better.
Had he done that on NW or UA, I'm sure he would be met with some very strong language and reprimand. |
I downgraded to Y on NRT-SFO so I could fly home with a new puppy. Some of the Y pax behavior was astonishing, for want of a better term (and yes, I fly Y a lot--just not internationally :p).
I witnessed a lady sleeping in the floor (albeit in a regular row and not back in the galley). Another lady's kid also slept on the floor, and did such stunts as roll down the aisle during takeoff (his mom played dumb when the FAs insisted he be belted in) and spend half the flight flipping on and off the overhead lights for half the seats in his row (and the other half raising then slamming down the tray tables in the same row). Come approach and landing, the kid again escaped from his seatbelt--and his mom didn't get up to grab him--and started running up and down the aisle, then fell and rolled around when a FA tried to get him up. If I'd been a FA on that flight, I think the kid would have ended up in plastic handcuffs, and probably the mom after him. |

The poor man's J!

I'd have taken a napkin and made a "HOMELESS - PLEASE HELP" sign to put on him...then taken the picture.

This is common on trains in China. An extreme example: http://blogs.afp.com/correspondent/?...train-in-China

That's Y++ without paying extra on a first come, first serve basis, LOL
Missed flying those *A Queens - he looks to be sound asleep - hopefully didn't snore loudly (which-sometimes-can be a problem up in J) - and rather comfortable, a travel pillow (or improvised one) would've been perfect :D FA, purser and others just walked around him, after he occupied this prized spot sometime after takeoff and all the way across the Pacific until landing ... also, didn't eat, drink or pee, etc. at all? How interesting - time for *A to reclaim that premium space and install 2 or 3 pull-down bunks w. seat belts ! :rolleyes: |

I just would caution people to make sure their head is not poking into the aisle AT ALL if they sleep on the floor - years ago a teammate didn't follow this rule, and took a trolley to the head (fortunately they were moving slowly down the aisle serving, not on the fast paced rush down) |
