Sat on my fisrt ever airplane and so far so good- just sat through scary safety briefing. Is anyone really expected to remember all that? Most people just talked through it. In case of emergency they're on there own.
We seem to be taxiing. Is taxiing a real word? Doesn't look real. Anyway, if we keep at this speed I'll be OK.
Transpires we aren't actually moving. Just warming up the engines. Oh boy.Flight assistant strapping herself in now. This shits about to get airborne!
Really don't like this feeling. Still feels a bit unsteady and I can feel each lift as the power grows. Guess I've got 20 minutes or so of this. And a headache. I wonder if this will clear my ears? If not, will it clear my belly button fluff?
Well it didn't but the boring (and loud. So very loud) guy who was sat next to me did.
Didn't get a chance to write anything else. He was just like a Father Ted character. The guy had a piercing laugh that caused the woman in front to keep turning round. I think she believed it was the cabin alarm going off and she was one of the ones talking through it.
We started down after about just 20 minutes in the air. Seemed to be going in circles, decending and then going back up again but my loud mouthed neighbour didn't give me much of a chance to work out what was happening.
We landed with a bump (quite a heavy one!). The idiot next to me still didn't shut up. The plane sped really fast down the runway but still took about 5 minutes to taxi around and then stop. And that was it. All done with no call for Leslie Nielson.
