When I do long haul flights, I am thankful there is a clean toilet close to landing time! And here she is worried about not having a shower 🙂
This video is meant to be satirical but in my opinion it is yet another example that points out the vast difference between the haves and the have nots. Taking a cue from the tone of the ad, here are my 5 crazy things airlines must have on a plane
Internet ConnectionFree Internet Connection – Now if airlines wanted real sticky loyalty, here is what they should be looking to give; free internet to everyone aboard. I mean everyone. First class to cattle err economy class- Selfie Stations – What use is free internet if you can’t take tonnes of pictures and post on social media. Right? Every airplane should have a selfie station with cool props like the pilot’s cap, stewardess hat etc. etc.
- Champagne – Every single passenger must be given champagne. Don’t the airlines tell us that they value us and all that? So a tall flute of bubbly is how you welcome guests aboard!
- PlayPen – Now this is for the harried mothers. You’ve handed her a glass to relax herself and before she knows it the feisty toddler has struck it out on to the floor. Get them kids on a playpen with toys, some cartoons, maybe a bit of sand. The mothers can actually rest while those nannies watch over the kids
- Jacuzzi – A long haul flight means sore aching limbs. A quick dip in the jacuzzi would be the perfect solution. No?
Some wish list I would be happy even if one of them comes true.. 🙂
… BTW an airline in Europe is planning to put passengers in Cargo bin without any windows for cheap tickets… there goes the Jacuzzi 😛
Hehe… wishful thinking Prasad… Yes cargo seats waala toh too much ho gaya. Economically, it probably makes sense but I am worried corporates would start sending employees there to save money!
Haha! Free internet, jacuzzi, me wants all! 😉 Let’s make a plea to the airlines! 😉
Just share this link Aditi… if it goes viral, the airlines will see it 🙂
I want it all :-p
Yea…. would be awesome na?
Nice post 🙂
Thank you
jacuzzi! Me wants 😀
🙂 me too
Just Like Jennifer Aniston said, A Bar and Spa is what I’d love on a plane too.
– Style.. A Pastiche – New OOTD Post
If everyone had those, it would not be so bad now.. would it?
I love the emirates ad. It’s quirky in its own way.
Yea… it is so cool…!
sounds like bliss
If only they agree… it will be like bliss 🙂
Nice one, Anks!
I’ve been lucky to fly the A380 first class from London to Dubai and it was simply awesome; Truth be told, I was upgraded because i flew on Christmas day and they were almost empty.
But over the 8 hour flight, it was fabulous!
But yes, I get the satire – you should write more 🙂
Ooh… that is awesome…. would have been easier for the crew to serve only one class so they must have sent everyone there 😛
Thank you for liking it… I am always scared of humor falling flat! and to get appreciation from you… cherry on the cake!
He he! All amenities for all passengers is a bit of a stretch!! But yeah! Business and first class is a bit too pampered. Spouse takes it for granted now!
Can imagine! lucky him I must say…
I loved this.. You should write more of these sides. You have a knack for subtle humorous writing.
🙂 will surely attempt it.. my writing has been called dry so it is good that this new style is being appreciated… thanks UK!
Playpen would be a great thing. Handling kids on plane might turn out to be a nightmare, when the fellow passengers give those looks.
Lol at Champenge. They charge thrice the actual price for a coke. Let then first come to normal market value. 😛
I think the first class guys get free champenge and all those free eminities.
Hehe. Jacuzzi! Leg space is a growing problem with inrreasing passengers and cramped airplanes. While we are at it, a spa treatment for the feet would be a great addition too. 😛
Well written post. 🙂
That was quick AK… A spa treatment sounds wonderful… like those automated massagers in malls and airports!
