Having worked in post conflict countries, where bombed out buildings stand like monuments of terror and the hollowed out faces of human tragedy stare aimlessly at their past lives, this unfolding caravan of fear and genocide is truly terrifying 💔 #StopWar #Ukraine #HumanityFirst

Is this the new norm??? When I politely asked the village idiot in 2F on Saturday if he could move his feet so that I could actually have my feet in front of MY seat, he aggressively replied “I’ve bought this seat and the space under it!” #flying #incredulous #avgeeks #assemble

@JLewisland Nicest to me - Charlton Heston & wife. He was being photographed in Planet Hollywood handing something over & his wife was sitting alone. I started chatting to her and when he was finished he came over, thanked me for looking after her & invited me to stay for a drink. Charming.

I’m sure #frequent #flyers will agree that the first few minutes on board @British_Airways sets the scene by the crew for the flight ahead. Tremendous fun crew on board #BA159 , gentle #Christmas music playing and drinks flowing, but I just wish this was longer than 6h7m! #BDA ✈️
