27 May 2009 Apologies for the long absence. Have travelled to spread the word to – amongst other places – Berlin and Edinburgh. Not that it was enjoyable. Am distinctly uncomfortable about flying these days. Primarily because of climate change, but also because travel can be very unpleasant. Reading of British Airways’ results, reminds me why.
Gradually both plane and train operators expanded their business or first class departments and squeezed their economy passengers. As a result both airline and train travel economy class have become almost unbearable. Thankfully I am short, but how do those taller than 5.3″ survive in those cramped, claustrophobic cabins? The fact is that we, economy class passengers, were treated with contempt by both airline and train operators. More and more space was handed over to a minority - the rich and privileged.
