Who else in their right mind would want to go to Iceland?

And this is why I will never fly.

It is true that any landing that you walk away from is a good one. I love flying. Had a couple of interesting flights which all add to the experience. Some of passengers can be annoying, and in cattle class not much legroom, but that does not stop me travelling. Much more risk of a car crash or getting mugged.

Flew home from Turkey a month ago and felt like a hamster in a cage for 4 1/2 hours...never using a certain UK tour operators airline again.

It is a wonder that more people do not get deep vein thrombosis (DVT). I always make sure that I move around and do some basic exercises, especially after sleeping. I have a really good pair of noise cancelling headphones which I wear to help me sleep, it is amazing how the engine noise disappears. They also make listening to in-flight movies easier as you do not need to turn the volume so high to hear over the engines and cabin sounds.

There wasn't even sufficient room to lower the table located in the rear of the seat in front of me and no I'm not particularly rotund
