737s are bad enough. I can't imagine spending 8 hours bouncing across the
atlantic in something not much bigger than a minibus, comfortable seats or
not.

Perhaps they fly around the turbulence?

Personally, I'd pay more for a smaller plane. Then again, I love a bit of
turbulence - reminds you you're flying. Of course, I used to be a glider
pilot, so my feelings may not be mainstream.

I imagine its different when you're the one in control.

I can confirm though that the 7 hours I didn't on a 737 a couple of weeks
ago were ****ing torture.

I'm surprised a 737 can fly for 7 hours without refueling. What ****ty budget
airline was dishing them up for long haul? Let us know so we can avoid it.

FlyDubai. And yes, absolutely - avoid them like the plague; truly among the
worst airlines I have ever had the misfortune of flying with (and I've
flown Wizz & BlueAir.)
