and my dp is a total babe because he said 'no problem' when I put it to him

I am jealous.....lucky swine

bigspender30 · 30/10/2007 20:45

can i have your job please? Although you will be tired. I came off a flight from Florida once and had to go to a conference in Brussels the next day. It was tough

Yes if it was real work I would think that an immediate work trip straight off another one would be a bit of a pain BUT the EOS flights all have beds and the Portuguese trip is in a VINEYARD

I'm not jealous. Have flown business class (with BA) to NY twice, and didn't have to work whilst I was there.

Have a lovely time though .

bigspender30 · 30/10/2007 20:51

you jammy git! Can I be your PA?

Coolmama · 30/10/2007 20:51

If Eos is anything like Silverjet, it will change your idea of transatlantic travel forever - but beware - it is addictive

paulaplumpbottom · 30/10/2007 20:52

Virgin's Upper Class would have been the way to go

Oh no I am not important enough to have a pa but my 'work' involves viewing properties and being wined and dined so it hardly counts as work. Well it does if it is a block of flats somewhere crap but I know these two trips will be fun

But EOS is like Silverjet, it only has 48 seats on a 757 instead of 220. Better than Virgin I think.

CadaverousCorpulentCarmenere · 30/10/2007 21:15

Yes it does doesn't it
I expect that if I am ever lucky enough to go on Virgin upper class like Paula, I will then have a different standard to judge flights by but for now I am very happy with my lot
