yes, am 16+ and have flown several times...just lift the arm rest up so it doesnt dig into you

Hi AAA didn't catch full thread, when r u heading off? I'm off to Italy tomorrow for a wk, should be packing but I'm on here, as regards the flying bit, I got sick off nearly having heart attacks prior to every flight so popped down to gp last yr when I was going to NY, anyway he prescribed low dose of valium, not knock you for six type dosage, 5mg just enough to take the edge off, it worked a treat Anyway hope you have a wonderful time, sounds lovely [smile[

almostanangel · 14/05/2005 13:36

havent had time to be scared of first flight yet!! more worried bout my arse in the seats pmsl though thank you

almostanangel · 14/05/2005 13:42

Playing devils advocate to your Angelicness but maybe if you (not for real mind) present yourself to gp on sprained ankle type injury, get letter from gp, get on to said cattle airline with said injury and request seat at front of cattle carrier, just a thought

almostanangel · 14/05/2005 13:47

will my arse be smaller in front of the plane then !! due to airstream or something

Business class arm rests do not move up IYSWIM

If the seat belt doesn't fit ask the stward for an extension

It is the ones that you use if you have a baby to buckle them in.

Don't sit in front row though cos the tables come from arm rests and have to rest on your tummy

Oh the joys of being voluptuous

You will be fine

Mhamai · 14/05/2005 13:56

Actually didn't think that one through! doh! either way AAA you will be fine, now must go and do some packing! Volaray oh oh Its Amoray etc! ps this trip is really special, my first time in Italy, will be in Tuscany on Mums 6th anniversary, her granfather was from Tuscany, so will be there for her, she never got to go there and she loved Italy and will be buying a plant, to plant there also, will be very emotional for me but very beautiful too, maybe you can sprinkle some of your Angel dust my way

almostanangel · 14/05/2005 13:57

oh yes great fun ..i will be so chuffed if i sit down and all is fine i will get thown off for cheering!
