Advice LAX to LHR
In article ,
Kenneth Litwak wrote: I need to book seats for December from LAX to LHR for my wife and I to attend my Ph.D. graduation in Bristol. I've taken the trip several times from SFO to LHR and once from a conference in Orlando, FL to Gatwick. I'm trying to decide what will be the least uncomfortable in terms of leg space in coach and air conditioning . I've been in UAL's coach section, with no working headphone jack and it was somewhat uncomfortable on my legs, but at least the air conditioning was decent. I had good entertainment and the best meals and snacks on Virgin Atlantic but the air was not too fresh and that ws the shortest leg space I've encountered. British Airways was similar to UAL, but it was my first trip and I didn't know what I was doing so I ended up with an aisle seat (as requested) in the very last row in the plane, sharing the armrest with a woman who held an infant the whole 10.5 hours. Oiy! So who will have the most leg room? Best air conditioning? Best meals? Best entertainment? Really, the seating is most important, followed by the air. I can always take snacks or sandwiches with me and I usually take a novel along anyway (last time I took a scholarly book but I also had points so I got a seat in business there and first class back) . Any thoughts about planning a stopover in the middle, like in New York? Will an hour or two off the plane make the trip seem less wearying or more wearying? Thanks. Ken AA flight #'s 36 and 37. 777 service, early morning arrival going, early afternoon return to LAX. jay Mon, Sep 29, 2003 -- Legend insists that as he finished his abject...
