Not that my Fiesta is winning any awards but perfect for city and the occasional longhaul (well nothing is long in Belgium) and on the Autobahn.

Airlines really should be cleverer when offering upgrade options, as for elites perks such as lounge, priority boarding & luggage are already free. So you want a min of โ‚ฌ95/pax for a stale meal and empty middle seat?

My heart bleeds. God forbid those with extraordinary means should contribute to society.... (Also: are they really leaving LHR with duty free and some cheap ass luggage?)
