Anyone know anything about Air Turkmenistan,  like where you can buy tickets
in the UK, and what they cost.

I'm told that they're very cheap,  very basic and reasonably safe.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

That seems to be the case from airlinequality.com's feedback. Very
variable. Interestingly, most of the comments are from South Asian
passengers, who would have to be among the world's most demanding.
Every time I get on a flight from BLR - esoecially with the top-class
carriers like SQ

That seems to be the case from airlinequality.com's feedback. Very
variable, though.

Interestingly, most of the comments are from South Asian passengers,
who would have to be among the world's most demanding. Every time I
get on a flight from BLR - especially with fairly top-class carriers
like SQ or TG - the cabin-crew call button lights flick on and off
like fairy lights: ventilation on/off, blankets, water, juice, whisky.
Much eye-rolling among the staff. One young TG passenger - possibly on
his first trip - got upset because there was no Indian whisky. I did
point out that the Famous Grouse he was being offered was likely to be
the best scotch he'd ever had up to that point.

That's my impression as well,  although I wish they wouldn't treat the cabin
staff exactly as if they were their own house servants.

Ah yes,  the educated middle-class Indian man on his first trip out of India

I wonder how many of them get a thump on the nose...

Interesting little thread here!  Is there any web site that collects
fellow-passenger (or airline crew) reviews of airline _passengers_?

Could be a winner . . .

FlyerTalk occasionally does.
