Getting Ready To Go

Both of us have been on many economy flights in cramped seats with no leg room. Well, who am I kidding... I'm not sure if Ryan has EVER made it past the little curtain to hang with us "commoners" in the back but rest assured, I have and I don't need to tell you that there aren't very many perks. Sure, there might be the option of choosing your seat when flying but it really doesn't matter when you're in economy. If you've chosen the window seat, you have to get two other people to get up out of their seats every time you need to go to the bathroom... either that, or give the other patrons the option of 'ass' or 'crotch' as you shimmy by. The aisle seat might be good for those of you 100 lbs. or less, but I can vouch for those of us with broad shoulders that sleeping in an aisle seat is not an option, unless you want to risk decapitation with the beverage cart. I don't think I need to go into the cons of the middle seat.

I know that many of you will want nothing more than to flip us the bird when I tell you about the flight details of our upcoming vacation, but know before hand that the flights are a result of cashing in Aeroplan points (Thank you, Jane!). Yes, we are abandoning economy class and flying business on Lufthansa to Rome... oh but wait, there's more.

Lufthansa recently upgraded all of the business class seats on their planes. Here's where we will be resting our toosh while we cross the Atlantic:
They look amazing, don't they? I know, I know... I would hate us too. To give you a glimpse into the business class section of the plane, check out this video. I'm guessing by the music, the guy who taped it was as "happy" as we are!



Hopefully we'll be able to take some of our own pictures and videos when we actually get onto the plane on Sunday. Ciao for now!
