Think how angled the walls would be if the floor was raised. Check out pics of the upper deck of the 747 - it would be worse than that.

Got to love British units of measure - 'end to end this measures 33 double-decker buses'. Do they not think that anyone can envisage the size of a conventional unit of measure (e.g. foot/yard/metre)?!

Well if you or a friend/relative are on the flight then it's of interest. Personally I would much rather read threads about rejected takeoffs than the very regular 'Air Timbuctou is getting putting winglets on their A320s'.
As is always the case, if you're not interested then ignore it.

Because it is so close to London with great transport options into the city. Travel to Gatwick would require, for a lot of people, driving on the M25 motorway which is slow and tedious.
