RE: What Dead Airline Would You Fly...

For me it would be Pan Am.

RE: Granite

Hi

What I mean was I can get a window seat, but not the exact one I want.

I flew with KLM twice to Hong Kong and I was able to pin point the exact seat I wanted and pre-book it.

That was good.

RE: SQ 747-400 Seating

Hi

I requested a window seat in economy for my forthcoming trip to Australia and all have been pre-booked. I did this at the booking stage, back in January!
