I’ve had worse.

I was less curious about the total bill, than the catering.

$4000 a person for a 6 day trip seems ….tough to do.

I must have a sheltered life.

Re: Metro 3 ( dangerous as they say it is )

I have experienced this event several times in a full motion Jetstream simulator. It is a violent departure for controlled flight if ...
