>Similarly, it's possibly a burden (albeit small) on your friends who have to text you in addition to organizing for others. I really have to agree with this: using your friends as personal assistants is not cool. Planning events ca

First class on an A380 is a better experience than a 787, if we're talking economy the economy upper deck on LH flights are truly a bliss to fly in: the first row is highly recommended.
