Cheap air tickets to UK!!

yeah yeah…i know I’m very late in writing this news: Airasia is flying to the UK! Have read about this but somehow I’m lazy to jot this down. till today.

It’s going to UK!
Datuk Fernandes announced this (forgotten exactly when, still looking for it). Well, it does create smiles and excitement since it is so dirt cheap! Darn is even cheaper than driving from my hometown to Singapore!
But leh, taking flights for 13hr from KL to UK is no funny matter. It is entirely different from taking 13 hr bus or train from one place to another. With the air pressure, temperature and seat arrangement taken into consideration, this is what I expect from long haul flights (according to ranks):
1 comfort
2 comfort
3 comfort
4 abundant supply of h2o
5 food
6 entertainment
Since it is still meant to be a budget flight, so I believe many usual services will be sacrificed. Basics like in-flight meals and entertainment will sure be gone. Well that is not a problem. What I’m more concerned now is
1) the item restrictions: since wanna be cost efficient, I’m sure to bring my own food and drinks to last the 13 hours. But with the recent strict regulations for contents of hand lugguages, what type of restriction on food and drinks would there be?
2) the hand luggage weight limit: the usual is 7kg. But if I were to take in one laptop and one bag of comestics and some other small items, that already amount to 6.8kg. So if I were to take in food as well, sure ‘overweight’?!
3) the seating arrangements: I’m sure the seating arrangement will be different from the usual. Oh…I already feel the squeeze in between seats in economy class in those airlines. So I can’t imagine about the seats would be like. Even more squeeze and thus not so comfortable?
I figure that, if I’m not allowed to bring in any food for some reasons, then I don’t know how much the food would cost in flight. This would apply to the entertainment facilities too.
So L and I were talking about this. We both agreed that this kind of flight is ok if it is purely for visitation. Nonetheless, it is still a good news that I’m waiting to see how it would be like when it is finally ready to fly to the UK.
But for sure, no Airasia for me if I were a student just moving into UK or returning from UK to KL for good.
