That is quite an exhaustive list of ...wow Humairah! That is quite an exhaustive list of recommendations. I have more airline horror stories (flying Air Canada, nuff said ;-)) than good moments. I do agree with a common theme of trying to engage conversation with your neighbour. It doesn't hurt to smile when you meet your neighbour, you can usually tell if they will either sleep through the flight or engage convo with you. <BR/><BR/>I personally recommend the aisle seat since you don't need to walk pass people if you have to go to the washroom and allows you to exit the airplane quicker, and good tip on the exit room seating, it gives you more leg room. Ultimately, the best thing you can do on a place is sleep, although whenever I wanna sleep, I usually end up sitting near to a baby that cries the entire flight :|Ozairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15319067034300735661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29940758.post-71452458160276372492007-08-15T18:10:00.000+04:002007-08-15T18:10:00.000+04:00Mashallah, that's so true.So many beautiful ayahs ...Mashallah, that's so true.<BR/>So many beautiful ayahs in the Qur'an... your comment reminded me of this:<BR/>88:17 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- <BR/><BR/>أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ (88:17) <BR/> <BR/>88:18 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- <BR/><BR/>وَإِلَى السَّمَاء كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ (88:18) <BR/> <BR/>88:19 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- <BR/><BR/>وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ (88:19) <BR/> <BR/>88:20 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? <BR/><BR/>وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ (88:20)Humairah Irfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604144636685579043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29940758.post-84661443169863480862007-08-15T18:06:00.000+04:002007-08-15T18:06:00.000+04:00I always look out the plane and see the huge wings...I always look out the plane and see the huge wings spread out. It amazes me how you cannot see anything holding those wings aloft and yet the plane is flying. And then I remind myself of:<BR/><BR/>أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَفَّتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَنُ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ<BR/><EM><BR/>Have they not seen the birds above them lined up in columns and spreading their wings? The Most Gracious is the One who holds them in the air.
