Business travel liable to offend senses - ICIS Chemicals Confidential

A guest posting from Caroline Murray, blogging for ICIS on her way to a symposium on PET in Florence ...

This time last week I donned my trendiest shades to protect my eyes from the garish orange hue that is Easyjet, on a?non-business?flight to London.

Once jostled into position I was forced to fold my body, origami style, into the seat I fought tooth and nail for. I was understandably horrified when a midriff belonging to the gentleman next to me in 26B happily moulded itself around what should have been MY armrest.

I closed my eyes to the horrors around me.

Shortly after takeoff, my ears were subjected to the hounding of a string of sales pitches screeching out over the tannoy. What happened to a single trolley, softly rustling down the aisle?

I eventually became oblivious to the incessant racket and was growing rather fond of my new friend the midriff, so I dosed off.

As I dreamt of all the exciting things one could do with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Susie, the surly stewardess, poured a cup of nuclear hot chocolate over my head, jacket and trousers. Her first reaction (which was slow by the way) was to offer me a single cocktail napkin; her second was to start patting my head with it; her third was to take cover as I started flapping my arms around while I jumped up and down trying to blow out the flames.
