November 4: Luxury Jetliner

I've noticed that the times and dates are all screwed up and now I'm all worried that it isn't showing up as a different day. But I promise, it's 1am on Sunday, so I'm totally in line with NaBloPoMo. And off we go!

Today's comes from Meredith, who wants to fly on the world's largest luxury jetliner. And who wouldn't?

Let's pull some exorbitant quotes, shall we?

Flight attendants handed out champagne and certificates to passengers, some of whom paid tens of thousands of dollars in an online auction for seats.

Each suite, enclosed by sliding doors, is fitted with a leather upholstered seat, a table, a 23-inch flat screen TV, laptop connections and a range of office software.

The highest bidder was Briton Julian Hayward who bought two suite seats for $100,380.

Of course, I conveniently skipped the quote that's supposed to let us sleep easier:

SIA auctioned most of the seats on the inaugural flight on eBay, raising $1.26 million for charity.
