Except for the one time that the French Air Force put us out too low and too fast for a static line jump causing one team member to hit the side of the aircraft and lose some equipment, another team member to tear an inguinal ligament upon landing, and yet another team member to break a leg, we all had a really good time (afterwards, they were buying all the drinks!). I hope that your experience in tourist class will be as rich and diverse as mine was in working class. It probably couldn't be any worse.

Moral of story: be sure when you purchase your airline ticket you pay for a takeoff and a landing.
