Low cost airline is like playing Russian roulette!

Posted on November 20, 2009. Filed under: Casual day news! | Tags: |

Today, I found an entertaining piece of information for my « casual day news ». Thanks to Sergio, I recently read a “funny” article about low cost travel.

The English team soccer of Chelsea recently flew out of Qatar to Brazil. Lampard and the England team rode on a charter plane, better suited to shorter flights, whose seats did not fully recline. The Sun reported that some players of the team said they suffered from cramps and muscle aches after the journey. After spending seven hours cramped on the flight, Lampard picked up an injury during training and may be out of action for up to seven weeks with a thigh injury. As a result, the England football league (FA) could face a bid for nearly £1million in compensation.

The moral of this story:

The FA should have known that low cost travel is like playing Russian roulette. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but let’s face it, you always end up lose more than you win in the end!
