Flight is scheduled to start at 3:00 in Beirut, and once in the air that I hope to get some sleep. Ah, makes seats that are not reclg. We had to endure a flight to Paris for four hours standing. When I asked the hostess why the seats are not adjustable, his response was that the public had led to arguments among the passengers! I have heard lots of excuses and has traveled extensively, but it was new to me.
