Product Description

Synopsis
Humorous correspondence to and from over forty airline companies. Meet the 38 stones man who has never flown before and stands fat chance of ever doing so. The man who thinks his distinct Turkish looks won't go down very with the locals in the Greek half of Cyprus. The passenger who wants to enjoy the flight with his inflatable rubber woman sat on his knee. The man who suspects his false teeth may have been stolen by one of the cabin crew. Meet these delightful people plus many, many more, and enjoy the funniest read you'll have had for ages. If you enjoyed the Henry Root Letters you'll love Dear Air 2000..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Lasagne Lovers, 18 Dec 2006
By Mrs. K. Chesworth - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having travelled with Air 2000 I remember their lasagne as much as Terry Ravenscroft.
If you are travelling soon this book is a must for a damn good read on your journey, in fact you won't be able to put it down and may ell forget to exit the plane.
Also the Air UK section of this book brings back memories of my youth when I used to dress up kinkily for my husband.
DO NOT READ THIS IN BED OR YOU WILL MIGHT FIND YOURSELF PEEING AND HAVING TO CHANGE THE SHEETS.

I was laughing out loud with this book. The letters are all completely different and most get a reply.

I recommend that you get this book NOW.
