The World's First Flying Hotel!

From My InBox:

Wow, the flying hotel and largest helicopter in the world, Cool! The
Hotelicopter is modeled on the Soviet-made Mil V-12, of which there
were only two prototypes ever made. The Hotelicopter Company purchased
one of these prototypes from the Mikhail Leontyevich Mil helicopter
plant in Panki-Tomilino, Russia in 2004 and have been engineering the
world's first flying hotel ever since.

"The Hotelicopter features 18 luxuriously-appointed rooms for
adrenaline junkies seeking a truly unique and memorable travel
experience.

Each soundproofed room is equipped with a queen-sized bed, fine
linens, a mini-bar, coffee machine, wireless internet access, and all
the luxurious appointments you'd expect from a flying five star hotel.
Room service is available one hour after liftoff and prior to
landing." The Hotelicopter is due to fly maiden journey this
summer(June 26th) with an undisclosed price...

Where does cabin crew sleep? (Half truth)

Please note the extract from an email received from a pilot from AirAsia.

"The uniform worn by the stewardess in the photo is not AirAsia uniform (check AirAsia website and see the difference or you can choose to fly with us to see in live). Only the color is similar. AirAsia's aircraft are fitted with black leather seats. Only AirAsia X (long haul aircraft) is fitted with fabric seats as it is leased from Qantas. However the color scheme is different. The shoes worn in the photo also is of different design. As you look at the head rest you will also notice that the logo is not an AirAsia logo."

In view of this, I have crossed off the name of the airline noted in the original photo received.

I was debating on whether to post the last photo on my blog and hurt this young lady's feelings. But then no one learns when you keep hiding the skeleton in the closet. It is best to learn from other people's mistake than to make your own. So, here it stays.

Digital cameras and camera phones are so common these days that you can even see young children playing around with them sometimes. So, be wary of how you look or act in public.
