										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re anything like me in terms of financial status, you probably fly Economy Class.&nbsp; Immediately, you probably think, “Oh the seats are so cramped”, and “The food is terrible”.&nbsp; Those two statements indeed are true, well at least half true.</p>
<p>The seats on an airplane definitely aren’t the best.&nbsp; If your height is anything like 5’8”, your legs will probably be digging into the seat in front of you.&nbsp; I am taller than 5’8”, so it definitely did not feel very comfortable to me.</p>
<p>During the flight to London, I had the unfortunate seating arrangement which put me right in between the window seat and the aisle seat.&nbsp; If I sat in the aisle seat, then I could stretch out my legs every now and then.&nbsp; I could potentially get up and walk around.&nbsp; The problem was, the person sitting was always sleeping.&nbsp; I felt incredibly rude to wake up the person just so I could get up.&nbsp; The only thing I could do was to wait until that person got up to go to the washroom.&nbsp; I waited for that golden opportunity, and the moment it happened, I immediately got up and walked around.</p>
<p>However, this freedom was not meant to last.&nbsp; Eventually, I would have to sit back down.&nbsp; I tried to forget about how cramped I felt by watching a few movies or trying to go to sleep.&nbsp; It was a long 10 hours.&nbsp; Although, I did manage to stretch my legs underneath the seat in front of me as much as I could.&nbsp; That was better than nothing.</p>
<p>Luckily on the flight from London to Stuttgart, the plane I sat in had an enormous amount of leg room.&nbsp; Too bad it was only a one hour flight.&nbsp; I didn’t get enough time to enjoy that freedom.</p>
<p>The food on the other hand, was better than I expected.&nbsp; I thought I would be eating a rock hard piece of bread.&nbsp; To my surprise, the bread tasted quite alright.&nbsp; I mean, it was on a plane, so I didn’t expect something fantastic, but it wasn’t terrible.</p>
<p>With airplane food, there is always something about it that doesn’t make it quite right.&nbsp; It’s probably the fact that the food has been stored on the plane, and reheated for people to eat.&nbsp; I’m no chef, but maybe that’s what makes the food seem to be a little strange.</p>
<p>The worst part about the flight was definitely the cramped seats.&nbsp; Unfortunately, its quite the norm, except for that rare occasion.&nbsp; The food was alright, nothing to really complain about except maybe that the portions were too small!</p>
