How to Outsmart the Airlines and Beat the Shrinking Airplane Seat The Wall Street Journal recently posted a brilliant article about the supposed ‘Shrinking’ airline seat, where airlines have become savvy about squeezing in an extra seat per row to get extra revenue, whilst losing an inch per seat width in comfort. Interestingly the main airframes this applies to are the 777 (nine across comfortably, but now fitting 10) and the A380 (ten across comfortably on the lower deck, but able to stretch to 11), which are wide enough to be able to squeeze the passengers in tightest. The older A330 frame hasn’t changed in width for a while can comfortably fit eight abreast, although some airlines have been fitting in nine abreast for sometime, mainly in the Asian market, where statistically passengers are slightly smaller. Europe and North America suffer from some of the largest passengers in the air. So it can all be very confusing. Do Your Research Let’s say you are just about to book your seat.

The Moron's Guide to Denmark for Americans This page is intended for the use of Americans coming to Denmark. When I say Americans, I mean adult, English-speaking citizens of the United States of America. The page may be useful to others, but that's incidental to my intentions. This page was last updated in April 2012. What's that snazzy looking magazine below, you ask? The Basics There are two primary resources for anyone in Denmark, including Danes themselves. The second major resource is probably of limited value to visitors, but is absolutely vital for residents. The site used to offer a useful tourism section in English but no longer does. The real value of Borger.dk is as a starting point for all serious questions about life in Denmark. But, Moron, I haven't learned enough Danish yet, and I already need these services! But you're luckier than I was: you can now translate Danish web pages on the fly using Google Translate, which now handles English-to-Danish and Danish-to-English translation.
