In-flight entertainment
Once they've turned off all the movies, the only thing for the television generation to do is to watch is the digital map that tracks the aircraft's progress from origin to destination.

It was looking like we were going to get in to London a few minutes early until the pilot decided to do a loop over north-east London:

The captain used to fly with the Red Arrows...

Or perhaps the pilot was trying to draw a pair of spectacles on Greater London...

It did seem like the cabin crew were in a slightly frivolous mood because I'm almost positive I heard the captain say, just before we started out descent into London: "And like me, the fasten seatbelt signs have just been turned on".
