Flight #20 - the drunk Irish youth

I was flying from New York to LHR on the red eye flight the Monday after St. Paddys day. The flight home was full of Irish and it was my goal to sleep the entire way.

The first person who sat down was a woman in her 30's who quickly was told that a seat had been made available next to her Fiancé at the back of the plane. Moved to her seat was a young Irish student in his early to mid-20's.

The guy seemed chatty, friendly, educated (was reading a book whoopdy) but realised I was sleeping is didn't bother me. As soon as we took off though a steward came around and told the young guy that there was a seat empty for him in Economy plus or whatever it is called so he was moved which meant I effectively had a seat all to myself next to me. Hurrah. As I just slept this meant my sleep was better than I could have imagined:-)
