Early Morning Open Thread, The ONT Edition - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]

There was a bit of confusion last night and two... count 'em TWO ONTs were published. After playing Chip and Dale for a while, with the "No, I'll take mine down. No! Permit me!", I pulled mine down. Yet, that doesn't mean I'm going to let perfectly good content go to waste, thus I present the Green version of the Early Morning Open Thread: The recycled ONT.

At 0700 on a Sunday, you get what you get.

Our pal is under the weather and has asked that I fill in for the night.

Feel better, CDR M.

How the "other half" fly: Beats the heck out the peanuts back in coach class.

For passengers lucky enough to be flying First or Business Class with Emirates, Qatar or Etihad, lavish gifts are in store. The airline's vanity bags have been voted the best in the world. However, those travelling with Air Canada, Condor and Iberia are not in for such a treat - their amenity kits have been ranked the worst. Forty-eight vanity bags from economy, business and First Classes from 27 of the world's top airlines have been rated on a scale of one to six - with one ranked as 'taxiing' and six as 'fly me to the moon.' Just five airlines achieved a six-star review: Emirates, Etihad, Japan Airlines, Qatar and United Airlines - while Air Canada, Condor and Iberia were awarded just three stars. Middle Eastern and Far Eastern airlines dominated the top 10 - with none of the best amenity kits coming from European airlines. Only one US airline earning the full six-star 'fly me to the moon' rating.
