It would be quiet. . .until I fell asleep. Then the silence would be broken by loud snoring, talking in my sleep and a few other noises.


I also snore loudly... maybe the plane isn't so ideal after all. Maybe the stewardesses would hand out earplugs.


Either that or record all those who snore, edit it, so it sounds like "The Blue Danube" or poke everyone snoring so they wake up.

Oh, and it'd have GOOD food! With a WIDE selection, instead of just two.

Good food would be nice, but I'd also take unlimited peanuts instead of that one puny bag. I've never been on a plane where they serve an actual dinner, but I've heard nothing good about those dinners.

Maybe the people who snore could use their emergency oxygen masks, that might make the snoring inaudible.

Toilets would be kept the same size though, I like being in a confined a place as that!

No fancy things like bars or casinos on the plane though, If we hit turbulence all the cards and drinks will fly everywhere!

There would be plenty of space to sit and move around in. And plenty of legroom too.

A free bar would be laid on - keg beer only though I'm afraid. And there would be rooms for autistics to go if they freaked out.

Instead of coping with all the hustle and bustle of large airports, why not have your own aircraft? Make it a single-seater to avoid unpleasant company (if you don't want to pilot the thing, let's just say it's fully automated, but I'd sure like the option to "go manual" and hands-on with stick and rudder pedals!). The "general aviation" area of the airport is usually no where near as busy nor crowded as in the "big airline"-section.

Don't worry about noisy rocket engines, even if you have a sensory issue with sound; just wear the active noise-cancelling headset as instructed -- they not only eliminate most of the noise (all that's left is a cosy rumble just audible enough to assure you that they're up'n'running), they're also connected to the built-in MP3-player...

And that player, along with the breath-taking view from 150 miles above Earth, is ample "in-flight entertainment"; in my opinion it beats any in-flight entertainment any ordinary airline could ever come up with...

The catering issue is also simplified: Pack your own foods along with your flight plan, log book, certificates etc. -- no more nasty surprises in organized little plastic trays! If you're going for the suborbital "space hop", be sure you choose something that doesn't crumb; crumbs are a mess to deal with in the weightlessnes around the apex of your flight trajectory...!

ALL the seats would be window ones!! And the seat does't make an exploding sound when you flush it.


All the seats would be window seats AND aisle seats. That way you have the best of both worlds. And you're guaranteed not to be sitting next to anyone. Yay!

Enough room between the rows of seats to stand up and walk!

And while I'm at it I'd like the seats to not be so overcrouded in general.

I have to agree with halle_bopp on this. Impractical, not as if Aspies/Auties are a different race and species. It would be unprofitable as well.

Do people really have sex in the toilets?

I don't think that's physically possible, knowing how cramped the toilets are.

That's what I thought when I was in one (not having sex).

There seems to be this preoccupation with doing it anywhere. In fact, there are probably only two places where it hasn't been done: space, and below the crust of the Earth.
