I love flying so much. I even like airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

When it comes to meals, there's always a fantastic choice on British Airways.

The only thing I like about air travel is it gives me time to read.

We've always had a pretty competitive and pretty ferocious battle with British Airways... It's lasted now about 14 years, and we're very pleased to have survived it.

My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry - especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation - that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better.

A lot of airlines have come and gone.

If anyone wonders why the airlines are not doing well it is because flying has been made such an unpleasant and degrading experience.

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

I have flown with British Airways since I was a very little child, so it feels quite special to have gone from family holidays flying around Europe to become a gold card holder and be spoiled enough to travel more than not in first class.

When you've been on a programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' job offers aren't exactly flying in.
