If a person cannot stay off the phone for the 7 hours it takes to get from Heathrow or Gatwick to New York, then there is a major blip going on in one's life. I know that the A-330 offers so much more privacy that other upper class planes, (I flew to Rome on a redone Upper Class and the configuration was amazing. 1 seat..2 seats, facing opposite directions..then another seat. 4 in one row! I didn't believe it until I boarded. Was amazing, the privacy, et al. HOWEVER, this new found privacy did not prevent me from hearing other's conversations, snoring, etc. To have one or more people on a 7 hour flight chatting away, as they have nothing better to do, like read...or even catch a film, would be heinous. All the perks of the space would be dashed to smithereens due to 'yadda yadda yadda'! Also, again, if one cannot 'hang up' for 7 hours, then they had better take a long look at their lives for there is no reason to have to be connected 24/7. I won't even get an iPhone as there is nothing so important that either a call, itself, or time won't fix. Don't need to know every time I have been 'tagged' on FB or emailed. It can wait. If I were at the office, would be different, but while driving, having a latte, a cosmo, etc....is my time. We need to relearn how to be in one place at one time. Bad Idea. I get the financial end of it and they will take in lots of money, but for those of us not partaking...it will be one hellish flight.
