I am afraid I have to admit to having been woken by one of the cabin crew because one of the other pax was complaining about the awful din coming from my suite.[:I][:I]

Well I have been on both sides, I am known to snore, but not a lot and only when my sinus' are blocked. I have also been trying to get to sleep and had someone 'belting' them out in the suite next to me. This guy woke up after nearly 8 hours of sleep all bubbly and took one look at me all bleary eyed and said 'Did you not get any sleep? I slept wonderfully, usually there is some guy next to me keeping me awake with his snoring' ..

It was all I could do to stop belting him.


To be honest though my biggest gripe is those people who turn their headphones up to full blast and then go to sleep leaving the rest of us to listen to it as well. On which subject there was a really funny occasion where a woman opposite had been tutting and moaning all through the night flight and in the end she leant over to her husband and complained about the constant music and she couldn't sleep. It was her headphones that where turned up!! Oh how I did laugh (but only to supress my wish to throttle her!)

My partner snores, and has been warned that there might be EC seats available on the flight, like at the back.

and not for me.

Snoring is a common thing on the UCS, just goes to show how good the bed is! its much more common these days than on the old J2000 seats.

Dont worry youre not alone, and sure wont be the first or last.... after all there are earplugs in the amenity kits... and with the engines on a 346 being so quiet at least they have a use

[oo]... to milehigh for toeing the corporate line.

I've never had a snoring problem, only a "feet hang over the end of the suite and get clipped by passing cabin crew and pax" problem.

I use the headphones with volume on medium in lieu of earplug where there is a snorer in the vacinity. I sleep with the tele on at home anyway so am fine with music playing.

I have seen my fellow passengers nudge snorers in the middle of the night in UCS.

Oh dear god I hope I can get some decent sleep on my flight this week! It I do it will be the first time, the suites aren't quite wide enough for my liking. I can only sleep on my side so its a bit more difficult.

I sleep on my side, and don't find a problem with the width of a suite. The problem I have is that they are not firmly or deeply enough padded (I'm a big guy) so my hip tends to feel sore and wake me up.

Here here. Do you think people really don't see the pinkies!

You could take the Pix approach (as witnessed on way over to SFO last year) and wear your Noise Cancelling headphones!

Not sure if that was to cure the problem being discussed or if it was so he didn't have to hear me bleat on about something (or was it because I was laughing so loudly at Little Britain [:I])

Thanks,
Richard

Cabin crew controlled golf balls that pop out of the top of the UCS mattress by seat number, on request ;)[y].

Does that mean it is time for a restriction of food intake?

Lessens the chance that you will add to the snore levels

As a person that has a mnor,well ok big snoring problem I do try and be a little considerate of others on planes,after trying many products I came across one called Natural Anti-Snore,from Walgreens,a few shots of it and no more snoring.

I think the fact that people do snore in UC is a credit to the seats and mattress and shows that people really are able to get more than just a fitful, restless sleep.[8D]
Having said that, I have seen some snorers in PE and Y;)
