Boeing 777 - Not Far From Heaven

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I really don't understand why you need to have a cargo space on passenger airplanes...

a) If you travel for 2 weeks it is enough to carry as much luggage as your hand luggage can be in the spacious stovage bins...
b) If you travel for a month you can use the service of the laundry and the dry-cleaner of your hotel...
c) If you travel for 3 or 6 months you have to buy new clothes in the remote country where you are staying...

The custom of traveling with huge suitcases must originate from the experience of ocean-liners where you spend at least 1 week with traveling and you even have to represent... As detailed above airplanes are different...

Now if you got rid of the ballast of the cargo space airplanes could be significantly faster, more fuel efficient and they could have a longer range... In order to keep the weight of the Boeing 777 at an optimum I could imagine berths below the main deck: this solution would be luxurious but it wouldn't increase the number of the passengers and so the weight of the aircraft... However you could possibly also import solutions designed for the lower passenger deck of the new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental if these solutions are not too heavy...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
