Airline travel thoughts

Random observations on my trek west to Montana:

1 Airport concourse shopping offers quite a variety for interested consumers. But has anyone ever actually purchased a 3-foot hovercraft before boarding a plane?

B) $9.99 for in-flight wi-fi is too much

III: I found it oddly specific when the TSA agent announced that marshmallow fluff could not be taken through the security checkpoint

    Delta, baby.

    And what do I have to do to get a ride in one of the little zippy cars?

    Or, preferably, to get to drive one?

    Jet Blue is great. Air Lingus (ireland) is a hilarious name for an airline.

    Yeah, I'm always rushing for my flight and I get so pissed when two fat old people are standing side by side with their giant carry-on bags on those things. GET OUT OF THE WAY! Christ, THEY are the ones that should be walking and getting some exercise! :lol:

    Flown US Airways twice and they lost my luggage both times. I like Frontier flown it a couple times. Overall impression of flying is it gets you their quick, but generally a royal pain in the ass with all the security and not comfortable.

    The volume of stuff people put in their carry on luggage is unbelievable.

    Afroannie could have left her bowling ball at home for this trip.

    That's what I thought when I was being helpful taking down her rolling suitcase from the storage bin, because she is so adorably petite that she can't reach it.

    Next thing I knew, I was pinned on the floor of the aisle, with a crew using a hydraulic jack to extricate me.

    I might be slightly exaggerating.

    At the airport waiting for my flight to Denver. Not going to arrive in Missoula until almost 9PM MT. It is what it is there.

    I'd rather trust myself with security at an airport in comparison to trusting the TSA.

    I have become guilty of this too since airlines charge for checked bags. I try to take everything in a carry on if I can. Have to get up at 4am tomorrow to head to the airport for San Fran, ugh. I'm hoping I don't get stuck next to a talker, I just want to get on the plane and hopefully go back to sleep. Not looking forward to the long day of travelling.
