    I think you're making too much of it.

    I just flew home from LA in premium economy with virgin Australia. ive now decided I will always fly premium economy(bigger, more comfortable seats). it costs more but itll be worth it to not have to listen to the whiny bitches in economy. :P

    If they made their seats more bloody comfortable and didn't pack everyone in like freaking sardines it would help too. Plus if they are going to charge people more if they weigh more the least they can do is charge the guy with the cheesy feet and the bloke that smells like pickles more too!
    I swear I get that pickle man on every flight! :x

    The worse thing on a flight though is the poor person who is sick.
    Flying home from Milwaukee I was feverish, so weak, crying up a storm,
    holding an awful cough in ...
    it was torturous. My ears so plugged hurt really bad. JB was next to me though to comfort
    and we had a free seat in our threesome, thank goodness.

    I don't remember in a lifetime of flying being so uncomfortable. Never again will I
    curse someone who is not well on one of my flights. It's the icing on the cake to be
    that one on a plane. I pray I got no one sick, this has been a terrible infection.

    Yeah, shoes should be mandatory on flights. So sick of people thinking the airplane is their living room. It's f'n disgusting!

    Yeah, being sick on a plane is no fun at all! About a year ago I got food poisoning and it literally hit as I was standing in line to board my flight to San Antonio (from Phoenix). The longest 2-2.5 hours of my life! My body was literally shutting down. Cold sweats, stomach felt like it had razors in it, thought I was going to throw up. Was AWFUL! Couldn't get off that plane faster!
    I do feel bad for people who have to fly while sick...that said, I despise people who fly with nasty colds, the flu or anything else that is highly infectious. It always seems like they are right next to me...coughing and sneezing all over the place. :x :lol:

    Even if your feet are clean and you are a professional foot model, nobody should take their shoes off on a plane. :lol:
    Not only are feet disgusting, but why would someone want to expose themselves to the dirty, disgusting plane floor?
    A dude a few months back (he was a row up and across the aisle from me) took his shoes off the second he sat down. Stunk up the place! He then would walk around the cabin and GO TO THE BATHROOM without shoes. :shock: F''n SICK!

    Why do you take your shoes off? Are your feet hot? Are your shoes uncomfortable? Do you not care that everyone around you immediately hates you when you do that? :lol:
