I'd rather overhear a conversation about Jimmy's soccer coach than have to be part of a conversation about Jimmy's soccer coach because the person has no one else to talk to for the entire flight.

Good point.

flying from st louis back to chicago in about three hours. sold out flight, had to pick the middle seat and watch... i get the salad/mcdonalds jackass to my right and cell phone guy to my left.

noise cancelling headphones are key, but what to do about the smell...

thankfully it's only about a 50 minute flight.

Alright, I got the pre-takeoff phone lady. "Oh my god, that stand by thing worked! I am on the 5:30 back to Chicago. Isle seat though. Hahahaha, yeah I got the isle." :fp:

Then she lost more respect when she started playing candy crush full volume. But gained respect for slamming three vodka tonics on a 45 minute flight. She was a tough one to figure out.

Wait. She lucked out with a standby ticket and got the aisle, sticking you with the middle? How does that happen?

do you really think that this gonna make more people make voice calls tho? I kind of figured it would leave the plane quieter because everyone would be checking their email/fakebook/pjforums/reservations/etc.
