skinnyshrek 0 #1 July 17, 2007 Man, i have just got back from nebraska. Had to take a few flights there and back. i feel as tired as i do on an international flight. How do you regulars like krissane do this? On a side note. The peeps out west are very friendly. the air is different also. Makes for faster landingshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

Morrison79 0 #2 July 17, 2007 You get used to it. I usually fly at least twice a week. Typically from Michigan to california or to mexico. Get a good set of noise cancelling headphones and an i-pod, then just go to sleep for the flight. Unless you get upgraded to first class than you can drink your ass off for free!

skymama 37 #3 July 17, 2007 Quote Unless you get upgraded to first class than you can drink your ass off for free! I was in Coach for my flight from London to FL last week. I could see the movies but I had no audio. They gave me all the wine I wanted to make up for it which was cool because I wasn't really that interested in the movies anyway! I'd hate to be a regular flyer too. You get there early and go through the security check only to find that your flight was delayed or cancelled. And there are stinky people on the planes! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaM 0 #5 July 17, 2007 Went to pick my son up from the airport Sunday. Not only were they a half hour early but the lines were super long!!! He called me from his cell "mom, we're here where are you" as i was bolting to the LAST gate in the terminal. Flight attendant saw me bouncing around people. Yet last Friday, my husband's flight was 2 hours late. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #7 July 17, 2007 You got lucky with your son's flight being early. Out of the 6 flights I had on my vacation, 1 was cancelled (which cost us a day in Paris! ) and the other 5 were late. Those were all on American, which I heard on the news today was the worst airlines for being on time now. It figures.
