Travel Observations

I’ve been traveling an incredible amount these last 9 days and I’ve made a few observations on my 18 flights on 3 different airlines…

- While I appreciate the satellite radio on United Airlines, they probably should avoid hits like, “It’s the end of the world as we know it.”. Another odd selection – “Country Roads” by John Denver.

- If someone passed gas on a crowded flight, they should be thrown off mid-flight.

- If the previous does happen, turn the little air blower on your face on full blast.

- Similarly, using the bathroom on a flight less than 45 minutes in length should be prohibited.

- If your stop/layover is less than 8 hours long, they send your bags on to the next destination… Even if you need your clothes for the hotel on your 7 hour layover.

- Delta and Northwest Airlines said they merged, but really haven’t… Other than when you think you’re flying one, you could be flying the other.

- Reclining your seat should be done slowly… You just took 8-10 inches of someone’s precious little personal space away… Ease into it.

- If you’re unlucky enough to get stuck in the middle seat, you deserve to use both armrests.

- If you’re walking through the terminal with you Bluetooth headset, you just look like a crazy person talking to themselves. Don’t be surprised when security is alerted.

- There’s a fine line between people watching in the terminal and being the spooky guy in the corner eyeing everyone walking by.

- Does the Homeland Security threat level ever drop to green? I think not.

These are just a few of the thing I picked up during my crazy travels… Feel free to add to the list if you have any interesting travel observations.
