Recent flight on AA. Needed the restroom. Then drink service started. Got caught behind the cart. Young female flight attendant told me I’d have to wait until she got to my row – in the front to get past. The exit row with room for me was only 5 rows up. She wouldn’t move. I had to tell her I’d file a formal complaint and a suit against AA since I’m disabled and had to sit down. That worked. SO much for “service”. What has happened? Read a column today that AA employees describe the company as “toxic” -I’ll agree.
Last time we flew She booked with Frontier for the “low fares”. Yep, the fares were low – but that just lets you to the next page on the site. Then you pay for your seat, you, pay to select your seat (or let them assign it, and board last), you pay for your checked bag, you pay for your carry-on, you pay to check in; once on, you pay for your pretzels, you pay for your water – for what it could cost us, we could have flown on a real airline (which still sucks these days). Dern near could have gone 1st class…….
I am in favor of a federal law banning more than 2 seats in a row, and requiring at least 24" of seat width and 3’ of leg room. And at least 1 free checked bag (yeah, I’m old enough to remember when a coach ticket got you a comfortable seat, 2 checked bags, 2 drinks, and a meal. And, if I’m to be perfectly honest, I miss the attractive young women to pamper you, too :)).

Just flew Jet Blue (coach), and was pleasantly surprised. Still not like the old days, but better than some nowadays.

That’ll settle who gets the armrest. (They wouldn’t dare double sell it!)

I’d pick another flight. And upgrade to Economy Plus (extra leg room). I’m not a sardine.

Packed in oil or packed in water?

Airlines hire short, skinny people for their ads. “Welcome aboard Hobbit Airlines.”

God I hate flying. I hate airports even more.
