Carry ON

I know I have ranted about this before but because of this mornings experience, I feel it's worth mentioning again because people are not getting the hints.  You can only bring 2 things on the plane!  Ladies and some Guys, your purse is considered 1 of those 2 items, no matter how big or small.  Therefore, you can not bring your computer bag and roller bag with your purse.  I watched a woman argue with the flight attendant for more than 10 minutes this morning on this topic causing the plane to leave late.

Speaking of carry on's, folks, don't try to roll your bag down the aisle of the plane.  Pick it up and carry it.  The room for error is very small and the likelihood of you whacking someone in the knee is very high.  Plus, you look really silly when your bag catches the arm rest and throws you backwards.

Regional Jets are the new normal in flying.  Airlines are using them more and more because of efficiency and to limit supply of seats.  Therefore, your carry on that could easily hold a baby elephant will not fit in the overhead.  Check it and save yourself the embarrassment.



It's getting cold out which means everyone will be wearing coats again when traveling.  DO NOT PUT YOUR COAT IN THE OVERHEAD.  They take up to much space.  Hold it, put in the seat in front of you or here is a concept, leave it on.  It's kind of like my shoe argument, if it's that uncomfortable, don't wear it.

On a separate note, don't drink heavily in airport bars or take lots of medication before flying.  It doesn't end well for anyone.  I sat beside this lady on a recent flight. 

She was out cold for the majority of the  2+ hour flight and when she was awake, she was incoherent and made a fool of herself on more than one occasion.  She could hardly stand, speak and her bowel movements were out of control.  This was to the displeasure of myself and the people sitting beside us.  Take care of yourself before and during flights.

More to come soon!
