if you need to smuggle something do it on a 5 or 6 am redeye, security does not want to be there any more than you do

bring a little inflatable neck pillow. sometimes you could get a seat that has terrible cushioning or some sort of violent bar-to-rear end situation. clothes don’t make great cushions. on that note those goofy neck pillows are tight.

If there’s a screaming baby and over 50% of the passengers complain by FAA law they have to shut the baby in an overhead bin until it quiets down or the end of the flight.

- When traveling with young kids, give up on movies, music, and hot meals in advance. Then, be delighted when you get time to enjoy these things. - Bring analog entertainment like sticker books and those mess-free Color Magic books. - Watch movies with subtitles and no headphones if you need to stay alert for kid stuff. - Get your own dang drink from the kitchenette on long flights.

If you’re flying into Vegas the flight personnel will announce as soon as you’ve crossed into Nevada airspace so that any passenger interested in performing sex acts for money can commence doing so.

My recommendation for flying is don't. Alternately if you have to, do it as often and as bougie as possible and get pre check and airline status and lord your free seat with 3 inches of legroom and a free shot over all the poors. Real recommendation if you don't have to be at a specific place, you can get some sweet deals buying seats a day ahead or day of flight. Often have cheap seats, and you will often end up in one of the roomoer seats as they are the last seats to sell out and you can get them by default.

I go straight to my gate after getting through security. Basically just to make sure I know exactly where it is and how to get there and also to make sure its the correct gate or if its delayed or whatever. Then I will backtrack and go to a bar/restaurant or wherever. This is especially good in airports you aren't famlilar with. If you are on a hours long layover search out a nice out-of-the-way spot to set up camp. A lot of airports have funky little areas that are deserted or much quieter. I sprawl out on the floor next to a power outlet usually.

When my son was four we were on a flight from LAX to DFW he had a rough time most of the flight. Then when we landed and we couldn't immediately get off the plane he lost his poo poo and had a full on meltdown. I was sweating and in full on panic mode over the situation. Then when the plane started to empty out, a guy about ten rows up walked down and told everyone between us and the exit to hold on so we could get off the plane and get my kid settled down. I almost started crying. My son is 8 now and he's a great flyer and traveler in general but every time I've been on a plane since then I think about that guy and how awesome he was.

Seconding slippers for long-hauls. They give them out in first-class, but it's easy enough to bring some of your own. Nothing beats slipping your shoes back on at the end of the flight and having fresh feeling feet. The night before a big flight I'll often order pizza for dinner and save a few slices in the fridge. They're a great snack for the plane, and much quicker and cheaper than any food you could buy onboard or at the airport. Another thing I noticed on the United 787 Dreamliner (probably true in all 787s) is that the power outlet is quite loose, and has a very difficult time supporting the weight of my Macbook's power adapter. It might be a good idea to bring a short extension cord so that the adapter can sit on the floor instead of hanging off the plug.

Refer to the person who operates the plane as the driver, it's called an Airbus for a reason and they don't have time for your "captain" bullshit.

Got stuck in the middle of a family of 6 sitting in 4 seats. From Right to left: Mom (with child on lap), Outrail, aisle, Son, Daughter (with other child on lap), Dad. 12 hour flight and they did not stop screaming for a second. They had to keep passing the kids back and forth and couldn't reach over me and the aisle obviously so every hour or so I get nudged from my bleary eyed stupor to pass this year old baby back and forth. I wouldn't have minded if they shut up for five minutes but what if I dropped one into the aisle? After the second round of pass the baby I asked the dad if he wanted to switch with me so I wasn't in the middle of his family but he claimed he didn't want me sitting next to his daughter. I think he just a lazy poo poo who didn't want to deal with his squalling kids.

Jay_Zombie posted:6' 4" here, long legs and big feet. My knees hit everything all the time. I'm around there and most of it is legs, was on a flight where I was in a window seat and sitting next to a stranger so I couldn't really spread my legs out or put em in the aisle, and the person in front of me kept trying to futility push their seat back against my knees. Like literally slamming back with their body before peering between the seats to glare at me. It's like lady I wish I had telescoping legs and could help ya out here but ain't poo poo I can do, blame the airline not me. Besides it's not like you get much of a recline anyways, I don't even know why they have that feature outside of first class.

AMEX no longer includes restaurants, only lounges in their priority pass offering. The upswing is access to Centurion but their footprint is lacking. This may or may not factor into you depending on your travel requirements. If you only fly to airports with centurions than go hog wild I much prefer the CSR PP because the airports I spend time in have alot of independent restaurant offerings I would not receive if I had an AMEX and I dont find the centurion footprint compelling. I also dont get to choose my itinerary all the time so the CSR is more flexible for me.

MarcusSA posted:The budget airlines (spirit) do this already. yeah i'll never use spirit or frontier. alaskan/virgin or jetblue is cheap enough without feeling too nickle and dimed and still reasonably good seats. but it seems like something that would alleviate everyone just trying to bumrush the first-group or w/e because carry-on space gets too limited; especially since it pretty closely tracks 3-bags per bin per 3 row of seats anyways.

What the hell is up with couples who intentionally choose the aisle and window seats but still act like they’re sitting right next to each other, i.e. passing things back and forth and carrying on a conversation the whole time. gently caress you, either take the middle seat or have the decency to ignore each other for the flight.

I think they're strategically hoping no one picks the middle seat so they have the whole row to themselves.

That’s what I figure but I can’t remember the last time I was on a flight that wasn’t at least 98% full or something. I’m usually flying during busy times too so I don’t know why anyone would bet on an empty seat. The last time this happened I was able to get one of them to switch with me an hour in though at least.

What? People prefer aisle seats. Middle seats are the ones people don't want. On the aisle you can come and go as you please and don't have to worry about others. You might have to get up for someone every so often but that's a good thing. Especially on long flights.

I saw some huge guy with an open seat next to him and thoughtlessly thought, "he looks cool, I'll sit next to him." The flight attendant saw the huge shoulder issue and suggested I sit next to some lady in the back row. The lady declares, "I don't want him sitting next to me!" I shout, "Good, I love a challenge!" Then squeeze in next to her. Turns out she was just kidding and we spend the whole flight doing shots and talking about football. Cool flight.
