Woman dragged off Delta flight

I may dislike Allegiant/Spirit/Frontier/etal but they do seem to be cheaper and have passengers who are stoic to their condition.

If one wants comfort and convenience-pay for it.
If one wants cheap and cheaper, you get cheap and cheaper.

The free market will eventually correct any misalignments with the provider and consumer.
Happy flying.

The worst people in the world always seem to be prolific carry-on'ers. It's like their mental baggage is matched only by their physical baggage.

Brian Regan has a side-splittingly funny bit about the annoyances of airline travel - which is 99% caused by the other passengers.

He's going to go to the hospital shortly to treat his hernia.

Well, that was certainly undignified!


But I am absolutely astounded that someone was actually held accountable for their behavior. A miracle.

They need to come up with very safe non habit forming anesthetics or temporary hibernation. Forget the video screens....for coach I guess. Just put everybody to bed and load them in the tubes. For crashes i saw some sketch somewhere that envisioned planes like cargo lifts where the passengers were in a discrete compartment with parachutes away from the fuel and engines and pilots.

Brilliant way to put it, PP. You might have caught onto something there. I'll have to start noticing if it carries over to little guys who get out of giant trucks & women who carry enormous handbags.

That was very funny. I adore Brian. BTW, his brother Dennis is also a standup & often opens for him, if you haven't seen his standup. He's okay... similar observational comedy bits, but completely different delivery. Thanks for the clip.

If you have valuable items like jewelry or electronics then put it in your purse/laptop bag or other type of larger bag. Then have your overnight bag with your precious 8 ounces of shampoo stored beneath the plane by handing it off to the guy at the bottom of the boarding bridge. It'll be there waiting for you as you get off.

I never exceed them, but I do cram my regulation carry-on to its limits. If you have ever been stuck in an airport for more than 24 hours having to endure one delay after another followed (eventually) by a cancellation, while going through the hassle of numerous rebookings (yes, I was a victim of last August's Delta fiasco) -- and not knowing if your checked luggage would be there when you finally reached your destination -- then, yes, you might also be tempted to put two or three outfits in your "overnight" bag!
