I don't fly very often, but I do everything I can do get a direct flight. It's worth any other inconvenience and the extra cost to me.

This x1000

TIL carry ons aren't for reasonable adults. You guys like to check bags and wait for luggage? Seems like fun

For a week long trip? Good luck finding a family of 3+ that can roll with carry on bags for everything.

For sure. I've been told dodint doesn't have kids though

Why would I want to drag luggage through an airport and then fight for bin space just to save $25?

I am not clogging up the gate, aisles, or bins to save a few dollars. You're welcome.

Good I wish there were more dodints (has anyone said that one before?) I do it even when it's free on Southwest. I'm off the plane and right onto my transportation. Baggage is a pain in the ass and unpredictable.

If I'm checking a big bag or golf clubs I'll just check my carry on though

I've never lost a bag. Maybe if I did it would change my opinion.

Not worried about losing it. Just the time waster of it all. They did break my driver once though

Carry on bag people are also the same people who immediately stand up in the aisle upon arriving at the gate. **** those people.

That is false

You are false

typically by the time I exit the plane, visit the restroom and make my way to baggage claim my bag is either waiting for me or it's just a few extra minutes, especially returning home since I live in Atlanta and usually walk from the Concourse rather than take the train.

Same for me, just not at PHL.

Hell yeah I stand up as soon as the seat belt sign goes off. My 6'4" ass is tired of jamming my knees into the 5'1" dickwad in front of me that tilted their seat back the whole flight.

ATL food/bar/things to do recomendations? @shoeshine boy ?

I'll be staying in the Peachtree Center area and attending a conference at the Georgia World Congress Center.

I love the world congress center. **** massive. Make sure you visit the Georgia Aquarium, especially if you’ve never been. Best aquarium in the entire country.

Leaving for Mexico City Saturday morning. Limited options left us stuck with American, which is just the worst. Flight itinerary has been changed twice in the past three months. Annoying but no major impact on the trip. Got this **** email earlier this morning.

You can move flights at no charge. If your plans are flexible, we have a few options you may consider.

This is an exclusive online offer that is limited to availability.

Don’t worry, you’re still on your original flight from PIT to MEX.

We’re looking for volunteers to move flights

You can move to a less busy flight at no charge

All offered flights are for Tuesday. You **** up your scheduling and are looking for volunteers to move flights and your offer is that I can change from Saturday to Tuesday and that I CAN DO IT FOR FREE? WHERE'S MY MONEY dodint? What the **** kind of garbage ass half assed **** ass airline is this? At least Spirit has the common decency to treat everyone like **** and not act like they're doing you a favor by offering you the chance to voluntarily **** yourself over.

American will always be the worst. There was an article the other day about how they’re severely short staffed, and thanks to covid, new pilots are behind because of training and school, so they’re at least a year away from making more headway. Add that to the fact that American pilots earn a good deal less than United and a few others, and here we are.

**** any airline that overbooks and then asks people to skip their flight for a different one.

Is c2i going to the peach bowl? Nice

I am not… I have a conference to attend in the spring. I would love to go to a big bowl game at some point in my life. Just not right now.

Front of the plane helps if you have a short connecting flight. Otherwise, you get off 5 minutes early, at the most?

On my recent flight from SFO to CLT, I sat next to a woman in her 20s/30s. Every little bump in turbulence and she completely freaked out. She would start this heavy breathing pattern to calm herself down. Felt bad for her. I don't think I've ever seen somebody so terrified of flying before.

When I went to Japan in 2009 the entire run from the Aleutian Islands down the Kamchatka Peninsula and into Honshu we were in 250 mph headwinds. It was a solid 2 hours of "this sucks" bumps. People were actually praying out loud. The winds weren't as bad down low, but it was still really bumpy. Then on landing, as we were in the ground effect we got hit with a sidewind blast that knocked us off alignment; 10' from the ground and I could see the runway centerline from my seat in the last row of a 777. It was the only actual dangerous part of the flight, and none of the pray people even acknowledged it. lol

Nearly all of our air travel is of the weekender variety, no more than 2 or 3 days of clothing; I'm not dealing with baggage claim for that. At Vegas, for example, we text my step-MIL that we've arrived, and by the time we de-plane and walk through the terminal and get to the passenger pickup she's already there waiting for us. So we're gone from the airport before checked bags even come down the chute.

And I don't stand until my row is ready to disembark.
