So true these check in staff have bad attitudes. I could understand if the overweight fees went into their pockets, but it doesn’t. No they embarrass people making them take out a pair of jeans or shoes in front of the other passengers just because their bag is a pound or two over. They need a serious adjustment or class in hospitality infact the airline industry needs a complete overhaul. But the Nancy Grace was a nice touch and made it a very, very funny post.

If you believe in karma as I do, so when I get a person on the phone, or meet them in person, and most especially at the ticket counter at the airport and they treat me bad for no reason I tell them my wish for them is to be treat the same way by someone else, plain and simple. If everyone will do that, I think they will think twice about being rude to customers.

I hate, hate, HATE all the fees we have to pay to fly. Its just not right. I have to go into debt to take a decent vacation with my family. Enough already as my kids say something needs to be done.

What a fantastic post! I laughed till my cheeks hurt. I just loved reading it. Loved the camel play on words, TSA (This Shit Again), the food price gouging and just about everything about this one. A great way to end my night. Great, great blog and fabulous true account of travel these days. A fan.

To Harold P and your sexist comment. Missing the beautiful flight attendants from before just shows that you are a loser. I’m sure you must be ugly like hell to say such a stupid goofy thing like that. Get a life. To Allison, you did a great job on this post but there must be a way to delete stupid comments from people like hairy harry. ugh!

Any time I purchase an E ticket I get pulled over for further checking especially if I change my flight schedule. It’s just somehting I noticed.

I had a strange experience going through security the ohter day. I kept beeping and beeping. I took out my belt, shoes, keys, everything. So I had to get the wand like your mama did. It was my gold tooth! Go figure. They all laughed, but I wasn’t laughing. Afterward when I sat on the plane, I cracked up and everyone looked at me like I was going mad. But then I really saw how funny that was. I wasn’t treated bad or anything they were doing their job. I just wanted to give you a holler, share my funny story and tell you I like your blog.

I’ve got news for you Allison, your “million-mile, lifetime gold membership” means absolutely nothing these days, courtesy of airline scamming. Get over it.

I do not like flying and I sure as hell do not like any of the airlines. They are all the same scammers.
