It is kind of nice to be flying a little again. Two trips so far this year, a couple more before the end of the year. I had a few years with tons of travel, over 30 flights a year, a couple of years in a row. It was fun, it was wearing. Half a dozen trips a year would probably be better.
When I was flying a lot, I was able to almost always get seats in the front of the plane. Sometimes upgrades to business class. A couple of memorable cross country trips in business class - you get warm nuts in business class.
My trip in July was booked at the last minute, and on an airline I have not flown a lot since moving to DC, and I was in far back. The last three rows had no one seated in them, I was just ahead of that, and both times the flight attendants asked me if I wanted move back a row and have the row to myself. Yes, bliss.
Dear, I get warm nuts anywhere I sit!!!!
ReplyDeleteI could never fly and travel as much as you did. I can't stand the feeling of living out of a suitcase. Unless of course Im in the same hotel for a few weeks.
Our September adventure is 5 hotels in 8 nights,
DeleteYes, bliss! But warm nuts aren't always welcome.
ReplyDeleteIt brings out the saltiness
DeleteI'm with Maddie,. I get warm nuts in coach, but then I wear looser pants and everything's fine.
ReplyDeleteI love getting a row to myself; Heaven!
In business class someone warms them for you
DeleteThat does sound like bliss. I spent 8 years doing consulting jobs with long term contracts. I was flying almost every week. I remember those days when I could get upgrades. I even flew to Europe twice in first class. Those were the days!
ReplyDeleteThe flight to Europe kill me.
DeleteIf I ever take another flight, it will be medivac and I will be unconscious. It must be nice to have a stranger warm your nuts, though.
ReplyDeleteI will write about my aunts medivac flight some day
DeleteI am a few hours away from going to the airport to fly to MI. I am again curious how we have such different attitudes to flying. I see it with dread with nothing nice about it. Angry ill-mannered crowds, cramped quarters usually next to someone or something vile, there is no end to the misery. I wish I had your more positive approach.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about attitude
DeleteWell, I see EVERYONE has beat me to the warm nuts jokes. That's what I get for being late to the party.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping people would catch that line
