Have I mentioned that I hate flying? I'm betting that's likely a path you don't want to get started down. Guys like jsharr - all muscle that takes up a lot of room - would be paying twice what I would. Why would we want that to happen? Kids would be CHEAP, and that might mean babies - CRYING & STINKY babies - would be everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted October 18, 2019 Share #12 Posted October 18, 2019 Why do you hate people with an obvious disability? And let's be honest, the seats on planes have gotten so small and cramped that a normal person barely fits in them anymore. I have a hell of a time because I get punished for having long legs.

OW! ? FWIW I am larger than the 5'9" / 170 pound standard the airlines use to calculate seating, but WTaH is wrong with some people? I had a coworker get a guy next to him who had to use 2 seat belt extenders. The guy was prepared, though, he brought his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted October 18, 2019 Share #17 Posted October 18, 2019 If enough people assert themselves with this airline situation, maybe we can get some changes made. Arrive early for seat. Put the arm thing down, and have your arm on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be criminal. Seriously. You have to take a 15 hour flight in one of the new 17" seats at elevated Chinese style cabin temperatures to really appreciate that attitude. But you have to know that the answer will be higher air fares for all if the seating capacity goes down. In 1999 a ticket from Hartford CT to Orlando FL could be purchased for $99 each way. A business priced ticket purchased at the last moment was $700. You can pick your poison, a bigger seat or a smaller wallet. It's not all for profit. And don't ask about reduced maintenance on the planes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no way I could have put it down without injuring him. I lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted October 18, 2019 Share #20 Posted October 18, 2019 When daughter was going through cancer treatments, I would drive to PHX area, WoW would fly on her turn. Cost overall wasn't much different. Even long days in the car were less stressful than dealing with airline BS. And I got to spend time in Albuquerque with some fantastic people! We will probably fly there this winter for a few days with the kids. The flying is simply because you can't plan for weather being drive friendly in the winter and WoW May not have the extra time off available. If it's too bad, maybe I will buy a car and drive back! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted October 18, 2019 Share #21 Posted October 18, 2019 When my wife's company made her fly out to Cali last spring, she told them business class (first class) or they could get rid of her. They flew her out on business class, she wasn't about to deal with those tiny seats, even with that though, it cured her of bugging me about flying somewhere because the airport experience was still miserable. Though apparently in Burbank, first class/business class has their own no wait security line. She found that out after waiting 30 minutes in the security line and screener told her, she was like, geez, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #43 Posted October 22, 2019 I got lucky. They stuffed us on the plane, since they charge you to check any bag, everyone brings 9 bags on board with them. Mine is stuffed under my feet, so nowhere to put my feet. At least the guy next to me is normal sized They get us on the plane, pull away from the gate, then say they'll be an hour delay.
