I definitely agree. Normally they give you a tour of the cockpit on your first flight if it's special, not let you rock the plane the entire way there. :P

Though I wouldn't want to live through most of them.
I think I don't have a single unpleasant travel story, but dozens of happy ones. Last year, on my flight home from the Brokeback BBQ in Estes Park, I was caught for a full extra day in Philadelphia. I had really bad Brokie withdrawl, I missed the Brokies so much. But at the end of the flight to Philadelphia, when it was clear that we wouldn't reach our connecting flights, the girl next to me and I got into talkin 'n all. Later a young man joined us and we three stayed together the next one and a half days. We chatted in the bar of our hotel till the wee hours of morning, then met again for breakfast the next day and just stuck together. Luckily, on our flight to Frankfurt, the seat next to him was empty so he and I spend nine more hours together (the girl flew to another destination).
You wouldn't believe how much fun one can have waiting for five hours in an airport terminal :laugh:.

After our Brussels Brokie meet I had the same thing Chrissi - I spent a fairly fun 8-12 hrs with this guy who had been waiting in the queue behind me on the Sunday night and then I met again on the Monday morning. We ended up on the same flights home so it was quite fun, we pooled out food tockens together and bught the most enourmous amount of shit in the cafe. And then we tried to sneak into the business lounge wth no luck! :laugh:

with over 10 million miles of flying, the seat back kicking is the worst...and it's definitely not just kids. Adults are more often the culprits. A woman behind me, once, was almost at war with the back of my seat. When I turned and asked her politely to kindly refrain from too much pushing and knocking my seat, she sneared "It goes with the territory".
A huge annoyance that was not on the list are the girls with long hair or ponytails who are sitting in front of you and continuously flip their hair over the back of their seat into your face. The action is repeated nearly every 3-4 minutes like a nervous habit. If scissors were only allowed on board! ;)

Somehow, this seemed more gross than even the farting, throw-up and excrement posts to me, and when I read your post, I suddenly started sneezing!!
