Last night flying back I actually had a good flight. Usually when you get the “how was the flight?”, the answer, just so you don’t have to really think would be “it was good.” I’ve decided to give some highs and lows (forgive the pun) of my airline experience purely for entertainment value as well as trying to offer a more detailed answer for anyone who cares… or maybe just because I wanted to do a lighter blog today.

High: No lines at airport

Low: I wore sandals and had to walk on the disease-ridden, fungal-infected floor with my bare-feet through the security scan (Yuck – double Yuck) 

High: Got there early and lots of comfy seats at the gate

Low: Incoming flight was delayed (it was stuck in Tampa due to bad weather)

High: Southwest serves soda and snacks at gate because of delay (WOW!!!)

Low: I really wanted the whole can of Coke :-(

High: Pilot decided to re-route another plane and get us out early so we didn’t have to wait longer

Low: Stuck in the middle of two large-boned people 

High: Crew was slap-happy and poked fun at each other (e.g. Announced – that we should contact the crew member in the back and ask him for lots of things during the flight)

Low: People kept buzzing the flight attendant call button – first five were funny, next fifteen got me irritated

High: Pilot was a woman and flew fast, just like some female drivers I know :-)

Low: Lady next to me spilled wine all over (claimed the ride was too bumpy)

High: Met by my friend at the airport and we got home safely

Low: Due to delay, my kids were already asleep 

High: I’m glad I am home with Connie and my boys 

Low: I miss my mom and siblings already.
