So we are off to the family reunion. And we are flying ---- coach. Yikes scary that. So we got on the plane and I sat down expecting to find the seat tight, but luckily it wasn't. In fact I fit in the seat just fine, it was the leg room that I had none of.
I have never felt so scrunched in my life. How do people do that? I hate coach. I tried it, and I hate it. I really don't think I could have done that for more then a couple of hours. I am seriously reevaluating whether or not I am going to fly coach ever again. I am lucky I didn't get a blood clot or some such thing. Blah.
But the seat belt did fit around me, and I did not need an extender, and the tray came down (yes in coach the tray is on the back of the seat in front of you.) Blah blah blah.
I used to have nightmares that I would get to the airport and not have my extender and I wouldn't fit into the seat and they would kick me off the plane and I would be stuck in whatever airport I ended up in. It is nice to know I don't have to fly first class, that it is a choice now, but not much of a choice.
So the weekend starts off, and my main concern of course is how am I going to handle the food situation. I checked my suitcase so I could bring my product along and when we got to the divey hotel I went looking for the refrigerator only to find the room had none. I had a bit of a hissy fit since I can't not abide those drinks warm/room temperature what have you. They are undrinkable unless they are cold. So we gave up the room for a room with a fridge. The room we got was even divier then the original room, but at least I had a fridge. But it wasn't the best "start".

So where are the trays in first class? Do they come down from the sky or something?
ReplyDeleteNo they are in the arm
ReplyDeleteHopefully T3 will be willing to fly coach for flights of under 2.5 hours in length. I think the "leg shortening" exercise/surgery won't be necessary.
ReplyDeleteTSH also thought it was a bit cramped, but the price differential left a nice cushion to pay to the "tables".
Dick & I have stayed at MUCH MUCH MUCH divier places than the Riviera. I thought the room wasn't so bad, but the hotel food was VERY bad.
