Bring Your Sense of Humor To An Upright Position

 

 

The Transportation Security Administration, and the airlines have managed to make travel completely fun-free, with the mile-long security lines, quart-sized bags, and the 3 oz. liquid item business. 

Conversely, a company called Airtoons is here, with their safety procedure t-shirts, to help you enjoy yourselves, even after your electronic devices have been turned off and put away.

 

 

 

In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, shirts like this will help you forget about impending doom.

 

And they have some advice as to what to do when your seatbelts are fastened low and about your waist,

 

 

Anything that helps us deal with turbulence, smelly seatmates,  or dismissive flight attendants is always welcome.  Just promise you won't wear them with Crocs.

On behalf of Holiday Golightly Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to see you on board again in the near future.



 

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Oftentimes, when having a Girlfriend Getaway in a far-off land, you and your girlfriends will have different flights into and out of the destination.  And sometimes, one of your girlfriends may have a wee bit more trouble in getting back home...and sometimes, her story is just so bad that you can't stop laughing at the fact that her experience went like this:

"My first 3 flights at London City were cancelled. They kept putting me on another flight and another.  There was ONE ticketing agent for KLM working (poor thing.)  

One guy freaked out and yelled at her and had two policemen with machine guns show up.  Oops. My *ss-kissing of the agent (which I was doing shamelessly) paid off because she put me on the direct BA flight (which she was not supposed to do).  But that flight was at HEATHROW.

(To revisit: London City is on the furthest SE side of London; Heathrow the furthest SW)

So I had to take 2 trains and 2 subways to Heathrow, which took two hours.

I got there, waited in a HUGE line only to be told that the jack*ss (I mean, nice lady) at London City didn’t ticket it correctly.  I had to go wait in another line at KLM to get ticketed correctly, then back to BA.  

I was just going to make it under the wire—cutting it really close.  Sweating, panicking. Got through security and to the gate (yay!) at which time they announced the flight was delayed. Then delayed again. Then delayed again--4 hours ultimately.  

Then they lost my bag."

And you're sitting there thinking "umm...well, my flight was delayed a half hour, and I had to wait to get my Diet Coke..."
