Flying

 I just paid for tickets for Randa to fly to Minnesota for a week.  What a hassle!  Commercials show folks smiling as they order tickets on line.  They may be smiling if they are using someone else's credit card.  Otherwise they would frowning, growling, even swearing.  

First:  Tickets are too expensive.   The differences in ticket prices because it's a different day, or a holiday is just wrong.  I know, hotels do it too.  It doesn't make it right.  

Second:  How many people can you cram into an aluminum cylinder? The seats might be ok if all passengers are under 5ft 7in and under 170 lbs.  Otherwise, not so much.  And then the passenger in front of you reclines.

Third:  Food  ( what food? )

Forth:  Added charges,  BAGGAGE CHARGES !  Who flies without baggage?   The charge for one carry-on was $61 per trip.  So the "added charges " was almost half of the "discount flight rate".

Again, I say Frowning, Growling, and..... 

If I had a choice, I'd drive.
