Lets not forget about those bald men out there! Where is their bald avatar?!

Came looking for Trump recommendation... was not disappointed!

Just call the airline with your confirmation number and ask about seating - reservations agents have the power to assign seats at most airlines. If they can’t, just wait until you get to the airport - some airlines block seats for just that reason.

Except the families that don’t make it to the gate until after that boarding opportunity has passed - they get pissed

I think some of it is situational. My phone is very likely to be low if I just came off a long flight. Since most of my travel is for business, and I often want to just get to the hotel or wherever I am headed, I may be more inclined to pay a higher rate, just so I don’t have to wait that possibly 30 minutes until…

I agree, part of this lies on airline schedules. Passengers want to travel to certain destinations at certain times of day (especially destinations that are within a 2 hour flight and see a lot are large business areas like the Bay Area for Tech Industry and NYC for everything, and Vegas for conventions and…

As someone who works in an airport and travels a fair amount, I would have to say that it seems that TSA cut a lot of people late last fall. The airport that I work stopped staffing the pre-check line most of the time and I stopped seeing a lot of TSA folks that I used to see on my daily walks around the airport. I…

... But you need to finish it before you are screened or else they will take it away...

There are some airports that advertise Pre Check, but they can’t staff the lines except for about an hour a day, sometimes. They still let you go through the precheck line, let you keep your shoes on, and you go through the metal detector, but you have to take out laptops and liquids, and you are in a line where…

The TSA often doesn’t open their lines at the same time as the ticket counter. This isn’t surprising, especially with everyone being told to show up exceptionally early, likely creating a backlog waiting for the check point to open. At worst, the people at the front may have been waiting aboutan hour since opening the…

JetBlue boards by row - back to front.

Those people are the worst, most inconsiderate, scum of the universe!

Generally... a typical boarding process for planes with about 150 seats is around 30 minutes from start to departure.

As someone who flies a lot of airlines... SWA seats are narrow... I almost always end up sitting in a middle seat with the thighs of those sitting next to me touching me... my hips and thighs fit within my seat and I don’t have this issue on other airlines... Nothing like getting on a plane in the summer in Phoenix to…

While there are a few airlines that go crazy with fees (I’m looking at you, Spirit), I would say the majority of them do not. Everyone who travels more than never knows, almost every airline charges for checked bags. Sure, airlines do make more than the additional cost of fuel. People also like to demand lower airfare…

Checking in bags makes boarding easier, but try to check a bag on Southwest first thing in the morning... their line in places like San Diego and Phoenix in the morning takes at least an hour to get through- probably longer. Flying out of San Diego on the first flight on numerous occasions, I have seen a TON of people…
