Favorite: I love flying, and just about every aspect. From going somewhere, to listening to music the whole time, to the naps.

Least Favorite: People fricking touching my elbows and snoring.

Favorite: airports themselves. Love drinking at airport bars, people watching, and bullshitting with others. People will tell you anything at an airport bar, knowing that there's almost no way they'll see you again.

Least: how fricking cramped it is. Whenever I fly first class, I have a fine time, but I honestly have learned to hate flying because I hate how cramped it is in coach in many of these flights. I do it roughly every 2 weeks, so it's really started relatively recently.

This pisses me off as well. If I'm in no hurry, I take my time getting off the flight so people who actually have a major connection to make can make it. Plus if you've checked luggage, it's not as if you'll leave the airport any sooner.

Favorite: Less than full flights or seat upgrades.

Least: Everything else. But especially those bastards that jump in the aisle as soon as the plane stops. Only to stand over everyone for 10 minutes. Just sit there and wait your Goddamn turn, we have no where to go.

IF everyone just remained seated, those few with connection difficulty could get out and on their way.

Favorite: Physically being in the airport. I've always found them fascinating. Also, being able get door to door from my apartment in Dallas to my gf's in uptown NOLA in about 2.5 hours.

Least: TSA lines. Take your box of shite and get the frick out of the way. There is a designated area for you to put your shoes back on and repack your 57 large electronic devices that you brought for your weekend trip.

Favorite: sipping on bourbon & coke while either reading a book or enjoying a good movie.

Least: Landing in the middle of a thunderstorm.

A close second would be when some jackass kicks off their shoes and fills the cabin with the smell of their nasty feet.

Going thru security in Greenville last week a lady did this exact thing. I thought the carpet was rotten before I figured out what was going on.

Favorite - I just like walking around the airport. Something about it just seems liberating; I don't have much to worry about outside of getting to my destination.

Least - long TSA line and deplaning from the back of the aircraft.

Favorite- Seeing the weather from 30,000 feet in the sky, especially thunderstorms

Least favorite- I feel like I'm always waiting around, TSA, at the gate, connections, etc. That or middle seats...

Also, paging baconismeatcandy or golfer. Need help with some options for delta schedule changes...

favorite: people watching

least favorite: layovers on return flights, people running up the aisle as soon as the plane lands not allowing me to get up


also just how stupid the common person really is, it never ceases to amaze me the bullshite people do that is on display at airports, when it doesn't directly affect me watching it is my favorite part, when it does I am always baffled by the sheer stupidity.

Bingo!

But people do not give a shite about other people so this will never work.
