Airline travel is like greyhound bus


The worst deep-south & boarder bus station airport in my experience is Houston International B concourse where United moves travelers on and off regional United Express. It's fresh in my memory, through there last night.

Pay attention when it's time to get off of the plane. The majority won't need a wheelchair.


I fly often for work and have discussed this phenomenon with both United and Southwest attendants and pilots. At Southwest they call it the "southwest miracle" while United refers to it as "jetway Jesus".

They do that to board early. My personal opinion is that they should be denied bringing multiple carry ons. They are an annoying class of people. Most abused in flights going to and from Miami IMO.

Prevalent on Southwest. "Family" of wheelchair passengers get to board early also.


I’ve never once flown Southwest. I really don’t get why anyone does. Everything I read, makes it sound less and less appealing. For the most part because of what airlines service where I live and fly most I only fly AA or United domestically.
