I think I'm gonna hang out by the Delta gates and act all :gocho: before pretending I have to take a leak and sneaking into the SW cattle line

SW doesn't stick you on regional jets :cheers:

this is the f*cking stupidest thread in history. (although 42 is rescuing)

And they occasionally rap/rhyme the safety instructions.
However, we fly Delta and United exclusively these days. :gocho:

Did that exact flight last year. Pretty elite route.

Southwest has improved quite a bit. Biggest annoyance is the other passengers, but at least you get to choose who you sit by.
Back in the day they would just say "A GROUP GET IN LINE" and then rough ridin' everyone would get in line. Now they make you line up by number, which is much nicer.

yeah, SD is usually right-on about stuff, but he's way off the mark on this one. Southwest is by far the elite airline provider.

I'm 6'4". I got stuck on a regional jet from San Antonio to Detroit last month...that's basically Mexico to Canada. After I got off the flight, I wanted to go into a murderous Godzilla-esque rampage but I realized, hey, it was Detroit, somebody had already done it :runaway:
Regional jets = the opposite of elite. Plus, bags don't fly free on them :frown:

No offense to people who suck at flying (and thus, at life) but anyone who checks a bag for anything less than a 2 week trip shouldn't be discussing flying, airports or travel in general.

Sorry to ice your post here bro, but I often end up going north to Wisconsin for a week or a 10-day stint in the dead of winter because of family obligations. Because of my elite tallness, the trip requires not only some t-shirts and boxers but some bulky-ass sweatshirts, sweaters, and jeans (and we're talking like 2-3 of each at the very least because I'm not wearing the same crap every day). Oh, and don't forget my winter coat that is the size of Rhode Island but warm as hell. I'm not taking that damn thing on the plane with me, and the coat alone won't fit into a carry-on.
Hate to say it steve, but you = LTTWSLTACIQ (low traveling to what seems like the Arctic Circle IQ). I totally agree with your point if you're going to some crappy-ass state like Texas or something :lol:

I went to Inida for 21 days one time and fit the following into one bag:
150 CD (don't ask)
2 shovels (don't tell)
14 shirt
7 pants
3 pairs of shoes
2 ties
toiletries for 3 weeks
about 5 books
I am the king of packing. :cool:

Need better family planning - don't get involved with people that live more north than you (potential coastal exception). Told a girl from Alaska to eff off for this very reason once (not a true statement, was for very different reasons). Nonetheless, dodged a bullet there.

Hey sd, this month's Southwest magazine has like a 20 page spread on the eliteness of Omaha. Should enjoy.

All my family is originally from Omaha. Seems like a cool place. Except that I had to fly to Minneapolis to fly back to Texas from Omaha on like Northwest or whatever. Yet another reason why Southwest is elite, very few dumbass connections for dumbasses.

Yeah, and I hate going through DFW. It's basically O'Hare South, there's always a massive fuckup with bags/airplanes and a massive wait on the runway.* Sure, Love's a dump, but they know that and they get you out quick :love:

Always check bags. My wife demands on bringing her own hair dryer (hotel ones are never good enough I guess), and 5 different pairs of shoes.
Most people who don't check bags aren't super elite travelers. They are just dumbasses who have no consideration for those around them.
-
i never check a bag.
-
i never check a bag.
obv. super elite. Duh.
-
I usually don't check, but the main problem with the pay for bag check is all of the cheap dumbasses that bring enough stuff on the plane to fill 9 suitcases then get pissed and hold everyone else up when the overhead bins are full. Hate those people. HATE them. :chainsaw:
Southwest is ok :dunno:

best park about mhk AA flight: the DFW-MHK gate is filled w/people you know. it truly is a gathering of the elite of the elite mhk'ers

Flew Delta this weekend. Planes were full of folks who crammed their oversize carry-ons into the overhead bins to avoid the checked-bag fees. Flight attendants were exasperated.
Also received an unscheduled one-night stay in Memphis due to mechanical issues. Delta = :flush: .
-
I love Delta. Like a man loves a woman (no-homo) or another man (if-homo).

Absolutely hate these cheap ass people who won't check baggage. My wife suggested we do this on our flight down to Puerto Rico in a couple of weeks. I almost punched her in the face when she suggested it.

Has nothing to do with being cheap. I get free checked bags with Delta and will (hopefully) never check a bag.

Most people have/should check bags. Your crap isn't that important that you need to carry it on the god damned airplane with you.
Also have to check bags to bring back cheap bottles of liquor. :cool:

What does it have to do with? Not wanting to wait the extra 10 minutes to wait for your stuff? Not looking like a rube waiting for the conveyor belt to start? I sacrifice all of this stuff for the greater good.

Yeah, getting to the airport 30 minutes before my flight and getting into my rental car while people and their shitting kids are all standing around picking their asses waiting for their 7 bags to roll off the conveyor. I don't see any need to sacrifice anything, there is no downside.

I am going to rough ridin' lose it some day when one of these mouth breathers hits me in head with his rough ridin' bag that should be in the belly of the plane. Came very close to this happening in Cancun last November.

I understand wanting to avoid the conveyor. I truly do. You and your 1 bag that takes up very little space = no biggie. I don't mind the seasoned biz traveler and their well packed case.
It's the random dumbass family that feels the need to not check any baggage, which includes crap that is way too large for the bin yet they cram it in their anyways. I also get to wait behind these people in the security line, which sucks, because they do not adhere to TSA regulations and hold up the entire works.
I'm just saying - I sacrifice for the greater good. I feel like i'm doing a civic duty by checking luggage.

SW Flight Report:
Not as terrible as I had feared. Like most SW flights it was chock full of screaming kids but most had to sit in the very back because their parents are too dumb to check in 24 hours early and obv. need multiple seats together. Rolled my eyes so everyone could see when they announced that all military could board first because it was Memorial day weekend (did this primarily because it reminded me of fatty). Speaking of, I texted trips a picture of a diagram of DIA and he got it immediately. Also rolled my eyes really big when the flight attendant announced there would be no peanuts because one person on the flight had peanut allergies. I don't even eat peanuts but it felt like the right thing to do.

Man, the memorial day thing is awful.
Last time I traveled around memorial day they let military people get on first and leave first. When the military folk left a bunch of rubes started clapping for them like they just made it to the Elite 8 or something. Had to sit and wait through the entire spectacle.
This was on Delta, btw.
-

damnit, I'll talk to them

They can probably change the policy about letting them board/leave first but the clapping thing was instigated by the normal travelers. Don't know what they can do about that.
-
i used to not care about checking baggage either until the airline lost our luggage for thirty six hours on a three day vacation to the beach. yeah, i'll stop off at target so my wife can pick out a new swimming suit for the weekend on our way to the hotel. no problem. not like that's going to take an hour or anything.
:flush: :flush: :flush:

is there anything more elite feeling then strolling off the plane, bag on your shoulder and walking directly out to a waiting cab without even so much as farting near the people waiting for their crap checked bags?
(LAX is the best for this, I'm a huge LAX fan). i can literally be off the plane and in a cab line within 2 minutes and driving up the PCH. feels so damned elite.

the seasoned biz travelers are often the worst offenders. especially when they fill the bin w/ laptop bags and overcoats.
-
Nine times out of ten I'm heading somewhere I don't need more than I can fit in my backpack. Usually I have room to pack for two or three people's things in there. And I keep it under the seat in front of me. I don't really even like having to wait to pull something out of the over head compartments.
-
i love the fact that there are people here blaming the travelers for the airlines not enforcing their own rules. :lol:
i'm going to do whatever teh eff the airline lets me. if they say i can try to fly the aircraft then i'm going to be in the cabin trying to do loops and crap.
-
Southwest can suck on it.
I remeber reading an article in Wired magazine a couple of years back talking about how Texas was interested in getting high speed rail to connect Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, that was until southwest came in with their "cattle call rates" and helped kill the rail idea.

It's, 100% of the time, Mom and Pop Western Nebraska with their diaper bag, kids toy bag, personal backpack for each child, and their personal dvd player POS that they play, not with headphones, but out loud so everyone can hear it because their shitting kid can't wear headphones. The same people that hold up the security line and same people that hold up everyone exiting the plane so they can unstrap their monster rough ridin' kid buggy.

I don't think over-ears would be much better for travel unless you got into like the $200 range or so. waste of money at that point. still use 'em.

no, it's not perfectly reasonable to blame both. the airlines know how much room they have on their planes and the rejects at the gates need to stop you from bringing on more than it can handle. suck it.

The Southwest flight I just got back from (between Houston and Dallas) smelled like piss. Thick syrupy warm piss.
:frown:
Sounds like a great flight. Glad you had fun.

is there anything more elite feeling then strolling off the plan, bag on your shoulder and walking directly out to a waiting cab without even so much as farting near the people waiting for their crap checked bags?
(LAX is the best for this, I'm a huge LAX fan). i can literally be off the plane and in a cab line within 2 minutes and driving up the PCH. feels so damned elite.
yeah, I can't really agree more than I am agreeing right now at this very moment
Wonderful experience. You don't even need a driver's license.
If you fly into OKC, you don't even need a hotel either. They house you for free.

i'm going to do whatever teh eff the airline lets me. if they say i can try to fly the aircraft then i'm going to be in the cabin trying to do loops and crap.
There are no rules for lots of things on this world but we follow the "unwritten rules" to be decent to one another. THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!

I understand wanting to avoid the conveyor. I truly do. You and your 1 bag that takes up very little space = no biggie. I don't mind the seasoned biz traveler and their well packed case.
the seasoned biz travelers are often the worst offenders. especially when they fill the bin w/ laptop bags and overcoats.
It's, 100% of the time, Mom and Pop Western Nebraska with their diaper bag, kids toy bag, personal backpack for each child, and their personal dvd player POS that they play, not with headphones, but out loud so everyone can hear it because their shitting kid can't wear headphones. The same people that hold up the security line and same people that hold up everyone exiting the plane so they can unstrap their monster fracking kid buggy.
agree w/ everything, but you need to invest in some headphones.
Yeah, I need some better ones. But, I will still be infuriated knowing it's going on.
I get the best sleep of my life on airplanes, regardless of what is going on. Something about the movement of the plane, the sound of the engines and the little twist-knob that you can turn to get air blown on your face just puts me to sleep nearly immediately.

Usually do just this, but scratch the cab for a [insert rental car company name] bus. :embarrassed:

What did you expect? Houston is the armpit of The Republic of Texas. Hate going to that dump. Would rather spend a weeend dodging AK-47 fire in El Paso

Not a bad idea...I'll see if they're in town. Seeing Mater on ice was just :lol:
BTW, Mrs. 1/64th just informed me that we are actually flying United, not Delta. Sorry.
