1
Button all the buttons on your shirt.

2
Lay your shirt front side down on a flat surface, such as a table or a bed.

3
Smooth your shirt out so that it is lying flat. Position the sleeves so they are sitting naturally to the sides of the shirt (at a slight angle so there is no bunching in the armpits).

4
Lay a plastic garment bag or a medium-size trash bag lengthwise on top of the shirt.

5
Fold the sleeves over the edges of the plastic bag.

6
Roll the shirt up, starting at the bottom. Roll semi-tightly. Keep the arms flush against the back of the shirt as you roll.

7
Leave the collar sticking out at the top.

I was so close to not having anyone beside me on my flight. The guy walked right by at least 4 empty middle seats to sit in the one right next to me. It's the downside to being so sexy.

I love on SW when there's a husband and wife and one sits in the aisle and one on the window and then someone goes to take the middle seat and they ask if they can switch to sit together. NICE TRY DORKS!

Also, I mainly trash on SW because people go bonkers for them for stupid reasons. They are a good domestic carrier. I hate lining up for the cow line and hate that most flights are 50% small children but if it saves me a layover on the way to Vegas I'll take it.

I know they say that hanging clothes in a plastic bag in a packed closet will keep things from wrinkling, maybe it helps with rolled shirts too.

This is exactly how I feel. Midweek site visit in Portland? Delta, tyvm. Taking the kids to visit Aunt Patsy in El Paso? Southwest
