Now it’s true that I haven’t flown anywhere in a while- a long while. The last time I was on a really long flight in fact, they actually served food- real food; that they didn’t collect for when they took your order.
I’m sure there have been changes. Do I need to buy a hat and a pair of gloves so I’ll be appropriately attired?
It hasn’t really been quite that long. But I have noticed in the media the past few years all the hub-bub over meals on planes. It seems that most carriers have all but eliminated them, especially on the shorter flights, especially in coach, AKA the cattle car.
Anyway, I read today that U.S. Airways was bucking this trend by not only serving a high protein, low fat snack, but doing it for free! All the passengers needed to do was be alert! See for yourself-
Rumor has it though that packs of cocktail sauce and crackers were being sold for $1.99.
The barf bags, as always are free.
Now, all together AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!
The airline said that a passenger left raw meat in the overhead bin.
Now, assuming that said passenger didn’t bring raw meat already infested with maggots onto the plane, (I mean who in their right mind would do that anyway?), the meat was in that overhead bin for at least 8-12 hours with no one the wiser.

This incident has me rethinking my upcoming flight. Should I wear a full poncho w/hood while in my seat or just sit with a small umbrella over my head?
We flew Southwest recently to Texas from Florida. We barely made the flight and didn’t get to sit together. My husband blamed it on me. I don’t know why.
Was it my fault I lost my drivers license??
Anyway, I did have a temporary license, without a picture. And my fingerprint card from my mortgage brokers license. And an old drivers license from 10 years ago when I was really cute (I want them to use that pic in when I get a new license), and a copy of my real estate license with my picture on it, and a certified copy of my marriage license.
They almost let me on. Until they found the wine key in my purse. You should have seen my husbands eyes roll. My 5 year old didn’t cry until my husband said Mommy was going to have to stay behind.
Well, realizing I wasn’t a bad person, the Department of Homeland Security let me on the plane. There were 3 seats left. All in different places. As we looked for a place for my son, my husband was warning people that my 5 year old can projectile vomit.
That did the trick. Conor and I sat together. And my husband seemed very happy sitting with complete strangers. Wonder why that is?
Kathryn you must like living on the edge, trying to sneak by TSA with a wine key just so you could save money on your wine. You are wild! Actually, I’m surprised they just didn’t confiscate your “weapon” and let you go about your way without any more BS.
What is it when an entity can’t tell it’s you by your old ID? That is such crap. I recently tried to use my old TDL and had a major hassle. I’m still recognizable from 6 yrs. ago. A few more wrinkles and age spots- but it’s still me. I was ticked.
I like the projectile vomiting bit. That was good. And of course, the dad would always prefer to sit with strangers. No responsibilities!
Thanks for stopping by!
We did get another wine key in Dallas.
You know I had to look up exactly what that was. When I was a server, back in the days of brontosaurus burgers, we just called them corkscrews. Who knew?
