Air Travel

I rarely fly, when I do, it facinates me to watch the people. Business people will sit on the floor to get a plug-in for their laptop and work while waiting. Kids will be running up and down the concourse while frantic parents struggle to control both the children and thier baggage, and lastly there is the lines to board the plane.

Southwest flights are the most intresting of them all. Seats are first come first serve, and passengers are grouped by A,B,C to determine boarding order in three groups. Group A travelers will squat at the gate to be the first to enter the plane, even using luggage as make shift lounge chairs. Group B passengers are usually envious of the A passengers, and can be the most grumpy and unruley. The C crowd, are a mix of the clueless and carefree.

I like to print my boarding pass online, as soon as possible just to get it out of the way, and that usually places me in the A crowd, but just to piss off the B's & C's, I lay low, on the opposite side of the concourse, and swoop in the end of the "A" line just as they enter the plane. Gotta run! Time to board!
