There Has to Be a Better Way!

The serenity of the setting sun outside my plane window was in sharp contrast to the tight quarters within. I love traveling, but I hate flying.

The airlines don’t make it easy: long lines to check in, delayed flights, and just enough room to breathe in crammed seats are just the beginning.

Our group flew via American Airlines to Chile. The experience was horrendous at best. The plane was freezing, the food unpalatable. My salad looked like it sorely needed help. The flight attendant did not want to be on the plane (almost as little as I did). She was rude, disinterested, and literally shoved my food into my lap. Thanks for the service.

There really has got to be a better way! Why does air travel have to be such a disaster?
Of course, the scripted message before landing focused on their pleasure on serving us. Really?

If you can find a better way, let me know — there are a lot of unhappy travelers.
