Yeah, I blogged it!

I remember when flying used to be fun. When you weren’t herded to the plane like cattle. When in-flight beverages were free. When you didn’t have to pay to check a bag. Those days are long behind us.

I’m flying out to philidalphia to see my sister for Thanksgiving because I oodles of airline miles and decided I could use some of them for good.

First off I had to get up at 4am because my flight from Lansing left at 5:40 and you know security is tight and degrading. I was half asleep and forgot to take my laptop out of my backpack, and also had two cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk Caramel in my bag. That earned me speciL attention at the checkpoint and apparently a second check at the gate. WTF? I come up the escalator, stand at the gate, then board. What could I have gotten ahold of in that time?!?!

At least I got my exit row seats. And my own aisles! Neither flight was full and no one was next to me. In that respect I suppose it was OK. And I got to go through the “Pink Floyd” tunnel at DTW. I love that thing. It reminds me if something out of Logan’s Run.

And I see Delta is not nearly as cheap as Northwest was. Spekalaas and coffee instead if those shitty pretzels . Coffee’s still horrible though.
