1. In all seriousness, I wouldn't fly.
Edited on Thu May-22-08 05:15 AM by cornermouse
I'd take a car, a train or a boat.

The airline companies are charging high prices, tacking on fees if you want to have clothes to wear or bring souvenirs home, stop you for any reason that they feel like, can make you take your shoes off if they feel like it, routinely put you through machines that allow people to more or less see you naked, stuff you into a plane and leave you sitting on tarmac for long periods of time (increasing risk of blood clots in your legs) in a cabin that recycles air which exposes you to illness. Face it. The airlines don't want us to fly. They want us to find other modes of transportation. I for one am willing to let them have the company extinction that they're working so hard to achieve.
