I have my own opinions about our friends at US Airways especially since I used one of their main hubs in Philadelphia for a few years and have some memories. But, with all that as your history lesson for the morning... here are my thoughts on the flight that left BWI and arrived in Phoenix TWO HOURS early. Now rather than be "that guy" like the dude that was on his cell complaining that he arrived early and would have to reschedule his rental car etc... I give you the following:
"The Good"
- Arrived safe and sound.
- TWO HOURS EARLY ARRIVAL... I do not know how it happened, I do not even want to know how it happened. But, I know it did. Thank you El Nino and La Nina for providing the winds to allow the plane to move a little bit faster.
- The flight attendants were polite and very attentive and also used common sense when they had the opportunity to wake me up when I was trying to grab some shut eye.
"The Meh"
- Just curious why there are no smoking lights on planes anymore... No where else to start the discussion so I figured here would be a good place.
"The Bad"
- The $25.00 additional bag fee.
- The fact that there the seats are not comfortable and they are looking for as many sardine impersonators they can fit into the plane.
- Zone boarding.... Why in God's name do the people that sit in the front board first and then the folks that are in the back need to wait until the goofballs clear the aisle?!? People and companies paid a lot of money for some consulting company to tell them that this is efficient... well a few things here. 1. It is not. and 2. Really?!?!
