Once I reach Atlanta, I always fly overseas with Lufthansa. They were first in making flights secure before 9-11, and their service has always stood above others. On my last flight, I was impressed by the fact that they did not let a passenger with a overly large painting, bully his way onto the plane. They stood their ground and told him he would have to ship it because there was no storage for it. He created a scene, but they silently and politely refused to back down. Damned shame our airlines have reached the 'cattle car' and 'money shake down' stages'. I believe if someone showed up with a goat, they would simply charge him extra for the seat and let it on.
