Galley Gossip: What is RIGHT with the airlines? (There's got to be something!) {Gadling}
Sep 25th 2008 11:05AM What I love about flying:
1. I am going some where; I am out of the house and going some where!
2. The other passengers, I love to make up stories about all of them and I even make up a few about me if I am not going some place as exciting as I would like.
3. Take off – we are on our way.
4. Reading where else can I put on my head phones and read for hours with interruption.
5. Landing, I love the thrill of arrival.
6. The flight home, no matter where I am or how long I have been there I always look forward to flight home.
7. Thinking about where I am going next.
Yes, I have had bad flights and long layovers. I carry extra books, I now pack snacks and I have been known to bring my own Diet Cokes (purchased after security) if flying a non Coca-Cola carrying airline. I have a full Ipod with songs, movies, TV shoes and on the return pictures of where I have been. I love to travel and the only way I can is on sale fares. I know the airlines are not making money on my ticket. What good does it do to complain about the drinks, snacks and the little middle seat I usually end up in the flight attendant has no control over any of that.
Yes, it is harder to travel now. Yes, I have to pack lighter and supply my own food. Will it make me stop traveling? No, the thrill of the next place on my must see list is waiting and the only way to get there is on a plane.
Look for me in the waiting area of your next flight with a bag that has everything but a kitchen sink it and smiling I may have just made up a great story about where you are going.

Sunjet International Airlines is a name I did not think I would ever hear again. I worked in the reservations department for a year. If the passengers were half as bad to you on the flight as they were to those of us on the phones you deserve a medal. Keep you the good work.
