Well, I am stuck in the fine Newark International Airport, as my flight is delayed forever.

That's not new - what is new is the rather large of amount of women who have spontaneously broken into yoga exercises.  There is practically a yoga class running in the corner.

I don't recall spontaneous yoga during previous airport delays.

Haha. How long have you been in the airport? The longest I've ever been delayed is 28 hours, then the flight got entirely cancelled. Needless to say, I was extremely frustrated. But at least we got a half-price flight on the next plane.

Speaking of Europe, has anyone ever flown Air France? Talk about service. The coach class seats have personal television screens with about 10 different movies to listen to, you are giving a set of headphones, and various boardgames and other entertaining things. The seats almost recline, unlike most other planes. Really great service.

Get some pics. No, I'm not thinking nasty thoughts. I just think it would be humerous to see such a thing.

I no longer use my regular cell phone dialup - I now use Verizon BroadbandAccess.  WAY faster than dialup, and with my PC card I don't have to worry about my cell phone dying either.

No attractive ladies in spandex - strictly soccer moms and the occasional leftover hippie.

I have been in the airport about 5 hours now - not too bad, but my flight is leaving in another 5 hours at the earliest...  Longest I got delayed was in Paris (about 40 hours), but they put us up in a hotel and fed us, so that was marginally less sucky.

Air France sucks donkey, along with Delta and United.

Best airlines in the world, bar none, are Singapore Air and Malaysian Air.  No contest at all.  After them come other Asian airlines - Thai Air, Sri Lankan Air, Nippon Air, Cathay Pacific...  (but watch out for China Air)

Asian airlines > European airlines > US airlines  (although Virgin Atlantic is pretty good)

Minus gas and finding a small airport. Plus storage for a plane..


My favourite airline is Luthansa. They always give me good German cholcolate when I fly with them.
