oxygen masks, PLEASE.

A couple posts ago I raved about how much I enjoy my flights, especially on JetBlue. But let me tell you, my flight back from Vegas to NYC was not so enjoyable. Not because JetBlue was unsatisfactory in any way, but because one of the other passengers on the plane.

Two hours into the flight I began smelling this terrible odor, only to realize someone near me had farted. I tried to ignore it and continued to watch my TV. About 20 mins later, the same odor suffocated my space. I feel like the odor of a fart is like 5x worse in a plane because one's personal space is so confined and the air already seems rather stale. This time I looked around to identify the perpetrator, but then didn't do anything futher.

THEN, honest to God, it happened again about 20 mins later! I began to suspect it was the woman NEXT to me. She kept on shifting bizarrely in her seat, but she also was pretending to sleep. But goodness gracious, she just couldn't hold it in. This continued for the REST OF THE 6 HOUR FLIGHT.

What does one do in a situation like this? "Excuse me miss, can you please stop passing gas. It smells terrible." I considered it in my mind, but decided to tough it out passive-aggressively.

it is now safe to move around the world.

So this summer I'll had a couple of opportunities to travel. A couple times to Boston, once to Tampa Bay, and today I'm flying out to Vegas. That's right "SIN CITY." Unfortunately, I'm too young to take part in most of the sinning that occurs there (I'm talking about the casinos people, get your minds out of the gutter).

Anyways, traveling alot has exposed me to a lot of different flights and hotels. So this summer I have discovered the joy that is JetBlue. For those of you still not in the know, JetBlue is a fairly new airline which has a TV screen and several channels for EVERY seat. It's ok to be amazed, I was at first too. But this new development has changed my flight experience completely. One flight I didn't want to get off the plane because an episode of ABDC was just ending and I wanted to find out who was being voted off.

In addition to developing preferences for particular airlines (I also strongly endorse Midwest, btw) I am beginning to get used to paying the small amount for extra room, showing up at the airport only 20 mins before my flight, and not checking any bags. I guess I truly am becoming a consultant.

Anyways, I take off in about 3 hours. Hopefully I don't get stuck next to a snorer.
