  • They crowd around the gate, blocking the way onto the jetbridge while staring at their Zone 6 ticket
  • They bring bags onto the plane that clearly won't fit under the seat or in the overhead (plus they know nothing about different kinds of planes with regards to what's gonna fit)
  • They always "have to" get somewhere and it's the end of the world when there's a delay (for me, a delay means another round at the bar!)
I think "Up In The Air" should be required viewing for anyone who is getting on a plane. In fact, I'm going to contact the FAA, the TSA and anyone else who can help make this into a law. Who's with me?
100% agree. March spring breakers were a real test of my patience last month. I also dont understand how some of these people end up in the priority access tsa line.....they back it up to the point where I wouldve been better off going to the general boarding.

Also dont forget about exiting the plane. Business travelers are methodical, we get up grab our jackets and bag and walk off. Vacationers seem to forget where their bags are and where the exit is. After a long week and delayed flight, the last thing I want to do is wait longer on a tiny plane bc of their incompetence.

Dont even get me started on planes where you have to gate check/valet your bag....
