Think Your Own Last Flight Was Unpleasant?

Hi there! How're things with you? In fine fettle, I hope. You're just in time for a rousingly refreshing mug of java and a virtual treat so dig in. Say...been on any flights lately? We've been on so many over the years that we have our share of unpleasant ones, but...nothing like these, eh.

(1) The May 28 US Airways flight from Los Angeles to Philadelphia had to be diverted to Kansas City after a passenger's service dog did what dogs do, in the aisle, twice (an hour apart). One passenger used the terms "lingering smell," "dry heaving" and "throwing up" in describing the situation. 

(2) On a recent (perhaps July) Delta flight from Beijing to Detroit, a Chinese couple apparently nonchalantly laid down paper on their toddler's seat and encouraged him to address his bowels' needs despite numerous pleas from nearby passengers to take him to the restroom. According to Chinese news reports, social media sites erupted in criticism of the family for its embarrassing behavior.

Yeah, and with my luck, that baby would have been seated right in front of me!

Still beats the crap out of walking...

See ya, eh!
