The thing you hate most about traveling

I loathe:
That icky feeling when you've been cooped on a plane for 14 hrs.....my first must is a long hot shower and fresh clothes
Numpties who hog the overhead lockers - because they really push the cabin baggage allowance - JQ & VA pax worst at this
Those airlines as above (never flown Tiger) who carry lots of pax unused to flying. Everything is way too hard for them to understand
Seat recliners
Arm rest hogs - usually men - who wanna invade my personal space - think it's necessary to mark their territory by spreading arms and legs. Why I will NEVER travel in a middle seat!
Check in dragons
Having said all that - travel's an adventure, and I love it all. Usually.

Oh god yes! What is WITH that? It's like they're trying to make you as uncomfortable as possible next to them.
 
Surely there must be another way of stopping children from watching movies unsuitable for them, like a password issued only to adults?


Pete,
I think parents monitoring what the kids are watching should be enough. All movies/tv shows normally have ratings on them.
 
I find navigating across people in terminal after you alight from airplane. Worst recent experiences in SYD T2 after you get off VA and JQ and QF flights. Reminded me of LAX around gates 41 and 42 during days I used QF and AA lounge nearby.

This annoyed me on NZ101 lady behind me had taken her shoes off and decided it was a good idea to put them to the side of the seat and onto my armrest, kept getting my elbow kicked half the flight.

meh, that's nothing that a good wack with a heavy paperback won't fix.
 
1. overfull bladder and the fasten seatbelts sign is stuck on what seems like forever! Captain pppleeeaase switch it off!
