The 3 hours of baby screaming is the worst for me. Isn't there some kind of baby sedative? I still don't understand why the f people fly around the country with a 3 month old???

There's no overhead bins for carry on luggage. There will still be storage for checked bags in the belly of the plane, just like any other flight. The inconvenience will actually be for the business flyer who wants to carry his bags on board, but, as it looks, won't be able to because there are no bins for luggage. But, maybe they'll just have them put their bag under their seat? Who knows at this point?

Can you imagine g'ma standing / sitting in one of those contraptions, which look like a roller coaster configuration, for 2 hours? Her ankles would be swollen like cantelopes.

Only if this is the inside of a helicopter.

Finally after four hours of this shit we take off, and, well, if you've never flown with a sinus infection, let's just say that "unpleasant" is a gross understatement. What a nightmare. And that ****ing monstrous little brat never did shut up (I don't know if anybody killed him and his parents later, but I certainly hope so). Used to be in a situation like that they'd at least give you free drinks, but not any more.

Next time I go to Syracuse, I'm driving.

Syracuse NY? Wow. That's a long drive. But, considering 4 hours on the tarmac, it may be worth it.

I've flown in military helicopters that aren't much smaller than that. I think the seats were probably more comfortable, too.

I'm in suburban Chicago, so it's not as bad for me as you're probably thinking. I can either take the southern route and go through Cleveland and Buffalo, or the northern route through Ontario, which is nice because you can stop at Niagara Falls.

WHEN??!!!!!!

Moller Skycar

[Kylo Ren]

How about this?

Oh, OK. That does make more sense.
