Random Airline Thoughts

The 9 hour flight from Houston to Paris was kinda cool....each seat back had a video screen. For no charge you were able to watch over 350 movies and TV shows, play games or listen to music. I was able to listen to Led Zeppelin's first album, watch two espisodes of The Big Bang Theory and Austin Powers 2.....of course when I wasn't asleep....

On the same flight we had a blues band from New Orleans...they were on their way to play at a blues festival in Switzerland.

The lady sitting next to me had two small bottles of champagne. She and her husband, who was sitting behind Lisa, were on their wayt to Monte Carlo for s0me gambling and shopping......Recession?? What recession??

You are allowed to smoke in the bathroom at the airport in Paris.

The ticket agents in Paris are not the most friendly....
When we tried to change our seats so we could sit together on the way to Kiev, we were told very quickly that there was nothing they could do....

Once on the plane to Kiev we were easily able to change seats.....

After boarding the plane we found someone already sitting in Lisa's seat. We asked our French Flight attendant for some help. She told us to stay there and she would be right back.....that never happened. We just waited for the people around us to arrive. Once they did it was easy to get two of them to move so we could sit together.......No thanks to the Air France staff...

The giant warm coats we had been lugging around since leaving 80 degree Dallas finally came in handy once we got off the plan in Kiev. We exited via stairs to an awaitng shuttle bus. We quickly put on our coats and piled onto the bus.
