    You’re laughing now, but wait until they charge you for two seats if you weigh more than 100 pounds (45.359237 kg).

    Plunk your magic twanger, margueritem!

    On my right, a 450 lbs man. On my right, a woman with a teething baby. The teen behind me keeping time with his feet to his walkman. I’ll show you the friendly skies.

    Last summer, I flew for the first time in about 20 years. It was such an uncomfortable experience, that I will only fly in an emergency, even if it means that getting on the train here in Columbia to go anywhere means boarding at 3 am.

    Wish I had the guts to send this to my 325# son whose job requires frequent trips by air.

    Gee, kinda looks like a snake that swallowed, well, a wide one… Celecca-sorry your ride was unpleasant. I still admire an industry that still has at least a few parts made and operated by the Usas.

    Rude passengers, uncomfortable seating, still beats the heck out of going Greyhound. California to Ohio, worst three days of my life. Never again, never, ever again.

    Neo! For God’s sake, why would you take a bus, when AMTRAK would get you there far more comfortably for the same money in less time? USE YOUR HEAD, man!
