This weekend. We're going to CA one last time.

I won't miss the long lines, security, stinky cramped planes, or boredom in airports. After I get home I'm never getting on a plane again.

[emersonbiggins]

I'm very likely hitting my last one in a couple of weeks as well.

My last plane flight ever was in January 1969, to Air Force basic training in Texas, from California.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

My last plane flight was a few months ago. My second-to-last plane flight was in 2006. This has been a big transition for me as I used to fly internationally about 6 times a year for my job.

In September I am going to drive to vegas from Seattle.

Let them go bankrupt frisking caucasian grandmothers.

I won't be a number to play with either.

RSG, don't forget to bring the KY for the inspections gate.

[CarlinsDarlin]

The last time I was on a plane was in 2000. I doubt I will ever fly again. If I can't get there on the ground, I just won't be going.

Have a good trip, Red!

I flew cross country 3 weeks ago.
I'll be doing the same in 4 days.
It's part of my job.

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from
them. So it was with some amusement that we listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience):

"Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- and I didn't land."

I have to fly for work now, but when I retire I will never fly again. I hate the airlines, and especially those rotten plicks with TSA. I would rather spend a month going coast to coast on a bicycle than have one of those idiot un-employables search my luggage one more time.
I will be glad to see the airlines curl up and die.

I wish I could fly a lot more than I do. I always get a window seat whenever possible. Viewing Earth from seven miles in the air is something I wish I could do every day. What a miracle.

200 years ago, traveling from one side of this continent to the other would use up a large percentage of a year to accomplish. Now we do it in less than six hours.

I get along fine with TSA people. I'm nice to them, they're nice to me.

I've never flown First Class. Maybe some day.

We're going to sorely miss the commercial airlines when they all go under. Only the super-rich will be able to fly, in their own planes. Lucky stiffs.

Pattaya is great.
I haven't been there in a while but went several times in the late 80's and early 90's. Hopefully it is still a good place. I've heard it still is.

[WildRose]

I had never heard of Pattaya until just now. I looked up some pictures; it looks very pretty, nice beaches.

A diving trip sure does sound like a great adventure, PrairieMule.

I still would also like to see San Francisco.

[smallpoxgirl]

I've been on 40 flights this year and will be on 20 more by the end of the year. No other way to practice in Seattle and Montana at the same time.
