Wifey just got terrible experience with Lufthansa, bos->muc->prg. During her Munich connection, they first made her walk across the airport for a late gate change, then forgot to notify her about cancellation of the flight. when she inquired about the missing plane, they handed her an updated travel schedule with the second leg completely missing because no alternative flights, then told her and a bunch of other people to leave the airport and catch a bus to Prague, or find a train.
Fucking assholes.

They tried to pull that same shit on me when they cancelled my flight from Split to Cologne and told me to get on a 5 hour bus ride to Sarajevo to catch a flight back. I showed the finger both literally and figuratively and made them pay for 2 nights in a 5 star hotel in Split.

Unfortunately I wasn't there with her, I would have raised hell. I've been hearing bad things about Lufthansa lately.

My Spirit flight was ok. 1.5 class seat up front was comfy but no recline as with every Spirit row. Faint smell of shit likely from nervous woman from Pueblo a row back or her dog in a carrier. Or both. Several people from rows further back tried to elbow past at deboarding. Overall worth what I paid.

Hopefully they passed with a sudden very sharp pain to their shins and foot as your shoe edge forcefully slid down their leg whilst you uttered an insincere "Sorry about that, didn't see you trying to pass as it was MY turn to deplane."

Fucking wankers.

F-me, no.

The ultimate in airline travel is to be shot with a tranquilizer, thrown in the cargo hold, then injected with something to wake up when you come out on the baggage carousel. This is only slightly behind teleportation.

Yup, count me in.
As an added bonus with riding the baggage carousel you get the whole space mountain of linking belts to ride on the way. I saw Toy Story, I know what 'squeeb gets upto "Riding the baggage carousel" and I want in.
