I don't know if that would happen to me now or not. I think I might like to find out. Since February of this year, I haven't gone more than 2 weeks without getting on a plane. And that was just last week. I flew DFW-GRR on 11/14,
drove GRR-DFW 11/19-21 and flew DFW=GRR on 11/26. WOW!
Eleven days without setting foot on an airplane.
The holiday gave me an excuse to go 17 days without being on a plane. That all ended at 5am this morning when I was awoken by my town car driver after I overslept and had to shower and pack in 20 minutes to get on the road which was covered in snow (DEN).
That 17 days is short of my previous record (for the last 3 years anyway) in august of 21 days with no flying due to the brith of my child.
However back to business, next 3 weeks, 3 DEN-MIA's.
I agree with the OP. When you fly ever week the littlest things annoy the hell out of you. Like this morning, I was incensed that the FA did not refill my coffee til after I had finished my breakfast
I hate eating in FC with nothing to drink. A frequent occurance lately. I also hate having to ask for refills, and getting annoyed looks when I do.
