Watch out for the homeless people/panhandlers downtown. Atlanta has the most agressive panhandlers I've seen in quite a long time - they even put the ones in DC to shame.
You also have to watch out for them on MARTA. They love to mess with the doors, causing them to jam and delay the train. I've never seen anything like it in any other city. |

Sure. I'm not getting one on Sunday because my EWR-ATL flight is oversold. It's a 733 and I didn't get 14A or 14F. I've landed an EUA on a Monday morning between those two cities in the last six months on a freaking L fare on a 735 and I can't get an EUA on a larger plane with a higher fare? And yes, I'm quite bitter about it.

I was behind and across the aisle from a guy watching a movie with full frontal male and female nudity on the way back from PHL. There were a bunch of kids on the flight and I didn't know if I should say anything. I've also seen a guy across the aisle reading a hardcore porn mag, including unfolding the centerfold completely and holding the magazine up high so he could take in all of its glory, which meant that everyone behind him could see at least part of it too. :rolleyes: And finally, there was the amorous couple who joined the half mile high club on an ERJ MSP-IAH flight on a Thursday night a couple of years ago. I say the half mile club because they did everything, but, well, what you have to do to join the mile high club. There were only about 15-20 people on that flight, and they were a couple of rows in front of the exit row. I was in 12A, and one other guy was in 12B, and there was nobody behind us. So he and I were the only ones who really witnessed it. The flight attendant spent most of the flight after her initial drink service sitting in 1A, which was empty. They did at least have the courtesy to stuff their used blue Continental blanket in their carry on and take it with them, rather than leaving it for the flight attendant to find. :eek::eek::eek: There's not much I've not seen in my years of flying. |

Funny you mention that. This morning on the local news there was a report about the city taking steps to curb some of the panhandling.

I may do it. However, the later CO flight is also oversold. We both have to be home before Monday morning, so unless CO can make a good offer and put us on another airline and get us home Sunday evening, we may not be able to take the bump.

2) Large lavs in the 767's and 777's. |

The 777s have a couple of decently-sized lavatories in BusinessFirst. There's one on each side of the aircraft, just behind the second set of doors. Of course the big problem there is that you're right by the rear BusinessFirst galley, which means it would be rather obvious to the flight attendants that you're up to something. |
