How? Tie the bag around your neck? String the beans as a necklace and if enough, bracelets? Stuff the beans up the nose? Spread the beans out on the seat/floor? ....

Enquiring minds want to know.

(Surely someone is going to post here: "FA out of coffee beans because some DM dude in 7C used them all for masking foul smell from lav!")

I read an article in the USA today about two guys passing away from sewer fumes overdose. I think this happened last week some where in the north east.

Did you mean to say USA Today, or did you mean the US Air magazine?

I believe you need two (2) people to be eligible.

(Wonder if you get extra points for threesome? )

If you should ever be in this situation again, know that you are not alone. This always cracks me up:

Be sure to read all the pages. Illustrations are priceless. And according to snopes.com, it is a real complaint letter.

Just found this thread buried away ...
Having just taken Delta for the first time in ages, and getting a window seat WITH NO WINDOW!!!, I ask the following:

What about Delta does NOT suck?

It's not Delta that decides the window placement on the airplanes...

No, but they do decide the placement of the seats!

Windowless window seats are usually marked on SeatGuru - but yes, they are usually a bit claustrophobic.

I once got a 500 delta skymiles bonus for being stuck in a middle seat. I didnt even have to request it. It was automatically done. Check your account, maybe they did something similar?

Actually, "woe is me," is not the same as "whoa is me." The latter might have indicated the OP's desire to slow down or stop his rant...

This made me laugh

But does someone know if row 7 have very limited recline? I am on a 75x Sfo - Atl and typically chose the last rows so that I wont bother people behind me. I usually fly SFO -JFK and row 4 does recline enough for me to be comportable, so I dont mind being in the last row. If the recline on this plane is very limited though, I might move a little forward.

Thanks!

I've sat row 7 on this configuration a few times and don't recall any recline issues for this 6'2" Linebacker build. Yeah, I noticed the lav pump thing but I wasn't bothered much by it.
