Here again, it's the airlines. They insist on using planes designed to go 600 miles on trips of 2500 miles. It's a law of physics. 3 cans for 150 people over 5 hours equals a line in the First Class aisle.</font>

How is that possible? A plane designed to go 600 miles will run out of fuel long before you reach 2500 miles.

yeah yeah.

I had an impossibly loud, honking, drunk Canadian woman/bimbo behind me on the way home from YWG tonight, who made instant bestest-ever friends with aonther impossibly loud, honking, drunk older woman of indeterminate citizenship (she kept croaking "gawd I need a cigarette!") across the aisle on a NW/Pinnacle Barbie Jet. between the two it was impossible to avoid the honking screeches even with the iPod on full-blast and the Bose NR 'phones firmly clamped to my skull. the older croaking one got up while taxiing to the gate at MSP, even. it was hilarious.

too bad there's no arbiter of taste at the gate... however the FA was an absolute scream. the Pinnacle FAs seem a lot less uptight that NW mainline FAs.

j I know she was Canadian because she said so about 50 times at 150 decibels to make sure the entire province of Manitoba knew it b.

Re: How to lower the noise inflight

I always carry a pair of custom made ear plugs (for times that the there are noisy pax's nearby) that reduce noise between 25-30 decibels.

It cost about $100. for good ear plugs, it's an invest if you travel a lot, and definetely worth every cent!

This year I've only had to use them 3 times when other pax were yelling.
