Not a chance if you’re on a flight with me where I’m trying to get trip report footage.

If the Lav is rocking, better be able to hold it a while longer.

Strictly for flying: Boze it or lose it.

I bought the cheapest ticket I could find. I'm prepared to put up with a day or so of discomfort to get to where I want to go.

Oh, and never go to sleep with your head sticking into the aisle. You never know when you are going to be awakened by a flight attendant's posterior pushed firmly into your face.

I tend to operate on a few movie quotes. Not strictly for the direct quotes, but for the sentiment the character was conveying during the scene.

"Just go with the flow." ~ Planes, Trains and Automobiles
"You can choose to be oh-so smart, or oh-so pleasant. For a long time I was smart. I prefer pleasant." ~Harvey
"I never did mind about the little things." ~ Point of No Return

Mine is a problem that can be solved by $100 isn’t a problem. Also, if a $20 but exorbitantly overpriced purchase would make the trip better, buy it.

Go easy on the wailing babies. They're only vocalizing what you're thinking: This sucks!

Expect what happens.

This phrase my wife and I find very useful. We fly a lot , we’re both 1Ks and have been for 6 years. It has a salutary effect on ones blood pressure.

a Phrase coined in 1968: " Life is too short too fly coach:

" Life is too short to Fly coach"

Started my airline flying in 1968 working for Western Airlines in San Francisco.
My first flight was to training at LAX with a space PosF employee pass.
Ruined for coach forever.

Motto?

50% of humanity is stupid. 75% of those are flying today. 95% of those are on my [redacted] flight.

Can't take credit for this motto from my FF Friend:

"Never get on a plane hungry."

I always felt it was good advice.
