You don't like the sun? Bring an eyeshade.

+1 to this!!^

Why can't I scan my own boarding pass at the gate? Why does some random person insist that they scan it, unless I am using a mobile bp

Helmut Jahn's ORD T1 design is looking pretty dated.

Maybe we can start some campaign against this. Don't much care for the sense of flying in a big coffin.

People who take window seats and then close the shade with no intention of looking out....what is wrong with these people??? I have banned two of my friends from taking a window seat when flying with me. I have seen too many amazing things. But again; much worse are those damn snowflakes outside the window!

They don't always close the curtain between cabins, esp on domestic 2-cabin configurations. I don't want those coach people looking at me.

Okay - I'll admit - this is something I didn't know bothered people. I always thought I was putting down my shade so the sun didn't bother people - but now putting down the shade bothers people?

To quote Pooh: "Bother!"

Now I've said 'bother' so many times it doesn't look quite right anymore.

I don't want those coach people using my bathrooms! They have their own bathrooms. How about this, we put a locking door in between F & Y. The Y pax can load and unload using the rear doors!^

That is a substantive complaint, as are some of the others (with their own threads). Certainly you have less important complaints!

Might be a reasonable complaint re: 777, but if you are flying 763, then it is either 2 class domestic or 3 class Int'l. They are all reconfigured.

And give me a glass floor while they're at it. I want to see what's below me, not just next to me!

While we're at it, I'm missing the intro that was recently replaced.
