In Which I Am Much Disgusted At The State Of Air Travel

[serinde]

1. American (who is running our EWR <-> LAX flights) is, I learn, no longer offering meals on any domestic flights. They will graciously allow you to pay $5 for a "wrap", or $3 for a packet of peanuts or a candy bar. Fuck you, right in your ear.

2. Qantas has found a way to be even more retarded than the TSA. Our Noble Protectors started allowing knitting needles again a couple years ago, but Qantas forbids them. Because why? Because, our spies tell us, someone tried to hijack a plane with a piece of pointy wood. Not a knitting needle, mind you; something much larger in scale, more like a 2x4. But, y'know, it's KINDA LIKE a knitting needle, so those have to go.

I am not packed. Steve is gone to bed, so I can't try to pack. Instead I drink a hot toddy and prepare to fall over, the better to attack tomorrow.

That would bring the struggle for airline blankets to a whole new level...
