Be Sure Your Antlers Are in the Secure, Upright Position

Criticizing airlines is easy; running one is hard.


That’s why you will not hear any of the travel group voices joining the chorus of critics even though we have just finished a month of day-trips to Nassau and Florida and practically Los Angeles.

We spend our fair share of time on airplanes. These days we spend that time trying to balance all our inflight “must haves” on our laps since that Wall Street Journal exposé of the terrors of the seatback pocket. So ... when one of our favorite columnists, Samantha Bennett of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, made us laugh with her summer air travel story, we had to share.
