Depressed about the no notification American AAdvantage devaluation?

seat recliners? is it a faux pas to recline your seat? I never knew that.
I guess everyone hates me then – I pee, recline, and sometimes do yoga in the back on long flights 😛 Don’t worry, I definitely don’t smell 🙂
Really?
People who read instead of staring at ancient sitcoms?
People who stand up instead of snacking?
People who recline instead of suffering?
I’ve got a new category:
Passengers who are better than everyone else. (Grandiloquent Bitcherus)
(Raises hand) Window hoggus here … I kind of wish there weren’t windows on airplanes at all.
I’d like to add Germy Yukus to the list. I go straight to the drug store after flights on which I sat next to someone sneezing and coughing the whole time. Thanks for sharing the love sickies.
Seriously? I recline my seat every time. Is that bad? I assumed everyone did this?
sigh. On my last flight to chicago (45 minute flight), there was just one person on the plane that reclined, a guy across the aisle, one row up.
I did get a chuckle though when we were deboarding. The guy seated behind him caught up to him in the skybirdge. He accidentally kind of bumped into him and apologized, then went scurrying ahead. Then I saw the large black mark on the recliner guys back. Ahhh. Sure. He was entitled to recline; And I guess the other guy was entitled to hold his pen out a bit too far. Karma. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
American said the charge happened erroneously last night and any surcharges for awards on partner airlines, excluding BA and IB (which have been charging), will be refunded.
add seat grabbers to the list, the ones that need to hoist themselves out of their seat by grabbing the seat in front of them
( and not just a few times)
I had to sit next to 400 greasy, sweaty pounds of smelly, hairy passenger on a flight from Miami to Atlanta recently. I had just come off of a flight from London and was very tired. Mr. Greasy/Sweaty/Smelly/Huge talked the entire flight and did lots of moving around in his seat so he crashed into me countless times. Annoying, but nothing compared with a very loud whistler/noisy video game player who also crashed into me countless times on a 22 hour flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta. Both flights were in coach, so there was little room to escape them.
i’m 8 of 10 you dont like stay out coach, switch your seat or shut the f*ck up! If seats werent meant to recline then people wouldnt, they are meant to recline so i do. I also bring the smelliest food i can find to eat and pass as much gas as i can to push people out and get the all 3 seats to myself. There is is always alterntive travel means i choose flight.
Just one person opinion…………….. Hope to be your seatmate someday!!
