Parking tip from one of the smart and well-traveled work peeps: take a pic of where you parked so as not to wander aimlessly upon your return (especially when that return is after a red eye). I typically like to park on level four as you can normally find a space relatively close to the elevators, but without having to circle up so many levels that you're dizzy.
(There used to be a pic here, but thanks, Alf, for alerting me to my mistake)
While I am not the most frequent flier, I have been on my share of large cross-country and cross-ocean planes. Much larger than the 3 x 3 I'm on now. However, I haven't ever sat over the wing in those large planes. I don't recommend it. My view out the window at take off was not pleasant. I know it takes huge amounts of gas and power to allow a plane to take off, especially with my big behind on it, but to see the wings struggle to cut through the wind?? NOT FUN!
I wonder what marketing genius decided to put aa.com on the wing of a flight that doesn't have WiFi?
Another tip? Don't pack the second book in your checked bag when you only have a few chapters left on book number one. I've read the in-flight mag twice in English and once in Spanish. Si, intiendo un poco de los articulos y no necesito leer espanol para mirar a las fotografias. Enrique is hot in any language.

tip #3: don't publish the pic of where you parked, and tell everyone on the internet that you're gone for a week :P
ReplyDeleteOopsie. Good point.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my espanol was horrendous too
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should pick up a few new magazines for the flight home. And, level four is the best level. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLevel 7 is where the law requires me to park, except on those bad days when I'm redirected to the basement, and I do mean basement.
