….is that they wait until a flight of a hundred people are comfortably settled and ready for departure before discovering that a flight instrument is broken…..
*Can we please just rev her up for 5 minutes before boarding and inevitably deplaning and inconveniencing tons of weary (and anxious) travelers?
…..the “recline” button is such a tease…..ready? push…..ahhh, yes, 2 inches, I feel so much more relaxed and reclined for that matter!
…..recycled “human-scented” air coming out of vents that either blast or trickle….
….lifting heavy carry-ons over my head into “convenient” overhead compartments which are unaccessible after departure (Ok, so maybe that’s a problem with my packing, but I’ll blame the plane for now!)
...magazine pockets in front of you that don't hold bottled water well!
...no leg room, unless you're in an exit row, in which you MUST know and be willing to assist in the event of a crash or emergency - we all say we will in order to get the "roomy" seat!
..."U-shaped" neck pillows to increase our ability to sleep sitting up in the most uncomfortable position!
...meals on the international flight that are described as "chicken parts with a glob of brown goo on it"....mmmm, yummy, pass the salt and pepper please!
....lines to get on, lines to get off, lines to be searched, delays, lost luggage, minimal compensation...need I go on!
Thank God that He is never late! His timing is perfect, there is plenty of "room" to stretch our legs and rest in Him, His aroma is sweet, His burden is light, there are no lines, and we can taste and see that He is good.....
p.s. I have to say that I really did love the individual movie screens on my first international flight.....they were so cute and useful! Well done KLM Airbus!
Cheers!
