One more flight to go


Undoubtedly the best phrase I heard this whole trip was from Pat. While discussing the differences between US-based airline companies and pretty much the rest of the world, she said “Stewardesses on the US planes are like truck stop waitresses.” Of course this isn’t true 100% of the time… but I’ve had more than my share of Truck Stop Waitresses as cabin crew.

It might be a bit hard to see in the iPhone picture, but the Asiana crew all wear impeccable uniforms, are genuinely helpful, and keep things moving at a rapid pace. I don’t expect the same thing on my last flight on United. In fact, it’s already been delayed by a half hour. At least I got an exit row seat.
