Come fly with me

[stephbg]

It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I find flying troublesome on many levels. But each time I do it I learn something new. Today I came home from a quick turnaround trip to Adelaide, which at 3 - 3 1/2 hours (depending on direction) is the shortest city flight you can do from Perth.

This did occur to me, but the pedant in me was having a nap.

Gero's 55 minutes away.

rabbit1080 has organised exit row seats for us on a number of occasions, but for all the flights we've been on the only additional restriction on hand luggage was that during takeoff and landing it needs to be stowed overhead rather than under the seat in front of you. Think I even managed to hold on to a book and a jumper for one or two of them.

I do miss having a little pocket in front of me for keeping a book in, but the extra leg room is fantastic, as is not having to negotiate who gets the aisle seat (my sleeping partner is neither large nor a stranger, but I'm still reluctant to wake her just so I can stretch my legs for a bit).

The book thing is possibly getting less of a problem, too - I've read two (2!) ebooks on my iPhone now, and have yet to catch fire. They certainly take up less luggage space.

I shall have to investigate further, thanks.
