Where Are the Secret Places You Love to Visit?
From dawn: "The wind is blowing hard enough today to pick up icy snow making them weapons as they hit exposed skin.

An on-duty FA was carrying on about how terrible their seats were, and how they should have insisted on better ones, and how she was going to find them better seats. Sure enough, as the front rows were boarding, the FAs moved into the bulkhead seats. Well, the passengers who were actually assigned the bulkhead seats boarded and I could not believe it when the on-duty FA said that the seats had been double booked and were given to the FAs because they boarded first. more>
