I am retired from a major carrier and we had an obese woman fly from
west coast to east. She was too large to fit into the lavatory and she
attempted to relieve herself in the airsick bag. IMHO this woman should
have been denied boarding! What are your thoughts?

I feel like I am always playing Russian roulette when it comes to
meals on the plane.

in Asia, Australia/NZ, back to SF.

SF Bay Area to Oahu, going out around Dec 8 (plus or minus a day or so),

spec is 55 x 40 x 20 cm, quite a lot smaller. Why this substantial

If anybodys interested, this week it's 7998

I haven't seen any recent discussion on this, so I'd like to ask you
if they are COMPLETELY gone (except for buying a full price ticket and
trying for an earlier flight) or are there still airlines doing this?
Thanks
