Flew south for a few days...lets just say vacations take on a unique experience when your world is infused with toddler!
All I can say is flying United States aircraft really sucks. It is kinda of like being in Hell, except in Hell one gets a free buffet. In the future we shall avoid flying if possible. Gosh, I wish the US had high speed rail! Flying in the United States has become a serious form of mass transit and they make it as uncomfortable as possible. I like how they say "you have 3 extra centimeters more then other airlines..." (of course that is pure sarcasm) but still....when I started flying in the 80s...there was way more space! I was smaller but there was still way more space. They also fed us. A few years ago, I flew to Africa and Europe...both times as soon as I hit international aircraft..the food was better (not to mention free!) and even on tiny hops (less then an hour) we got breakfast (Lufthansa I heart you!)
My fav. bit is when they say on the US flights, fly with us again...geez...if I wanted to be tortured I would have visited Gitmo during the Bush administration...now you expect me to pay $500 to be squashed in something the size of a shoe box and I don't even get snacks?! Lab mice have it better.
