Flying the friendly skies. Sounds like a plan, eh?

After you go through all the fare finders and finally commit to what you and your pocketbook agree is a doable price for your trip, your arrangements to leave town are in order. Your loved ones are farmed out or sittered-in, pets in safe keeping, abode is locked tight, you pack up and head out Hollywood to the airport.

Some person looks in your car windows and trunk (phenomenon not experienced in the other 22 airports I visited last year) you get to check-point inside the terminal. You remove your jacket, belt, keys, pocket contents, shoes, have carry-ons scrutinized. Your liquids and gels are exposed in the ONE QUART resealable baggie. You hopefully re-dress and gather up all your possessions again, get to gate and board plane. You're crammed in to a narrower than ever seat. Someone sits next to you, he's really fat and is spilling over into your space. The one behind you has whooping cough and restless leg syndrome. The one in front of you leans back. Someone needs a barf bag but erupts all over 3 rows, including yours. Then Fat guy begins to flatulate foully, fully and frequently.

Finally you land in the proper airport, but did your luggage come with you?
