5 Things I Hate When Flying

Just arrived from the airport 2 hours ago. My head hurts like hell and I'm getting aches and pains all over. I guess it comes with age. Haha.

Anyhoo--I just felt like blogging about the ten most irritating things (for me) when flying, because both flights I had this weekend were a bit hellish. This will be really quick as I am on my way out again for another gig.

05. Our airport sucks. It just does.

04. The security measures are quite pathetic. I was aghast when I first experienced being asked to take my shoes off. Now they're also asking to take off your watch. What will they think of next? Take of your clothes? And why the hell do they need to open the bags one by one? It just makes the qeueu longer. Isn't that what the x-ray thing is for?

03. Air pockets. I know this is beyond my control. There will always be air pockets. But I don't like it. Makes me feel sick. And since I don't like it, it makes this list.

02. Delayed flights. C'mon, Philippine air transport regulations require passengers to be at the airport two to three hours before their flight. Then the damn plane gets delayed. What the hell? Now that I've mentioned it, why in the world are we supposed to be at the airport several hours before departure anyways? In other countries, you can actually arrive the airport 15min before boarding and no one will create a fuss.

01. Crying infants. I'm sorry. I know I'm not a parent and maybe that's why I can't be more understanding when it comes to this... but really, it is uber irritating to listen to an infant crying for hours on end in a small confined place. Especially when you haven't had enough sleep and are trying to sleep through your flight. I really hope parents would be more sensitive and try not to bring really small infants on a plane trip (unless ABSOLUTELY necessary), or if they do have to bring them, I hope they'd be responsible enough parents to try and make them shut up.
