[POLL] by Heather http://upupandagay.com/2012/04/30/food-for-sale-do-you-buy-it-poll/#comment-2495 Heather Mon, 21 May 2012 18:38:00 +0000 http://upupandagay.com/?p=8548#comment-2495 I am sort of a snack packer.  In my travelling past, I witnessed enough f-ck ups and lack of food on a flight that by the time we had a child, I would pack our own food for the flight.   I would do fun stuff like assortments of cheeses, cured meats, fruits, nuts, fancy sandwiches.    If we are in first class (where I prefer to be now), then I don't worry about.

And being such a jerk, I am surprised he didn't stick them back in coach. Unrelated to the jerk issue - I am a parent that flies first class with a 6yo.  He isn't allowed alternative choices at home and I would expect him to eat what was served on a flight.  Nothing to do with the quality of coach versus first class food and everything to do with him learning to eat what is served.  (thankfully, he eats everything and would pick fish over a sandwich anyway) Miss you on the podcasts!

It's sad what some people have to go through to enjoy some time with their grandchildren. Sounds like the most stressful guy to go with on holiday.

I apologized. While it is true that I use my hips as an early warning system when I pull the cart up the aisle, I don't intentionally run into pax. Then I looked at his neighbor across the aisle. He was BIG and protruded into the aisle. As I was trying to avoid the BIG pax, I inadvertently brushed the sleeping pax (who was also leaning into the aisle). A girl can't win...  On my trans-continental flight to SFO, a pax told me that I’d walked down the aisle four times and woken him up four times. I apologized.
