Types of Travelers....



I find there are 2 types of traveler; the 'high-strung traveler' and the 'laid-back traveler.'
I am the latter. So much the latter I believe out of every scheduled flight I only made about 8% of all my flights on time. I literally miss every flight. Its actually quite disturbing. My boyfriend conversely, is the typical male cursed with travel paranoia. When my luggage is a 1/4 of kilo too heavy he'll huff and puff. You can imagine: he acts like someone cut him off while driving his dying dog to the emergency animal hospital. To me, my luggage is of no one's concern but my own. Nor, do I care about what anyone else is doing at the airport so they can wait an extra 15 minutes for me to disperse my shit around.


All airports of the world are like several 'airport' embassy's around the world. No matter where you are, you can expect the same thing with the exception of a few variations, and ridiculous prices of course.

This where I make my list of flight recommendations (mostly referring to international flights):


Air France is perfect for the 'laid back traveler'. They don't care about regulation really, if the flight states it departs at 12:00...This just means that the doors will close at 12:15, and you will depart eventually. I never missed an Air France flight, and I have been late! The problem with this airline lies within the individuals who chose to work in a service type industry but find it absolutely necessary to be as rude as possible.

Virgin Atlantic is perfect for the 'ADD restless traveler' with all the different options; a million movies, games, music, news, EVERYTHING...How can one actually go to sleep. Virgin adds all these wonderful extras to get the customers, us, to not notice the incredibly small seats and putrid moldy smell. VA however is perfect for individuals who have a habit of extending and minimizing their stay at particular places, with 7 days advanced notice we have the ability to change our return flight for free!!!!

American Airlines and EVERY one Star alliance member (ie, British Airways) There all basically alike just different brand name. AA and BA are not the most comfortable of flights, one doesn't have an abundance of options like Virgin Atlantic, but non the less, its the most basic of flights, with the most basic of options. The employees are angels and quite the elders, thus alcohol consumption is always assisted with complimentary spoken warning labels with each order. Which gets quite annoying. If a want a drink, than bitch get me a drink and don't ask me questions or let me know how bad it is for my health. How the hell else am I supposed to remove the smell of individuals whom are selfish and choose to not wear deodorant before a flight, and little baby diapers.

Air India well there is not much I can say except, there are a vast amount of babies on board, one middle movie playing India's own bollywood films, and the authenticity of the steward's and stewardesses wearing their own cultural gear (pronounced sorry's) is absolutely priceless. Air India is a true cultural immersing flight, filled with lots of awful smells exuding from the bodies of every individual on flight along with the after Indian food (plane food is also a curry dish) gas and smells that are complimentary from eating. DO NOT GO TO THE BATHROOM....If one does please ALWAYS remember to use a gas mask for your own protection of course!

KLM Well the seats are small, the food is mediocre, no good movies or music, and well the employees are gorgeous what a great way to make the time FLY by!

Delta-imagine Delta's former domestic (USA) airplane subsidiary, 'Song'...Please note these are shuttle flights and therefore not as equipped to transcend through international waters, flight cabin is extremely small.....YEAH IMAGINE THIS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT, 6 hrs or more.....AWFUL!!!!

more to come...
