What Ever Happened To Air Travel?

If you have taken a flight recently, you probably noticed the airlines are having big problems. Sometimes it is weather delays. Sometimes there are mechanical problems. But anytime the word CANCELED pops up on the screen, there is a capacity problem and it is a big problem.

In the not to distant past, a canceled flight meant the affected passenger just had to walk down the corridor and book a seat on a different carrier. It was not a big deal.

Are Airliners Too Heavy?

Next time you fly, take note of the other passengers in the boarding area. How many do you think weigh 170 lbs?

Now I am in pretty good shape. I am about 6 feet tall and weigh 190 pounds. If you run the BMI (Body Mass Indicator) calculator, you will see the government thinks I am overweight, not obese but overweight. Good grief, they think I need to lose another 30 plus pounds.

After a little trial and error, we’ve discovered a few things about flying with our children that may make it a little easier on our next excursions.
