Jump to postWow. The sense elitism from some of the F pax here is borderline disgusting. Especially people referring to the F bathroom as "our bathroom".

Jump to postThese replies make it sound like they didn't lose the bags at all. It seems like they knew where they were the whole time and just decided not to put them on the aircraft. Am I understanding that correctly?

Jump to postI find the process of flying in the US, and on US carriers, to be vastly different to that in Europe. An airport in the US, like a lot of other things there, has this culture of "fear". They're constantly reminding you of the "boogyman" and to be aware of it. Everyone is acting more like security gu...
Jump to postFor some reason, I get the feeling this is a bad photoshop job. Look at the perspective of everything else in the shot and then look at the perspective of the "RB" on the tailfin.
