The most annoying and disrespectful thing for me is when people block the aisle chatting while the rest of passengers are boarding or disembarking. I have encountered people who block the aisle for minutes just discussing who is going to sit where, or what piece of luggage should go in the overhead ...

Jump to postIn my university there is a full stocked bar in the cafeteria. It is not common to see people drinking all the time, but you do see people having having their caña (beer) or some hard liquor after lunch. I study in Spain, this would not happen in a Mexican university, but I find it perfect this way.

Jump to postI'm going to be travelling from Atlanta to Madrid in a Delta 767, any insight on what to expect? I'm not sure if they operate 763 or 764's of this route, I noticed some of the 764's have PTV's. On the other side the cabin's of the 763 look rather old. Any information I should know? Thanks in advance.
