12/23   Southwest Airlines screwed me over by drastically overbooking a
        flight so I'm tring to screw them back a little. Don't fly
        Southwest. If you do get denied boarding because a flight is
        overbooked know this. Denied boarding is actually illegal. Most
                                \_ Grammar that bad should be illegal,
                                   but being denied boarding isn't illegal.
        passengers don't know this so they readilly accept whatever
        compensation they give you. Once you accept it you've signed
        away all your legal rights against the airline. Milk them for
        all they're worth. They knowingly do something illegal. You
        shouldn't let them get away with it.
        -fucked passenger.

        \_ Get a life.  All airlines do this.  Switch airlines, and your
           next carrier will pull the same over you.

2/26    How does a hot air balloon pilot control the flight path?  I'd think
        one can only control the vertical movement using the flame.  Thanks.
        \_ You move vertically trying to catch wind currents blowing in the
           direction you want.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_ballooning

7/19    Isn't there an airport tax at SFO where every departing passenger needs
        to pay?  I can't find any info on http://www.flysfo.com  Thanks.
        \_ Sorry for my previous incorrect comment, all enplaning passengers
           pay a Passenger Facility Charge of $4.50.

           \_ Thanks!  I thought it was in the neighborhood of $50.

1/12    Dear Narita and Taipei flyers. I'm thinking of flying to Taiwan
        and Japan for 2+ weeks and someone suggested that I should get
        a round trip flight from US->NRT->TPE, then TPE->NRT and
        stay in Japan for a few days, and finally NRT->US. Should I just
        book directly on JAL or ANA? Would travel agency be able to
        get a better deal? Advice please...

12/1    Is it just my imagination or flight attendants in China are younger
        and more attractive than the cougars I see in US domestic airlines?

        \_ you're a pathetic loser.
        \_ Of course this is not your imagination.  Try flying on Singapore
           Airlines and JAL and ANA.  The female flight attendants look even
