No 13thDay of the Month, 5thDay of the Week Post This Time. But lots of AA rant.

Yeah, I know this year there are supposed to be three Friday 13th's and I had intended to post them up but on this month's Fri 13, I was busy traveling and getting blood circulation to my legs cut off on a 2 hour Fri 13th night flight back to Miri via AirAsia, the sardine-packing specialist airline with seating arrangements meant for Hobbits, babies, and people without legs.

Next time if I need to travel via AA again I'll go for the hot seats. Or take airliners meant for actual humans.

While I applaud the AA business model, I can't really bring myself to like their services. I mean, how hard it is to lose a row of seats from the Airbus, taking out just 6 passengers and adjusting to 2 inches more legroom for every other seats?

To make things worse and further show how AirAsia has grown to become an arrogant airline company, a flight attendant on that flight demonstrated how much of a chowderhead she was when, during boarding while I was seated in the (D) seat next to the aisle, in order to allow another fellow passenger who'd come in later into the middle seat (E) next to me, I had to stand up and get out before that passenger can get in.

The flight attendant immediately instructed me to sit down.

How smart. I didn't bother explain and ignored her completely after that.

Traveling tip: If you plan to travel on 'sardine can' airliners, choosing unpopular dates to fly such as Friday 13th gives far less annoying passengers to joust for overhead baggage compartment space.

Emergency Exits

I prefer to sit at the seats beside the emergency exit, it's more 'spacious' compared to the other seats.

Yeah, I realize that.

Yeah, I realize that. However, I think the seats don't recline on emergency exit rows, unless it's the second row.

That said, emergency exit seats on MAS's Boeings offer even more legroom space (so you could run in between them) and one less seat, meaning one less passenger sitting next to you (so you don't have to get out every time someone needs to have a bladder drain mid-flight because they didn't go at the airport waiting lounge).
