    I’ve taken maybe 15 flights in the last six months. This is the first that wasn’t oversold.

    Quite the opposite - 12 of us on board a regional jet that seats maybe 60.

    Granted, LGA-RDU at 6:30 on a Wednesday isn’t the most popular flight, but still.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Assuming you are on Delta 4856, you are just now crossing the James River south of Richmond, if you are on the left side you can see my house out the left window 22,000 feet below

          Was that you with your face smashed against the window?

          I think I saw you. 😬

          Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                Use this to watch jon fly home: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/dl2336

                You won't be able to play the flight until it starts moving, but you can watch yesterday's flight while you are waiting for scheduled departure at 5:15 PM. It looks like the flight has been a few minutes late the last few days.

                Watch the flight by pressing the Play button on the right.

                  By the way, Improv, the woman next to me is ugly. No way I’ll be pushing her face up against the window.

                      Reminds me of this incident. Unfortunately I can't find the raw video, so you have to watch this wrapped in the Inside Edition hectic editing style:

                          Just looked at flights to Miami. Lots of options and we can both go for 11K miles per ticket round trip. That’s like free.

                            No, but there’s too many people with cellphones these days.
