Plane Travel Etiquette?

Here's a very funny and helpful post from Annarchy called, 10 Things I Hate About You, Travel Edition. Check it out. Hat tip to Warrens via Twitter.

Have you met good business contacts on a flight? I have, but it happens less and less as we all get more irritable and iPodded on planes. And now - with security lines long and flights full and fewer comforts - we are all trying to fit in eating concourse fast food bought 2 hours prior and make up for sleep lost due to getting up at 3am to get to the airport.

So what's with the food, anyway? If I buy a Wolfgang Puck Express Chinese Chicken Salad at 11am and eat it at 1pm (after waiting for the plane to take off and get to cruising altitude) am I in the "danger" zone from a bacteria perspective? I think so. I wonder if food poisoning has gone up since airlines cut food service....

You know, I didn't even think about the food poisoning angle.. but I gotta believe it's caused a bit of stomach upset! And let me just say... I hate it when people bring food onto the plane. But then again, we've established how cranky I am... ; )
