A flight attendant just got on the PA to ask us to lower our shades "for better viewing of the in-flight movie."
Fuck that.
I'm not watching the crappy in-flight movie. I'm on an early west to east cost flight and depending on my iPod and the abundance of daylight (I got a window seat by choice) to help adjust my sleep schedule. I'd rather not be falling asleep tomorrow morning during the talk I'm giving. If this was a red-eye flight, that'd be one thing. But for most of us, it's either 10:30am or 1:30pm right now.
If the other person in my row asks me to close it, I will. But she looks perfectly content to me.
Why don't they also ask everyone to return their seats to the upright position for the comfort of those using laptops to try and get work done during this 5 hour flight?
Because this isn't a flying office. And it's also not a flying movie theater.
On the other hand, if this is my only complaint so far, things are going well.

Be careful with Lufthansa!! I recently changed a flight from the US to France for one person only, since my partner was not traveling .... yep... LUFTHANSA charged me for both changes....... I complained first to LUFTHANSA then thru AMEXCO when LUFTHANSA failed to respond, but no dice!!! Lufthansa ticket agents are incompetent... and border on being rude..... or worse... So it cost me $100 to learn not to deal with Lufthansa again... I feel that this is FRAUD...and will be addresssing the matter in small claims court... I certainly hope that anyone reading this message will think twice before booking any flight with LUFTHANSA!!!! Are they trying to get even for WWII??? Do you want a good , honest Airline ???? Look elsewhwer!!!!!!!

I'll soon be going to small claims court with American Airlines over my ruined clothing. On August 26, 2003 I was on a flight from DFW to DEN. I arrived but my soft sided luggage did not. Some 20 hours later it was brought to my hotel. The contents where soaked in oil, water, and smelled of jet fuel. AA gives you a contact number, 1-800 / 535-5225 for checking on the status of your lost luggage. At anytime you can say "Agent" and supposibly contact with a baggage claims rep. After my ruined luggage arrived my first contact was via there 1-800 number...that was a mistake, they just argued it was normal for baggage to get wet and denied their responsiblity in the matter. Now we have to go to small claims court and show the damaged clothing along with evidence from AA to show the lugguge was unexplained for 20 hours.
Should be a slam dunk after the judge has a look at the condition of my garments.
