4) Be kind to people: the crew, the gate agents, and your fellow travelers.
5) Be prepared with a book, downloaded shows, etc in case aircraft doesn’t have screens or the WiFi is inop.
6) Pay attention when you’re walking through the airport to avoid collisions.
7) Use headphones.

With the holiday travel season upon us, may I offer some reminders:
1) Unless you have mobility issues, please don’t yank the back of the seat in front of you when you are standing/sitting.
2) Large item in the overhead, small one under your seat.
3) Pack your patience.

To be continued…

This is an actual thing that happened to me yesterday at the New York State Museum.

Okay Bluesky friends - give me your best healthy meal prep recipes. I’m hoping to bring more meals with me for my trips this year to save money and be healthier. No dietary restrictions, and I eat just about anything!

And following up on that: be kind to the gate agents, flight attendants, and other airport employees. We are all working over the holidays so you can be with your family/friends. A simple thank you, acknowledgement (saying hello) during boarding, or a smile is all it takes to help brighten our day.

Holiday Travel Tip 3: Pack your patience. There are a record number of people traveling this weekend, an arctic blast preparing to come down on the Midwest, and a shortage of air traffic controllers. Flights get delayed, and most of the time it is out of the airline’s control. Be kind.

Holiday travel tip 2: Give yourself PLENTY of time to get to the airport and to get through security. This weekend is going to be super duper busy. I’d much rather have time for an overpriced airport cocktail before travel than to be running Home Alone style through the terminal.

Holiday travel tips: If you have dietary restrictions, always bring snacks that you know are within your requirements just in case the airline doesn’t have anything that fits.

Can you imagine if she and Tonia Haddix were introduced?

Love having two lady pilots on my flight! Love my other 2 (male) FAs but an all lady crew would have been the best!

Being required to wear heels and work 4 flights and then have to hike across the airport for your last flight with no chance to get food is torturous.

Also, yes, I have loved Adam Brody since the Seth Cohen days.

Democratic Governors Form Coalition to Safeguard Democracy Ahead of Trump Term Read more here.

NEW: Governors JB Pritzker (D) of Illinois and Jared Polis (D) of Colorado form a nonpartisan coalition of governors to protect and strengthen state-level democratic institutions ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s second term.

Michael Connelly is one of my favorite crime/thriller authors. Out of My Dreams is the 3rd book in a series about a young girl with cerebral palsy. It’s a YA series, but I fell in love with it immediately!

I just finished The Waiting by Michael Connelly. About to start Out of My Dreams by Sharon Draper

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Here’s a tip: don’t vape on your flight.

Another tip (Christi’s version): Don’t vape on your flight and then start crap with the person who told you to stop before they report you to the crew unless you want to meet the local cops when you arrive.

Officially deactivated my app-formerly-known-as-Twitter account today. My mental health has already improved.

In my (eek) 40s now, and fairly new to the Swiftie gang. Hi all!!

It’s way too early for people to be bitching in the van on the way to the airport.

Overheard at lunch in Buffalo: “I love the urinals in there. I’d love to have one of them in my bathroom.”
