More Air Travel Tips

To add to this previous post
- Watch your intake of alcohol. Not only does sitting in the airport bar watching the game increase the chances of missing your flight, if you are intoxicated you can be kept off the airplane. Yes, you read that right – if the agent at the gate thinks you would be a hindrance to smooth flight operations they can refuse to allow you to board. You may be able to take the next flight if you have sobered up, though if the next flight is the following day you are on your own for lodging, food and ground transportation. If you are too belligerent the airline can elect to simply refund your ticket and send you off to fend for yourself – or have law enforcement take over.

They Said It:
I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form.
— Calvin Coolidge

I got my roommate, who couldn’t even stand up on his own, who was on 14 beers and 2 vicodin, on a plane.
It’s pretty stinking hard to not get let on a plane. Instead of not drinking, I would suggest learning how to handle your liqour like a grownup.

Sounds like someone at the gate not wanting to deal with the problem – and passing it on to someone else. “If I let him get on the plane, the flight attendant can deal with him” Passing the buck happens far too often – not just in the airline industry.
