Flight from Hell and worse

 Boston to Philly on USAir.... nice commuter jet but upon landing in Philly to connect to the overseas flight.... 2 miles over moving sidewalks and corridors..... a good 30 minutes.  By the time I got there they were already boarding.  I had passed up 4 chances to upgrade to Envoy class for $600.  Airbus 330  a 2x4x2 layout.  I think I can live with the aisle seat.  Leg room was nonexistent. I'm only 5'10" and my knees would not fit even with the seat in front of me in the full and upright position. The goddess in the seat in front of me was at least 3 times my weight (scary) and had a combination of turrets and the yips.  She bounced on my knee like a kid at the mall with Santa.  I pity her husband who has to be 2 dimensional by now.

I had to get up and stretch about 45 minutes into the flight and was talking to the flight attendant.  Told her this was the most cramped I had ever been on a flight and she said that USAir decided to add 5 rows of seating to coach and at 5'2" she couldn't sit comfortably either.

Worst part of the whole trip???? Paid booze on an international flight.  Are you friggin kidding me?  The food was the worst....  DO NOT EVER FLY USAIR ON AN OVERSEAS TRIP...EVER!!!  

Finally landed and was through immigration and had my bags in under 15 minutes....DO YOU HEAR THAT LOGAN??

Yep... Heading back tomorrow night( 23/03/10) with a new plan

PITA sent me a line to the Bubble Cave that specializes in craft beer from various EU members.  Looks like a nice place to visit on school days!
