But on our last flight to South America, the guys in front of us reclined all the way back making it difficult for us to even see our tray, much less eat our food. The guys never went to sleep - just reclined. It was the first time I had ever been really irritated over reclining sesats. <br /><br />Thirty years ago I made the drive across Texas from the Red River to the Rio Grande in McAllen with two babies - following my husband who was pulling a U-haul trailer. The trip from San Antonio on south was much as described above :) It was a single highway and lots of winter Texans in big RVs. Then we had a flat south of Falfurrias.

The REAL problem is they've moved the seats so close together that even those 5 inches impact the seat behind you. And we have MORE room than most Asian airlines!!!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
