57. Because of my hip replacement I get frisked every time I fly.
I HATE flying anywhere now, not just because of the indignity of being frisked every time.
Most airplanes are nothing more than airborne buses. The coach seats are crammed in--and with
the number of obese Americans--the chances are there will be someone overflowing their seat into yours.

The food for purchase in coach is awful. Pay for baggage handling, unless you carry on. Make sure
to get a seat in the back and hope your connection gets you there early enough to be first to board,
or there will be no room for your carry-on luggage.

Every time I have enough miles, I upgrade to business/first class. It makes a huge difference
in comfort.
