Brett (how fun that people are actually calling you by name here?) – I am so proud of you! You are a force to be reckoned with. I LOVED the childhood photos and who knew we had the same favorite in-n-out syle? Keep chasing you dreams, Cranky.

Good catch, Dan. That was at the direction of the producer and not my move. I will put my bag as close to my seat as possible. And I agree, that’s really annoying when other people take your overhead space. My point was to put it up and sit down – basically get out of the way.

But don’t worry – I didn’t bother anyone on this plane since we were the only ones onboard before its flying day actually started.

Did you really say be ready “…to put your bag in the overhead and keep moving…?” It looked like you headed down the aisle to a seat away from where you stored your carry on.
I hate people who do that. Especially when I’m the person who comes on and finds the overhead above my seat full (espacially if it’s near the front of the plane) and have to inconvenience everyone by finding an open bin not near my seat, and then making my way back to my seat.

I think the attendants should be preventing people from doing that instead of gabbing in the galley.

Please tell me you walked down the aisle for dramatic effect and a better camera angle and you didn’t put your bag over someone else’s seat. Otherwise, you’re one of the causes of “cranky travelers”!

Excellent clip! Congrats!
Let us know when you’ll be needing your 8 x 10 glossy publicity photos updated.

Brian Lusk – Fortunately, no! Having to report on celebrities all day would probably make me want to jump off a building. If only people cared about airplanes as much as famous people . . .

Hey Cranky,
You were great, Brett. So has “Entertainment Tonight” or “Inside Edition” contacted you yet for an anchor job?

Um, that’s. . . “unfamiliar.” The bugs that come with one-handed typing. Sheesh.

Hi,

Great clip. You are so laid back. You are the kind of seatmate I’d love to find next to me.

As a travel writer and a travel addict, I fly frequently, and I’ve learned to relax and enjoy not only the destination, but the trip itself.

Like you I employ tips and tricks to make travel life easier. But my best advice is to learn to love the tripping as much as the destination: the people, the airports, the unfamiliary sights, the interactions.

I turn everything into an adventure, even airport layovers, and cranky security officials, and I have the time of my life. Guaranteed.

Happy travels,
Sheree

That’s cool. I’m just glad I didn’t get it wrong – that would have been really embarrassing.
