Upgrade: Travel Better posted this video that pretty much sums up the state of air travel lately.  It seems that the comedians of the 70s forsaw the grim future of aviation…

Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Carol Burnett.  Enjoy.

ABC News has put together a list of the WORST Middle Seatmates that you don’t want to get stuck next to on an airplane (but you most certainly have at some point or another while flying).  Some of our (least) favorites:

3. Jack in the Box. This middle seater has a lot of important things to do during the plane ride, including making out a grocery list, playing Solitaire on his laptop, updating his Christmas card list and everything he needs to work with is — you guessed it — in the overhead bin. So, he gets up — to grab that pencil. Wait, he forgot his pad of paper — up again. Wait, he needs the laptop — up again. Wait — well, you get the picture.  Bonus Points: Every time Jack opens the bin, something falls on your head.

9. Snuggle Bunny. Snuggle’s sin is fatigue. Fatigue and the inability to distinguish between your shoulder and a pillow. Snuggle will snore away the entire flight, in comfort — on you.  Bonus Points: Snuggle Bunny has a drooling problem.

This traveler hates to admit that she’s guilty of being a texting twit and a lavatory lizard.  Check the list out and make sure you’re not guilty of any middle seatmate deadly sins!
