There is a place where you can buy headphones. Of course, you will have to leave the secure area to do so and come back through security. I leave an extra set in my laptop bag just because of instances like this.

Yeah there are plenty of places to buy them around the gate area. The prices even seem ok but i cant bring myself to do it when i have a couple of good sets at home

Grab the free pair on the flight. Better than nothing.

Free?!?!? Keith, you evidently haven't flown anything but your helicop[ter lately.

I did........ would not work in the iphone...... just slightly too loose, like they made t that way on purpose...

 

Yeah, the headphones are free, but in order to continue to watch the Direct TV after takeoff, they make you pay..... $7.99

 

I refuse.....

 

also on drinks are free now..... Snack boxes they make you pay for..... dont even know how much, and I didnt even ask.....

 

Sucks....

 

Years ago...... airline travel was supposed to be a nice way to travel almost luxurious ........ now, they are merely expensive cattle cars.

Bob's right. I think they're $5 now, and they don't even hand them out unless they play a movie.

It may depend on the airline, but lately they have been free. I pretty much only fly United/Continental and they were free to Palm Beach & Salt Lake in the last 2 months.

 

I agree Troy, I don't pay $7.99 to watch tv on a 3 hour flight, ridiculous. Maybe if I were going overseas on a 10- 14 hour flight, but those were always free in the past.

Lots of planes don't even have in-flight entertainment. I flew to Texas last week. No TV. No movie. Nothing. I've got a pile of free headphones from the airlines. Way back when, the movies were free on the overhead screens but they charged you for the headphones to listen. Now, that there is seat back entertainment and most people have their own headphones, they charge for content. Every time I've flown international, the entertainment is free.

Yeah..... this was the "new" United.......

I hate flying commercially. Fortunately I've learned some tricks along the way to make it less painless.

 

1. Drink enough to get a buzz going. Everything is always more fun when you drink.

 

2. Don't be afraid to take that open emergency row seat. Be persistent. Even if it is someone else's assigned seat, they will sometimes just give it up. If not, you didn't lose anything.

 

3. Build rapport with the flight attendants. They often hate dealing with annoying people, or just get bored on longer flights, and if they aren't total biotches, may welcome the company. Ask them to show you around the jet. When you get to the galley or someplace with some room, don't leave.

 

4. If it is a flight where they have open seating, like Southwest, do not sit in the very front. Go about 2/3 the way back. On less full flights, you should have no problem getting your own row. On fuller flights, but not entirely full, most people sit in the front first. When the plane starts to fill up, will continue to go farther back with the hopes of finding more room, and go right past you. Place your bag in the middle seat of the row, so it looks occupied. If you realize you have no chance of keeping it open, move it out of the way when someone you wouldn't mind sitting next to you approaches. Make it appear like a good seat to them, and a terrible seat to others.

 

5. Take an ambien or other sleeping pill, or just try and be tired for the flight. It won't bother you if you are not conscious. And makes time go by faster.

 

6. Don't let those annoying people bother you. If they are annoying you, they are annoying others. Find the other people who seem friendly buy annoyed, and make fun of the annoying ones. Everyone likes talking crap about people they don't know.

 

7. Try and spot someone who seems a bit uneasy about flying. Tell them you either a) fly all the time or, b) are a pilot or other flying related job. Make them feel comfortable. Then, when anything happens, act like that is NOT normal, and get a little nervous yourself. This will scare the crap out of them, but is funny as hell.

They charge you extra for that now.

Who does?

Who does?

 

Jetblue does as it's touted as an "extra leg room" row. Not sure what other airlines.

United/Continental does.

Yep... United/Continental ..... extra money for rows with more legroom....

 

Cost me $39 for that..... Thats why I refused to pay for the Direct TV... and for a crappy snack box....

I laughed really hard at this one, only because is something I would try.

#8 The barf bags are still free.. get every cent out of them. This will be enhanced with #1 and might also help you with #2, #3 and #7 above. Probably not so much with #4 though.

OMG, those are so funny!

 

 

 

 

United/Continental does.

United SUCKS. Extremely annoyed with them.

It's a shame. Back in the mid to late '90s, I flew that back and forth to Australia when I worked overseas and they were a good airline. Things have changed a lot in the industry.

United SUCKS. Extremely annoyed with them.

 

If you fly a lot you will eventually get annoyed at every airline. I liked Continental a lot. Not liking United as much but still better than Delta or American.
