my video bag gets a seat on the plane



En route home from the inauguration our flight plan was to go from Dulles to Charlotte, Charlotte to St. Louis. The planes we took were smaller planes, with two seats on either side of the aisle. The overhead compartments were small and so was the space under the seat. So what’s a girl to do when she’s got a bulging video bag that doesn’t fit anywhere?

I talked to the flight attendant and explained my “expensive bag” that needed to stay on the plane with me. Stowing it below wasn’t an option. Lucky for me, he thought the bag was so important that it deserved a seat of its own. (I don’t expect this to ever happen again!) So here’s a little shout out to my favorite US Airways flight attendant. Thank you.

[Sorry for the quality of the photo. I shot it as we scrambled to our next flight, which we managed to make with only about 10 minutes between our landing time and our next flight's take off time. Yes, that's the camera strap in the frame. Uggggh!!!]
