Customer "Quotes"

"Everything was absolutely wonderful last week. Tom, our driver, was good, and those few extra bucks spent (on the Motor Coach) with the extra room and washroom for all of us was completely well spent. We actually managed to avoid the rain on the roof top." -Donna
 
"My driver Stan (#22) was great!" -Mike

Murphy Laws For Frequent Flyers
 
No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight.
 
If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.
 
If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.
 
If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers.
 
Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory.
The crying baby on board your flight is always seated next to you.
