[nagdu] flying

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Deb,



I've had to fit myself and my dog into the middle seet of an airline before. 
This was a tight fit, because I am just under 6 feet tall, and my dog is a 
bit over 80 pounds. It works, but noone in that row will have any leg room. 
Whenever I fly southwest I take advantage of EarlyBird Check-In with it's 
accompanying priority boarding. I like to bord with the other pasingers and 
try to draw as little attention to myself and my blindness as possible. I am 
normally able to snag one of the bulkhead seets. This works well, espeshaly 
on the airbuses that southwest operates.





Mark
