Seat 21C - No Fluff Just Stuff

Seat 21C

Posted by: Nathaniel Schutta on January 4, 2008

When I was in graduate school, one of my professors gave us a trip report on a conference he had attended. After class we started chatting and he told me that the goal was to travel enough that you wanted to start traveling less - needless to say, I now know exactly what he meant (see here, here and here for various tales of the glories of trips past…) For those of you that don’t fly much, the Jet Lagged blog’s A User’s Manual to Seat 21C pretty well covers the joy that is getting on an airplane these days. Of course some of my friends fly so much that they haven’t seen a seat past row 4 in years but even they have their own horror stories to share ;).
