Fly early. Fly direct. Ignore at your own peril.
And never ever fly through Charlotte NC. I am convinced that the growth rate in the population of Charlotte over the last decade is 100% air travelers who missed their connection and gave up trying to get home.

Wife had a water bottle in her luggage and forgot to close the cap.
Aye jayssus.
Finally get to some height and the stewardess opens the bin and finds the bottle.
Ps
The lady getting dripped on was not happy but really it wasn't that much water..
She failed to appreciate my " they waterboard in coach on this airline"
Just helpless sitting there belted belted and knowing I couldn't do anything.
I was on a plane where a woman dragging a seemingly endless number of duty-free bags got on the plane just before take-off. After she'd crammed everything into an already over-stuffed luggage compartment and we'd pulled away from the gate, something started to drip from the ceiling. It was cologne. Stunk up the plane enough that people started getting ill, and the pilots brought the plane back to the terminal. They cleaned the plane, put everyone back on and we left 4 hours late. That woman had no friends.
