Is this when I mention my friend's 5 year old who had filled her pockets with clothes pins prior to getting on a flight without her mother's knowledge?

I have never flown with a laptop before - does it need to be on and in the bin or just in the bin?

Also, if I am checking luggage with my toiletries in it, do those need to be in a quart bag or no?

It's been about 4 years since I've flown (!!!!) What other wonkiness can I expect?

You have to pay $20 more for an "inside the airplane" seat.

And when the bicycle-style pedals appear--Peddle for your life!

I like the wind in my hair. I'll take the wing.

And I'd better get to work on my spin classes.

I'm trying to figure out how to bring my camera bag, my laptop, and an overnight bag without having to check anything.

overnight bag large enough to hold the camera bag going through security (if a bit squished), laptop in slim cushion sleeve that ideally would also fit in overnight bag. and laptop can just be slid out right at security and back in when recovering bags.

Ha! I like!

No, you can check as much as you like.

Check the TSA web site for details. Expect to pay extra to check your bag, though. Tossers.

I got a three- or four-inch syringe needle onto a plane a few months after 9/11.

mac and I fly in Feb for a week's vacation and the airline charges for all checked luggage, so we are both carrying backpacks only. I am already dreading the minimalistic packing.
