Thirteen Murphy
Laws For Frequent Flyers
1. No flight ever
leaves on time unless you are running late and need
the delay to make the gate before its
closes.
2. If you are running
late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest
gate within the terminal.
3. If you arrive very
early for a flight, it inevitably will be
delayed.
4. Flights never leave
from Gate 1 at any terminal in the world.
5. If you must work on
your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as
you touch pen to paper.
6. 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.
7. The passenger
sitting inside to you has a weak bladder.
8. The crying baby on
board your flight is always seated next to
you.
9. Another middle seat
problem. If identical twins are flying you can be sure
they will be assigned seating either side of
you.
10 The less carryon
luggage space available on an aircraft, the more
carryon luggage passengers will bring
aboard.
11 You have seen all
the films before, or if not the one you fancy either
breaks down in the middle or is just about to reach
the climax when the system closes down for the
landing.
12. There is nothing
on the menu that you fancy except the one item that
has gone before the cabin service reaches
you.
13. And finally when
you do make it to the rest room it is engaged, the
cabin staff then reminding you that under the new
regulations queuing is forbidden. You are beaten to
the door next time around!
