Re: What I hate about travelling
i hAte it when babies cry
especialy if they are sittin next to u

Re: What I hate about travelling
ah sara ..you are back..welcome back babe...
(IN PIA)
my first dislike is the bathroom itself ...i hate using public bathrooms as it is. People forget their manners as soon as they enter the plane i guess, so bathroom was a mess. Secondly, seats don't have enough space in between. I was so uncomfortable the whole flight...I sat through the whole flight and couldn't even spread or straighten my legs..it was horrible i tell u..and getting through pakistani customs is a total different story...
Thirdly, every two seconds they bring you a meal or something to drink. I mean how many times can you eat in few hours time span.
Other than that, I have no complaints..flights within US weren't a problem at all probably because none of them exceeded 3 hours.
Re: What I hate about travelling
yeah yeah tiny seats shminy seats.
I am 6'3" i die in long flights.
as far as kids screaming goes, I am annoyed by it too, especially when they are my kids :(
i hate airplane toilets and try to not use em unless I hafta.
Re: What I hate about travelling
I love flying. Infact, sometimes I try to get longer flights if time permits.
But yea, hate going to the plane bathroom. I actually hate the word "lavatory".
I really dislike US airlines for interstate traveling - No food, a tiny packet of pretzels that has 4 pretzels in total, half can of softdrink, flights are always delayed, they have a high ratio of losing your luggage etc etc.
Re: What I hate about travelling
coolie
i love long flights when i have comfy seats. I read, listen to music, write letters, do some introspection and all. I also enjoy travelling with begum, she is a blast so just having all that time with no other distractions, work, phone calls, guests etc etc.
Butr man travelling with kids is a friggin nightmare. I love em to death but traveling with twin infants or toddlers...very stressful, they cry, u are cramped for space, they cry more, you get dirty looks...they poop, hard to change them in the airplane toilet. It would be better as they grow up but right now its tough.
for short trips, I dont check in stuff. or atleast i dont check in stuff I cant just get there. e.g. if i am going for a wedding, the formal clothes would be in the carry on, toileteries and casual clothes in the check i bag, so even if they lose it or its delayed I am okay. I started doing it after air canada lost my bag (a frigin gate check at that) and I did not get it until like 2 hours befor ethe mehndi 2 days later.
Re: What I hate about travelling
try travelling from nagin chowrangi to Tower in Niaz coach
Re: What I hate about travelling
cant be as bad as north karachi to korangi on c11 :D
or saddar to landhi in c4? i think it was c4
Re: What I hate about travelling
Fraudz, You're right. Its hard with the kids - I see passengers struggling.
I usually don't check in either. but this new restriction of liquids, lotions, etc. makes us check in.
I had to check in a couple of weeks ago because of my cough syrup. They asked me to go here and there to get permission so I found it easier to just check in.
Thanks for giving me a new nick, "Coolie". I think I can help now in taking luggage from one place to another.
Re: What I hate about travelling
i loved to travel when i was alone without kids:(
now its lot of work but still i like long drives.
virgin atlantic has really nice seats
Re: What I hate about travelling
I hate it when people fully recline their seats nearly killing those sitting behind them. It prevents me from putting my head on the foldable table and sleeping.
Kids crying is also quite unbearable. Standing 2 hours (no exaggeration) in security lines is also not very exciting. Lost baggage and no soap in tiny washrooms.
Re: What I hate about travelling
i dont even know how the air plane toilets
look like and i have traveled in a plane
try not using the bathroom for like 2full days
no kiddin
Re: What I hate about travelling
oh yeAh i also hate paki toilets at my
daddi's house
i dint know how to use it
lol
sooo humiliating
OMG
then my mom told everyone
Re: What I hate about travelling
your dadi’s house is an airplane?
Re: What I hate about travelling
I hate Overhead luggage.
Desi people bring so much overhead luggage into the plane that it takes forever after the plane has landed to get out because desis take their sweet time getting that luggage from the overhead compartment
also desi children always crying, etc, just drives me crazy
Re: What I hate about travelling
I can understand a 6 month old crying, even a 2 yr old crying, but desi kids screaming like newborns while they are 5 is just unacceptable.
Re: What I hate about travelling
^^ ya crazy
thats why I always avoid taking Desi owned airlines when I go to Pakistan.
Never PIA.
Its sad but I prefer travelling with white people than desi.
Re: What I hate about travelling
Yes Sara516,
it’s a drag to travel in economy especially with eewww ‘lavatories’ and children crying…It is also annoying when people keep calling the stewardesses again and again and again and the worst is when the food trollies are right in the middle of the aisle and some smart alec gets up and tries to get to the bathroom, trying to literally squeezzeeee past the trolley to get there…it irritates me so much! uff why cant they wait!
Re: What I hate about travelling
last time I was travelling from pakistan, this friggin 5-6 year old was screaming because he wanted his backpack which his mum had put in the overhead bin, z and I were both sick and just wanted to sleep, finally we are like, give him the fookin bag already and shut his ass up. This was my gentle mild mannered wife just losing it :)
Travelling with desis can drive normally calm people nuts, I may have posted this before, but some uncle ji wose kids were sitting in the seats ahead of us had some strange fascination with my brother's backpack. Now admittedly it was one of those hightech moutaineering and serious hiking type of backpacks but this side would just pull the backhalfway out turn it around, check one thing or another..right in front of our eyes. My bro politely tells him, excuse me sir, that is my bag. the dude pushes it back in, a little while later, same deal...my bro tells him again, its my bag, u may be mistaking it for your bag..the guy kept coming by and dicking around with the bag, until my bro loses it, and the monologue went something like
wtf, its my f'ing bag, I have told you before, my bag, my f'kin bag, why do yo have to f;kin mess with it, i tell you on f'kin time politely you dont listen, i tell you secind time politely you dont listen, wtf, whats your deal, f;ing a'hole..f'off and dont f'ing f with my f'in bag again :D
I think I may have put too many f'ings in there but really it was something very close to that.
