Cold why are you trying to scare me now i am going to be nervous flying :-(


I remember looking out the window ( Love window seats) and remember asking myself why are the wings wobbling lol Smiley Tongue


i don't think i have windows seat i messed up when i chose my seats oh well. Talking about air travel whats everybody opinion on people using the knee defender to prevent people sitting in front of them from reclining. Is reclining your seat an privaledge when you buy your tickets?


During a long international flight? Yes! I'd better be able to recline back!


you heard about the altercation on the United flight over knee defender thats crazy sauce. i have heard both sides , people say if you want more leg room go buy first class seat. I don't know which side i fall under yet. 


Well Flying First class to Paris was like $12,000 not paying that much to fly ...


Well if they don't want the seat to be able to recline, then don't design them with the function to recline. Seat trays are just as annoying but if you want me to be able to sleep and be quiet through the night, then I want to recline. Otherwise I am going to have my light on and read.


Those seats can recline thus I am allowed to.  If you don't like don't fly and take a car,  train,  boat or whatever else.  Just my 2 cents.  I paid for my ticket and it's my right to recline the chair if I want to


+1 If they recline I pay for the privilege to recline my seat. The person in the seat behind me didn't pay for any part of it so they have no right to obstruct my space.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - September 2014

Just wanted to drop in on this thread. This is my first full month in the garden. In July I had a huge boost in my CK FAKO score so I applied for Amex Gold. Then I did a bunch of research and found this site. I immediately regretted getting the Gold card and not PRG, but oh well. From there I added Freedom, Marriott Rewards Premier, PC'd my Cap 1 card and also received CLIs on my Cap 1, Citi AA and my AA cards. Anyways, I got my little app spree out of the way and my wants and needs are now covered. Thanks to this forum I have a much better understanding of how all this crazy credit stuff works. So here I am in the garden. I'm pretty excited to see my scores in two years as right now my FICOs are all around 700, mostly being held back by a couple 30 day lates and a BS paid collection from 2009 so those should drop off along with my INQs from my recent spree.


Anyways, sorry for the rant. I'm going to bookmark this post and look back at it for inspiration in case some great new sign up bonus or card pops up that I **MUST** have.

interesting take , but this knee defender thing would prevent you from even reclining let alone having choice to . It blocks ability to recline its attached right by the tray.

They should not be allowed to be used! If you need more room, YOU book first class. Or book the very first seat in front or by the emergency exit doors. Both have more legroom space and/or no one in front of you. Otherwise, deal with it!

Then I would bring it up to an attendant and that Either A) Refund my money for this flight ( I can try lol) or B) tell them to remove it or C) I will sue or Do something to the airline legally of course.   Plane tickets for economy are what I have seen $500 to go to Philly one way , $500 round trip to San Diego and $2,400 to go to Paris one way, I spent my money on this flight and if i want to recline my Seat I will there is no but whats or ifs to it.

 

 

Honestly should make it illeagl for those things
