Filled to the brim

Post by Rich »

On a flight from Spokane to Prineville, OR today. Full tanks, all 4 seats filled, extended baggage (including the area behind the drop-down door) full and several shopping bags of stuff on passengers' laps. The picture doesn't quite do it justice, as there is a bag mostly hidden behind the shopping bags in the center about 2 feet long and 1 foot square stuff with who-knows-what.

Little girls (13 and 10) come with lots of accessories. :roll:

True dat. Most of the baggage is, in fact, the mother's. She owns a roll-aboard (not used this trip) I've seen her travel with that comes up almost to my armpit :shock: . No way that would have worked for this flight.
