Then it's gonna cost you or quit whining and put your knees up.


For an extra $15, Northwest Airlines Corp. will sell coach passengers a few more inches of legroom.

Starting Tuesday, Northwest will ask passengers on most domestic flights if they're interested in paying extra for certain prime seats in coach exit-row seats or aisle seats near the front of the cabin.

I'd pay extra to ensure that only thin people that bathed recently sat next to me.

Geeze Bingley, but then you'd lose what the real experience of modern flying is. They also need to be sloppy with whatever they are drinking. Itis not a real flight without some substance being spilled on you by the person next to/ behind you.

I just always get the kid who ate an onion sammich and didn't chew too well...

I get the sloppy drunks, on flights with lotsa turbulence.

I always get the gorgeously dressed, beautiful women, who ask me if I know some coffee dude named Bingley.....

Oh, so you're the one who keeps saying "Why, yes, yes I do. I am he."

Curse you!

United's been doing this for a while. $25 or $30 bucks extra, each way.

And they get cranky if you ask to move to these seats, even if they're empty.
