Brownies - Thinking Day Activites

the day of the birthday of my August father




I speak of yet another Valentine's useless.
I could write about my beloved father, in honor of her birthday.
But no, I must, I have a frog on my stomach and I want to share it.
I've been to Pescara on the weekend and I traveled with Ryanair.
I state that in general hate the low-cost airlines as much as I love the traditional airlines. I love to travel by plane, is the only means of transport on which I have never suffered, I like to push the seat back in time to take-off and from that feeling when you ride the wheels off the ground. And then the fact that the distances are almost canceled, travel by other means that would last 12 hours reduced to a couple of hours of flight. Air travel for me has always been a time when being pampered, that I have something to drink, something to read and something to eat, where I can recline the seat and get me a nap, where stewards are gentle guardian angels and discrete.
That's why I love the planes.
And that's why I hate the low cost airlines, particularly Ryanair. Meanwhile
to begin with, when you book, they begin to spam e-mail: confirmation of booking, confirmation and reminder of all the extra services that you have not booked but you may book with discounts to customers Ryanair, confirmation and reminder that you need to check in online within 4 hours before departure, pay a fine of € 40 (!!!) for the issuance of boarding passes at the airport: I believe that cost little, expensive low-cost airline, just everything to me! And if I had the opportunity to check in online? If my printer was broken, the PC was molten, or 120 years, and I do not even know what a computer?
However, already several days before departure, I had broken the boxes and found them unbearable. But it was nothing, it was just the beginning.
The nightmare number two is the baggage; transcribe from one of the many e-mails: "On any flight Ryanair and 'strictly permitted one carry-on baggage per passenger (excluding infants), the maximum weight of 10 kg and no larger than 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 (your purse, briefcase 24 hours, laptop computers, shopping bag, camera etc must be included in hand luggage allowed ). To load the luggage in the hold you have to pay extra, of course: " If you arrive at the boarding gate with more 'of a carry-on baggage or hand luggage that exceeds the size or weight restrictions, We reserve the right to cancel the reservation and to deny boarding or if possible, the passenger will be 'subject to charge a fee equal to EUR35/GBP35 airport to transport the baggage in the aircraft hold . "fly over the genius of the newborn treated to a additional bag. I have already argued that a woman has difficulty in composing the so-called purse. I sweated and reduces the size of the bag and took off essential items that I was sure I would have served, I had to brush up my skills of champion of Tetris to be able to fit it all in a suitcase and leave the necessary space for the laptop and the bag. But I did. If I had done I would have given up stories to go, I think, but will not give them damned 35 € extorted with blackmail. Also blindside you well for a ride on the publishing in-flight magazine, enthusiastically, that the airline with the fewest lost bags, where it is clear that virtually no one on board luggage in the hold. But what I take to fool? How do you lose your baggage that is always with me?
, however, solved the problem of spam, that of online check-in, the baggage, the race remains in place. Yes, because the seats are not assigned, which can also be functional in England or in other Nordic countries ordered and adherent to the rules, but it is madness in Italy where we are only just learning to respect the code. It begins by queuing at the gate, twenty minutes before the open, after which snaps in place of the race, going merrily on the feet of others with the trolley (and there you understand why the weight limit of 10 kg). Obviously you can not travel by foot, at least for now (but Ryanair is looking at ways , and no joke), so everyone has a seat, the problem is that after a while ' run out of places to hand baggage, which are then stored in the hold to treason.
When you have found a place for you and your loved luggage, think you can relax, maybe take a nap even though the seat recliner-style third-class compartment of the train. He will not even offer you a glass of tap water, 'sti beggars, you pay for! But no, after the communications ritual begins a never-ending litany fired at full volume with which the senior cabin crew shows you the whole menu (for a fee) from door to door, all the articles duty free, one by one, and shows you all cash prizes and lottery scratchcards. To search for peace from the intrusive voice raised to levels never used the iPod volume risking a permanent injury to the eardrums, and see the moment of landing like a mirage that always happen too late. When he finally touched the ground, you can just run out of the airplane with a rapidity not think I can have running in an attempt to put between you and that infernal company with the greatest distance in the shortest possible time.
Then, suddenly, a flash. And you realize: what for? Tomorrow, with the return trip, we reply.
