Happy Travels in 2010

We’ve all been dealing with air travel delays, increased security measures and baggage restrictions since 2001.  If you’re like me, you adjusted long ago.  You really do arrive to the airport an hour early.  You aren’t disappointed when you see long lines at security.  You have a stockpile of mini shampoos and conditioners and other toiletry items around the house.  (Is it just me, or do memories of classic vacations in the old family van, driving for hours on the highway, and stopping at rest-areas for lunch not seem as bad as you once remember?)

Let’s face it, many headaches that come with air travel are for passenger safety and are performed properly.  Other rules and restrictions just make you scratch your head and ask “why?”

In the interest of good fun, whether it’s the seat belt demonstration you’ve heard repeated for at least a thousand times, or no water bottles allowed through security, what are your air travel pet peeves?
