ME&MEE

Air travel can be a pain. We all know that. So, what do you do when the passenger in the middle seat hogs both armrests? Or how do you handle the consistent kicking from the unruly kid in the row behind you? And how can you tell if the problem is really someone else or, dare we say, you? Delta Airlines is tackling the issue of decorum aboard planes with “Planeguage: The language of traveling by plane,” a series of 25 comical videos addressing such issues that can make or break your in-flight experience. The airline is showing some of the videos on board flights this month as well as on their website. Check out some of the videos here (http://blog.delta.com/2007/10/31/planeguage-language-of-traveling-by-plane/). Miss Manners would be oh so proud.

We’ve heard of manicures at the airport. And even high-end shopping. But flu shots? Yep, it’s true. Airports in major cities across the country are setting up flu shot stations on the “airside” of airports—the areas past security check-points. And many travelers are taking advantage of the convenience. Once passing through security, passengers are often faced with a lot of downtime. And for business travelers who spend more time at airports than anywhere else, they might be interested in checking “get flu shot” off their list. But for the faint-of-heart, perusing the high-end stores or getting your nails done before take-off might sound a bit more appealing than getting a shot. We’re curious to see if other services start popping up at airports in the future. What do you think? Is getting a flu shot at an airport a yay or a nay?
