What To Do About A Stinky Seatmate In Flight? |
 |
 |
 |
|
Q: On my last trip from NYC to London, the man next to me really reeked, obviously a heavy smoker and infrequent bather. His hair, skin, clothing and breath were putrid. I asked the flight attendant to move me, but she said all seats were filled. Is there anything I can do about it next time it happens? PLMcR, Jersey City NJ
A: Not much if all passenger compartments are full. However, if you’re in a cheap seat when the stink happens, ask if all seats in all compartments are occupied. If not, demand politely but firmly to be moved to a higher-priced seat for free.

Q: Do Airlines Still Offer Discount Fares For Funerals? |

Recently we had a death in the family and I needed to get a cross-country flight. Because it was a last-minute booking, the cost was twice as much as it should have been for a regular booked flight. Could I have avoided the sky-high fee? MMR, Newark NJ
A: Not all airlines offer lower-rate, quick-book bereavement fares. When you first know about the funeral schedule, immediately check online, by phone and/or with a local travel agency to find a cooperating airline. When booking, you must give details, including name of the deceased relative, funeral schedule and locations.

A popular destination for tourists, kids and locals since 1934, it’s also called The Grove. There are dozens of specialty food shops, meat markets, restaurants and souvenir stands.
With Hollywood studios just up the street, the market boasts many stars and would-be stars who worked there as youngsters before they became famous. They include Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe (Miss Cheesecake 1953), Clint Eastwood and Ava Gardner. Is it possible that these three will someday grow up to become Hollywood stars?

The encouraging news from the advanced tech guys is that within a few years, super-fast aircraft will hit speeds of up to 6,000 miles per hour. That means spanning the oceans in just a matter of minutes.
However, getting to and from the airports in taxis, Ubers and cars won’t be any faster in the ever-crowded roadways. So, it has to add at least another hour to the journey. Plus check-in, weather delays, baggage sent the wrong way and the poopy, screaming baby in the seat next to you.
