The a/c in a jet runs off the engine. when not in flight ,they run the a/c off the a.p.u. An airplane cools much slower than a car. They would save some fuel if they dont run the apu, but the airlines themselfs are not rolling in the money. with the new laws they have to pay much more for more screening. the price of jet fuel went way way up. Insurance for an airplane is very high. Owners of an f.b.o. handle a lot of money but just make ends meet. I dont think they are holding out to make money. Airlines are just trying to save their companys and jobs. Airlines go bankrupt a bunch, They try to keep prices down for people. It sucks when you feel like cattle in a cattle car!

It always shocks me when I walk past first class on the way out and all the seats are in such disarray, like they had a wild party, blankets and empty glasses strewn all over the floor, magazines aren't even back in the seat pocket...anyhoo, wouldn't you gladly pay an extra 5 bucks for a planet ticket if you knew you could get some real food out of it? There's really no reason why they shouldn't serve food anymore, I think they are just lazy. I mean at least on JetBlue you get something. Other airlines don't give you anything for free. A giant cookie for 4 dollars? I don't think so. It bugs me that planes don’t serve food anymore to regular people, but first class-holes still get their champagne and caviar.

I took a 13 hour flight to Germany from LAX and it was death! Good thing I am here for 13 months. I miss my home in Murrieta, CA and most of all the beach. So, live it up for all us homesick CALi travelers and enjoy the greatness of In and Out! Smack,

It took 5 to get from NY to Paris! 2nd why do they not serve meals?? We got 2. Although from my experience, you are not missing out. On our flight home they ran outta chicken when they got to me since I was in the last row and so I was stuck with fish. Ew, plane fish. Tell Rob and Big hi! I'm jealous you are in California. Sooo jealous, I'm on a little vacation of my own. Valerie went home for the weekend and gave me her room. I have a whole room to myself!! It's just wonderful, but it's no Hollywood. LOVE YOU!

I'm sure they always used to be cold, I'd have to take a nice warm top, but these days you need to be in your finest beachwear to take a flight. It can't be too sell more drinks, as even the ones with free food and drinks are too hot. Maybe its some kind of clever subconscious message to you that you're responsible for extra global warming by taking that flight. Anyway hope you're having fun in LA. Planes are getting hotter!
