I'll get on a transatlantic plane without carry-on luggage when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

(Or when they pay me the full replacement price of my checked luggage when I board. On the unlikely chance I ever see it again, and on time too, I'll gladly refund the money... minus a modest handling charge. AND they must have at least three decent full-length novels in the passenger cabin for me, as that's how many I'll need.)

lol ... yeah ... I guess it's movies and chatting up your neighbors for entertainment!

The no water bottle would make me NUTS though!

I wonder if you can bring an EMPTY bottle, and have them fill it on the plane.

Just ... blech!

If movies and chatting up your neighbors is the best I can hope for, I would rather be sedated. (Come to think of it, that might be a win anyway. Some people I don't even want to SMELL for ten hours. It might help with jet lag, too.)

And boy do I agree about the water bottle.

some people i especially don't want to smell for ten hours :)

Word. The guy with exceptional BO who also turned out to be incontinent (likely due to excessive alcohol, as he was not, shall we say, prepared for incontinence)... that was a bad, bad flight.

I think when they give you water, they fill it from a bottled-water bottle. Plead to get one -- or offer to pay.

No kidding. How much you wanna bet the price for those will rise? ;-)
