:-( ___ No paper-ticket = no *fun* ___ :-(

dunno 'bout you-all, but
I miss the good-o-days

waiting to-GO
was much-better

'cause i could
fondle that big-fat envelope
stuffed with papers
and
my plane-ticket

this e-ticket thing-y sucks

:-(

I agree but there was also the "fear" of losing it :(

I gotta agree with Mr. Smith. I'm nervous over this print out page from computer.
That ain't no license to fly!

Gee,remember when you could Not use your cell phone and had to Pay $3 bucks a minute for the Plane phone?

You guys sound like a bunch of old geezers! Remember when....come on, it's 2013. Get the boarding pass on your cell phone and get on the plane and come on down! --Fadder Jim

I don't even print it anymore, just show up at the airport with my passport, if your on, your in the system!

This one really grinds my gears. My wife and I usually try to pack all our stuff together, so that we only have to check one large bag. Here's our experience with the 50 lb weight limit on US Airways:

PHL Airport: The bag weighs 51 lbs on their scale (it weighed 50 or less at home). The ticketing agents make us open our bag and take out 1 lb of clothes, or pay an extra $50.

MBJ Airport: The bag comes to 52 lbs on their scale. No problem, mon! Good nuff! and they put bag on the conveyor without a hassle.

Remember when Air Jamaica gave you free champagne to get the trip started. That was my favorite part.

I would LOVE that!

My first trip to JA in 1982 (3?) was a charter that left YWG at midnight and had an open bar. After a brief fuel stop in MIA (we got to walk the tarmac) and some "fun" air turbulence, we descended into a glorious sunrise over Jamaica and Negril! What a sight! It was a fuzzy morning waiting for a room at seawind, but a great experience.
Aaah, the old days....daze? :)

Air jamaica used to put an elephant sticker on the overweight bags. One year, to alleviate this, I purchased luggage for my wife that had elephants all over it. I figured it made life easier, she was not amused.

Good one Hussyband!

Air Jamaica used to let you upgrade to 1st class for $100 P.P. one way if at the gate the seats are there????

You could smoke on a plane???? Yuck. Glad that is a thing of the past.
