Forget first class: here's what flying is really like

A perfect followup appeared in the New York Times today to the Times's story posted here yesterday about what lots of money for first class tickets will buy in airline travel these days. Read columnist Joe Sharkey's recounting of a trip from New York to Arizona that will resonate with any frequent flier these days. It's about what it's really like for airline customers in the coach cabin -- last to board, jammed into a seat, no place for a carry-on bag. Happy trails folks!
