My travel frustration is the people that whine about travel.  They want first class for pennies, expect to be able to carry on 200 pounds of luggage and have the flight attendant be their personal porter.  Sorry this is one of my pet peeves and as an airline employee spouse I've probably seen about every issue possible when flying.
No I don't want to sit next to a person who needs a seat belt extender, or the new mother who has never flown with Jr. before, or the chatty grandma going to see new Jr for the first time, had flight delays, been redirected to another airport, spent the night in a hotel that wasn't a planned expense etc.  I've done all of this with a smile, the plane trip is an end to a means.

I've also had some wonderful perks in business class, great meals, met some really neat flight attendants or row mates, chatted up people in airports during delays. (I recently added a TSA travel blog if anyone is interested in reading.)
