They have the best in-flight entertainment, free head phones and Terra Blue Chips. What’s not to like? Umm – flight delays. The last two times my wife and I have flown JetBlue, the flights have been delayed. In each instance, it wasn’t the airlines fault – but it was nonetheless annoying.

The most recent flight delay occurred this past weekend. At first it didn’t seem like it would be all that bad. I had the laptop with me, so I thought I’d get on the Web and whip out a few blog posts! Much to my surprise, the Internet access wasn’t free and I wasn’t about to pay for it. This is when the delay began to bother me. I had three hours of sitting around ahead of me. Ugghh.

My issue with paying for the Internet access is that I get it free at a coffee shop after spending a few dollars on a coffee. But after spending a bunch of money at the airport, I still have to pay to access the Web. I refuse to pay for it. Next time I fly, I’ll have to plan a little better for situations like this.

My favorite thing to pay for at the airport:

Parking – leave your car in a lot for a few days and – BAM – you owe the airport $30 – $60!

How do you pass the time when your flight is delayed?
