VNO - BCN

Ryanair doesn't assign seats on its flights, unless you pay extra to sit in one of the first four rows.  Fuck that.  Flying back to Barcelona tonight, we had to walk out on the runway to get on the plane.  Usually I love walking on the runway; it makes me feel like I'm in a Cary Grant movie.  But this was no romantic walk across the runway -- it was a free-for-all of pushing and shoving and running.  I barely even cared where I sat, aside from not wanting to be stuck in a middle seat, but in all that chaos, shoving and running myself seemed like the appropriate response.

Low-budget airlines that don't assign seats probably board more smoothly in places that don't have a history of bread lines.
