SOUTHWEST ROCKS

Got home about an hour ago from our Thanksgiving in Florida and I have to say that I was superimpressed with Southwest's service. Not only do they treat passengers like human beings and act as though they're glad to see you, but going both ways the flights arrived almost 30 minutes ahead of schedule - which beats at least 3 hours after the designated time that seems to be the pattern for any airline you'll fly out of JFK!

They've adjusted their seating arrangements too, but it's interesting that however near to the 24 hours in advance you get on line, you're still some way down the line!

Today I got an exit row seat, excellent service, a short flight and even the coffee was marginally less disgusting than what is served on most planes.

So that's us back. As far as I know, I don't have to get on a plane again for a while, which is a relief.

Tonight we're having a Thanksgiving Dinner at Charlotte's, though she's serving chicken as turkey isn't among her favorite meats.

Are you allowed to do Thanksgiving with chicken???
