Long Plane; Not First Class

For those of you who remember my Turkey trip know that I used frequent flier miles to go first class, complete with gourmet meals and my personal pod. Well, the France Air trip, while direct from SFO to Paris, was not so nice. It was kind of dirty and a little worn out. For example, the headphone jack did not work properly and i could only listen to music or the movie from one the left side or the right side, not both. Also, we got chewed out by the air frqnce check in person because she said we were soooo late, 1:15 minutes before depqrture, and she said, in great exasperation, she had to change screens on the conputer because of it. But we made it.

On the next leg, to marakesh we had to be rescreened by security and got busted for sunscreen and toothpaste, under the legql amount for liquids but in too big a container, a tiny pocket knife that i suspected might get busted, and an epi pen, for bee stings, which had to be escalated to two supervisors before it was allowed through.

But as i said we arrived more or less in one piece.
