  1. The only time I’ve ever cancelled an airline reservation because of seating was on BA a few years ago. I found a cheap biz class fare to Europe on BA and, after I booked it, I couldn’t believe they want to charge me for a seat assignment. I immediately cancelled and flew their partner AA at the same price WITH a seat assignment. I guess they didn’t lose money because they have a joint venture with AA, but I remain surprised that this is their business model.

  2. That’s a nonstarter as I wouldn’t want TSA touching my burger, plastic gloves and all. Though I suppose the extra radiation couldn’t hurt the meat.
