Maria,

I hope that your dad is OK and that you can manage the travel allright.

Instead of paying for 3 seats, can you take flights that are likely to be mostly empty... like a red eye? Just pay for one and hope that you can get a row to yourself?

Maria,

I'm sorry to hear about your father and hope that he is/will be all right. He (and you) should also seriously consider giving up his driver's license. I am very aware of the freedom he'll have to give up too but better that than his or someone else's life. I realize this is unsolicited advise but I speak from personal experience (no deaths were involved).

Good luck with your flying comfort/cost. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. Sometimes you just can't win.

no, actually re flying to Tampa, not sure why flights are so packed tho may have to do w/direct flight red eye pref., Tampa is a big airport like LAX (nicer I think), and day flights (only choice return direct or connecting) every time I've flown in last few years full to LAX. People keep asking me if they can sit in my extra seats!!

I cannot take the chance re not lying down. Otherwise I feel like vomiting from pain it's just so bad to sit for any length of time plus back goes out for week or more after sitting more than hour. I cannot get up and move around enough.

Well, maybe Cortoss for vertebroplasty will be FDA approved as well as multi level ADRs by the time I get off this fence!!

Dale, re Dad, yeah, I agree...
