Breathe in Scandinavian air

Breathe in, even if the air is an evaporated, dry mixture of jet fuel exhaust fumes. Though I managed to get a bottle of water through security in Chicago, it was confiscated and emptied by a blond chicklet chewer as I passed through Danish security yesterday. Nearly missed my last flight due to the latter delay, coupled by passport control at Castrup as they conducted a long interview with the black man ahead of me in line. And then Scandinavian Airlines couldn’t even offer a glass of tap water on the last leg of a long trip to Stockholm, however tired and thirsty any passenger is likely to be after nearly 24 hours of travel. So much for SAS and its "Star Alliance - the airline network for Earth, the first truly global airline alliance to offer customers worldwide reach and a smooth travel experience". The stewardess said something about budget airlines being responsible. I told her that I didn’t know that SAS was a budget airline and how long I had been travelling. ”Sorry” she said, ”you can buy a new bottle for 25 crowns". ”No thanks,” I said, ”I’ll wait until I get home where I can recycle my own empty bottle.”
