What is the deal with people not following instructions on planes?!? They seem to have no respect whatsoever for the flight instructions given by the airlines.  I don't know about them, but if something can interfere with the aircraft or cause safety concerns to myself I listen! It occurred quite often on the trip so far from the the incident with the girl beside me on the flight to Los Angeles who couldn't be bother to shut down her MP3 player until told a 3rd time to the guy across the aisle from me on that same flight who arrived late and decides to make a call on his cell phone right after they just tell us to shut all cells down.  Then there is the guy on the flight to Fiji who decides not even to bother buckling up for the takeoff but to lie down across 4 seats instead.  Can't he even wait the short time it would take us to get up in the air before stretching out?!? <sigh>

The plane flight to Fiji was REALLY empty.  Everybody on the flight was able to get a whole row of seats if they felt like it which was great for sleeping.  The movie selection wasn't too great so I watched Invincible with Mark Walhberg which was OK and then slept most of the way.  The flight staff were all very friendly and nice on the flight.
