    The lady pictured beside Caitlin Clark is Paige Bueckers, she recently won ROTY in WNBA and she's supposed to be a big upcoming star that will potentially rival Clark. It should also be noted that Caitlin Clark fans are upset because the WNBA gave Bueckner a big celebration for her ROTY award and gave Clark the cold shoulder when she won her ROTY award.

    If somehow I had the first seat, at around 30,000 feet, I'd ask the stewardess to please give me a parachute, and allow me to jump the yell out of here.

    Even if it's shark infested waters below, I'd take my chances.

    I would sit beside Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, so I could listen to them badmouth stevek. :D

    Whoever created this has never sat in first class.

    i definitely would not want to be sitting between lebaby and shaq. i think i would have about 14 inches of seat space available sitting between those 2 giants!!!

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I've been on many flights over the years. Vacation, business, etc. Never sat in first class. Waste of money in my opinion. For what, a bigger bag of peanuts? LOL

    First and foremost... it was just a joke.

    Second... the people in those pictures would be sitting in first or business depending on the flight. But I understand the concept and I would totally sit next to Shaq even if it was uncomfortable. He seems like he would be a blast to suffer through a flight with. Again, it was just a joke.

    Third... I agree that it's not worth it for the snacks or beverages, but I do appreciate the convenience of not having to rush to board to get bin space or having to wait for people to figure out how to deplane like they've never experienced anything like this before. Not for the peanuts... no. Just some days it's worth it to avoid the struggle-bus.

    Can I trade Lebron for Pat McAfee so I could sit between McAfee & Shaq? Those two combined would at least make for an entertaining plane ride.
    Maybe have Shaq foot the bill for 4-5 bags of peanuts and the three of us take turns lobbing peanuts into Jordon’s Elvira weave.

    Those idiots who get in Youtube videos for their loud rants, obnoxious behavior, etc, fortunately I've never encountered one of them on any of my flights.

    My most interesting flight was I was coming back from Chicago after a two week business seminar. Sat next to a very pretty lady. Turned out she was the older sister, by around three years, of a nice girl who was in my same high school graduation class. Of course the older sister also attended that high school. Small world. Had a very pleasant flight chatting about the school, old times, etc.

    I'd gladly take that flight over sitting with any of those pictured.

    I hope there's a special place in hell for those who get drunk on an airplane. The fun ones I tend to enjoy... unless it's a red-eye, but the obnoxious ones... I would be lying if I said I wasn't stopped by consequences.

    i'd say, "look, you can see the aurora borealis!"......then when Shohei bolted to the window i'd get in his seat and sit between him & SGA

    No way I'd be sitting next to Andy Reid. He'd be trying to steal my nuggies.

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭✭✭

    i bet McAfee would uncork one on the flight and when i turned around to see who it was he'd be pointing at Saban
