Thank you for sharing this beautiful story and for the generous gift you provide to Honor Flight. Even though I've worked in the travel industry for a long time, I was not familiar with their work. What especially touched me about your blog was that Margaret Switzer had been a "secretary", a job that some public figures in the political arena seem to view with disdain. It's great that you were able to honor her and wonderful to see how proud she has remained of her own invaluable contributions to her country -- despite what some may consider her demeaning job. Keep up the great work honoring women -- who, the Chinese like to say "hold up half the sky."

You've got some great solutions already posted. I just want to add that the SW passengers are among the most polite and gallant I've ever flown with. Even if you board late or don't have kids young enough to be accommodated by their family policy, in my experience, others are happy to change their seat to make everyone more comfortable. Just remember to bring a new toy (or revive an old forgotten one) so if the flying gets boring, there's something new for baby to play with!
