...that make air travel stink (or, air travel - the condensed version)
10. Showing up at the airport on time but the airport being mobbed because of the heavy snowfall the day before.
9. Tired, overworked ticket agents that inform me that my bags will not make it on time because I am checking in late (after waiting in the check-in line for an hour).
8. A TSA worker who will not let me move to the front of the security line even though I am crying, my baby is crying, and my flight is boarding.
7. Another TSA worker who requires me to remove Zoey's Robeez shoes and socks to go through security even though I am crying, my baby is crying, and my flight is boarding.
6. Hearing my name over the intercom as I am running with baby, stroller, and diaper bag to my gate.
5. Having an A boarding pass but being the last passenger on the plane (see all of above) so getting stuck with the dreaded middle seat.
4. Changing a messy diaper on my lap while in the middle seat (though look for Melissa's messy diaper story - it trumps mine).
3. De-boarding and boarding again with baby and diaper bag.
2. A flight where every.single.seat.is.taken.
1. Sitting next to Tracy and Nolan.

Changing babies on a plane is the worst.
I do love those that have the changing table in the bathrooms though. I wanted to kiss the flight attendant on our flight to Orlando last time when there was one on that plane.
TSA bites, really... taking shoes off a baby! It's crazy but happens every time to us. My kids now go barefoot. :)
LOVE the top ten list... and I canNOT believe that they made Zoey take off her booties!!! OH. BROTHER.
I feel for you!! Air travel is NOT fun with a baby at all!! It gets good around 4 ( or maybe longer with my boy!). I myself proclaimed at Christmas that I was never flying with Chase again. At least they didn't make me take his shoes off! One day when the TSA workers have kids, they will realize what jerks they were. As for Tracy and Nolan, that is completely disgusting! I probably would have told them off (especially if Abby was close by!!).
Let's compare top ten airplane situations sometime--he he--
I agree with you that traveling (with an infant especially) is not fun...it makes matters worse when you are dealing with flight personnel that have power issues and are just down right mean!
P.S.--Remind me to tell you about the lady who was breastfeeding her dog on a flight!
{{{Hugs}}} At least you survived to tell the story!
It's impossible to trump the Tracy and Nolan story in sheer horror, and yet you did.
I am so sorry for you.
