Mental Baggage

I love the letters in the Traveller lift-out of Saturday's The Age - there are often good tips. Lately however it seems to have become a whinging forum about seat backs being reclined to the annoyance of the person behind. Seat backs need to be upright during take-off, landing and meal service - with cabin crew advising people when appropriate. At other times it is the choice of the traveller, and everyone is free to recline their seat whenever they like. I have found that this does not stop me from watching the in-flight entertainment or reading or sleeping.
The letters made me wonder about not only the physical baggage we carry on a flight, but also the mental baggage. If such a trivial thing is so important, how do you cope when something serious goes wrong? - if this is the worst thing that happens on your trip, be thankful!
Lighten up!

Light travelling!
