The Cranky Flier Wins!
Brett Snyder, a.k.a. The Cranky Flier.

Congratulations to Cranky for beating me (sob!) and the other finalists who were up for Best Informative/Practical Travel Blog in the 2007 Travel Blog Awards. Cranky also won in the Best Single-Author Blog category. And he deserves it, for his nifty blend of insight and humor, and for holding down a full-time job while also single-authoring a blog. Believe me, I know what a time suck that is.
What I don't know is: That's an awfully comfy-looking airline seat. Is he flying in business class? And if so, why's he cranky? Maybe that kid behind him is kicking his seat?
You can check out the blogs that won in the other categories at Upgrade: Travel Better.

Well, thanks Wendy. You're right, those seats are pretty comfy, and I was definitely not cranky that day. Thanks to some friends at British Airways, I was able to fly Concorde from London to JFK back in 2002 for a reasonable fare so I had to do it. That's why you see the smile on my face.
I chose that picture because it's honestly the only decent shot of me traveling where I look even halfway respectable. I really should take a new one of me crammed in the middle seat in the last row of an MD80. Then you'll see what Cranky is all about.
