In this case, it was, because they told us at the gate.

Looking out the window as the plane picks up speed down the runway and takes off never gets old. 
And make sure they're all in quantities under 100ml. Recently, I had a smoothie with me and had to open it and drink it on the spot while the rest of my stuff was going through the x-ray machine. Couldn't take it through.
I just purchase a drink in the terminal and bring it on the plane, which you're allowed to do, unlike bringing one from home. That way, I'll have something if I need it. If I drink too much before hand, I'll have to go to the bathroom and I'd rather not do that on a plane.
On my flight, the seats had their own TV screens with shows, movies, news, radio, etc on demand. There was even a GPS channel so you could see where the plane was, how high it was flying and how fast it was going. I had it on when I couldn't sleep and couldn't wait to land.
Quoted for the Truth of it.
I was in one on Monday and I will be in one again in the morning. This is so dam true. I loathe and despise them with pretty much every fibre of my being.
Then you ain't hanging out at the right airports.
I mean, sure, the description applies well enough to the big commercial hubs. But if you go find that rural strip with no TSA or metal detectors, where you can go stand on the ramp filled with biplanes and home-builts and watch the Stedman practicing aerobatics 200 feet over the runway....that's a pretty cool place to hang out for a day.

Also, the Starbucks in Terminal A of Newark's airport has the rudest wastes of human protoplasm working there that I have ever met. They wouldn't even take A STARBUCKS CARD as payment! I swear I am not making this up: they were afraid it would crash their computer.

Do you guys have Airline preferences? I could take a pick from a handful for my trip really.
United is the one I am going with at this point...but Delta, US Airways, American Airlines & Continental are also available.

^ I usually fly Continental.
^ And whether or not you can get a nonstop flight to where you're going. That's why I fly Continental, since they offer nonstop from Omaha to Newark. (Midwest doesn't.)
I've done both United and Delta on my travels to the US. I can't say there's much difference (as Lindley said).
+1, non-stops if at all possible.

No kidding. I can't even count how many times I've been on a plane and I still love that part every time.
I love Southwest. But it sounds like you don't have that as one of your possible choices.

I have developed a mild fear of heights - usually when the plane is in flight, I shut the windowshade. But I'll make an exception for takeoff.
I use to love sitting next to the window, but these days that seat leaves me feeling very claustrophobic, so now i HAVE to sit on the aisle. God forbid i have to sit in the middle seat!
