it is not getting better

 As if air travel could be any more unpleasant, it is more dangerous to fly places and here's why:  Models may be in your pilot's cockpit to make sure he doesn't fall asleep and let the plane dip 20,00 feet.  

        

Next, if your plane should go missing, the authorities will not know where to look for it.

 However detailed the search will be, they will not know what direction to look, should the plane be hijacked.

 Also, passengers may become violent and decide it's a good idea to punch another passenger to pass the time.

Oh, and you used to be able to leave possessions behind when visiting the wc, but now there are bored bandits just waiting for you to get sleepy and doze off.

 If that's not enough, security and staff may start looking at you as a problem, should you accidentally imbibe tee many martoonies.  Beware, your brain may no longer be the boss.

Speaking of landings, our past two wheel wobble landings usually made it to the ground without fire.

 Also, you will faint, but not from the cost of drinks and food they "SERVE."  No, you may faint from loss of cabin pressure and lack of oxygen.

Then again, there is the issue with drones.  Sure, they can make animals fly (only if they want), but they are a big risk for planes taking off and landing. 

Don't forget to check the wheel wells for hitchhikers and you should be irritated beyond belief, but safe enough . . .

No flip flops

 In the beginning, there were obstacles that made going to Europe that much more special.  Ten minutes after the flight took off, everyone lit up their first of many cigarettes.  Compared to today's issues, they now seem small.  Now we have to strap down people that don't behave.  People used to use  consideration in such close quarters.       

 These days, you have to tell someone to cover up their nasty, smelly feet, if you dare.  It's risky and not recommended.

  I used to think airplane food was the worst, never imagining that they would eventually charge us heavily for the same food.

If you need to get up, you may have to wedge past the guy that thinks he's fabulously funny for dancing in the aisle as a spontaneous show for all to not enjoy.

  Long lines, dirty looks, and cancelled flights usually are the precursor to your journey.  If you are in a country that doesn't abide by the single line rule, do not try to make people line up.  Just go with it, it's all you can do to get up to the front desk.

If I go on a trip, I assume I can afford to pay the not-so-new luggage fee.  Not everyone feels that way, because of the cost.  Not to mention the infamous losing of your luggage shuffle.  So you get to witness several square pegs shoving their oversized carry-ons into the itty bitty compartments.  If your lucky, you won't get struck in the face during this process, as you sit below the determined passenger. 

Oh, also, nobody wants to hear your cell phone conversation that you are shouting over the airplane engines.

When I travel on a flight longer than three hours, the last thing I want to do is commit to a conversation with someone inches away from me.  Inevitably, they will fall asleep on your shoulder, hopefully not snoring.

Once the plane lands, everyone stands up and crams.  Please stop.
