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.
This has been a public service announcement.
