these guys used to be daring adventurers with goggles and swag and now the pilots have to wear a button down and the airlines squeeze every penny out of you and every drop of fun or joy or magic or adventure out of the experience.
in the 20s it was a great adventure! in the 60s people wore suits and got proper meals! now we just get xrayed and told we can’t bring in water! i love starting my vacation being treated as a terrorist!
I personally avoid traveling by plane whenever I can, the experience and added stress just isn’t worth the time saved.
1.5 days by car vs 2h by plane, I’ll take the plane, thanks. But you do you 😋
For that amount of time yeah I’ll take the plane, but for travelling from Montreal to Toronto (1h plane vs 5 hours train) I’ll take the train as I’ll be able to work in the train, I won’t have to check-in and go past airport security, be there xx hours before departure, etc
and trains are awesome!
The airlines were deregulated in the late 70s. This meant they could compete on price, instead of just differentiating through features. It’s been going downhill ever since.
I wish I could of tried a plane in those days
I simply of to point out that you of used the wrong word there. You of to realise that doing so can of the effect have making you look very ignorant
Thank you for helping. Can you also watch for people putting an ‘s’ on the word ‘email’ ?
As in “I have five unread emails”?
stop flying and take the train then, maybe you don’t have to take a vacation to the canary islands every year
In the 60s it also cost 10x as much, took 2-3 times longer with constant layovers, was 20x more likely to get you killed, and a lot more likely to give you lung cancer from second hand smoke.
Ok grandpa, let’s get you back to bed.
