Flying is a nightmare for sure.

It was so great in the old days...you youngsters will have to take my word for it.

—Lots of leg room
—Comfortable seats
—Very few fat passengers
—Beautiful stewardesses
—Great food
—Roomy, clean airport waiting areas
—No CNN!
—No TSA

hard to believe, right? ;-)

Captain Rex Kramer arriving at the airport, Dr Thorndyke and Victoria trying to get through security disguised as old people, the old man in the one WKRP episode leaving his money to the Moonies provided they stay out of the airports ... there’s lots of stuff even adults these days have to take our word for it.

You can still get all of that - flying First or Business Class on an Asian airline. :)

You could also meet people at the gate and carrying a firearm was no big deal.
