Another discount airline looking to pack people in aircraft like sardines. Just say “no” to this misery.

You give me a two hour flight for $25 and I’ll gladly use these seats.

The Bee could have an article on putting people in the luggage compartment.

They could call it “no class”.

Lol.

these airlines can piss off. hey, there is a market out there of people who will stay at Knights Inn, and so if there are people who will fly at Airline SRO, that is fine.

It won’t be me.

I spent plenty of time in these seats, once for 12 hours. It always smelled horribly like kerosene, my feet were frozen and my head was sweating...

Not even steerage.

People aren’t passengers anymore.

They’re cargo.

And that’s why I refuse to fly.

Wonder if these seats will find their way onto private business jets, the type you see flying to Davos for the globalist pow-wow?

This is, after all, a story from Europe.

you can pay for better seats, this only affects those who want something for next to nothing.
