2024 was the last time I was on a plane - 6 hour flight. My strategy is to expect to have the worst experience possible - crying babies, flight-long insipid conversations louder than dinner table volume, flight long reclined seat in my lap, child or adult kicking my seat, piss all over the lav, arguments, fist fights, disgusting fat bodies next to me and a snack and drink I finish before the attendant moves the cart. When I was younger, I would board loaded so I could sleep, but now I just sit there and take it. It’s no different than being in jail or Walmart or at a sporting event. I’d rather take an asswhippin than get on a plane again. The worst of humanity in an aluminum sausage casing.
Ha, I have to laugh. I fly frequently but my last flight in August , I had finally experienced what I’ve always dreaded happening, a lady that was probably 450 pounds sitting not only next to me but actually on my leg, with her leg extended into my foot space. She was very apologetic and clearly embarrassed. I’m hoping it’s a once in a lifetime experience, however my next flight, I booked first class 🤣. It’s 6 hours long.
My best friend who flies all the time says the flights are mostly all fat baby mama’s talking at the top of their lungs.
I never care to fly again.
I flew from Boston to Anchorage last month on Delta in Comfort Class - not terrible, but man, did you know Anchorage is halfway to Tokyo?
Flew home from Vancouver - which is ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES East of Anchorage and EIGHT HUNDRED MILES SOUTH of Anchorage.
Anchorage is far away.
