As long as I get on the flight, doesn't matter if I'm waiting at the gate or waiting in the plane. I dont care if my carry-on gets checked under the plane, I'll keep my expensive stuff under the seat in front of me in a personal.
It really boggles my mind that people get upset about airline travel. You're paying a pittance to travel thousands of miles in a day, and you get free snacks and tv. Oh you're uncomfortable? Less comfortable than taking a car, bus or train that will take ten times as long and is much more likely to crash, and probably costs more? Cool cool cool.
Modern life is so hard.

- iaseiadit 3y agoNever understood the mad rush to be the first person crammed into a stuffy metal tube where you’ll be stuck for the next several hours.

- recursive 3y agoI didn't even know there were pillows and blankets. I rarely use the overhead space. I've never seen it run out, and I rarely fly on flights that aren't maxed.
- throwawaaarrgh 3y agoI actually count on them to run out of overhead space. It's a free checked bag! Albeit a small one... I'd just rather not have to deal with trying to cram my carry on into an overhead, and then the psychotic rush to grab it and run down the aisle as people behind you try to trample you when leaving. Nobody has any chill anymore.
- bagels 3y agoOne difference is who gets forced to check bags so that the dozen companies that process the luggage steal, damage or lose your bags.
- csomar 3y agoThat's because carry-on luggage policy is rarely enforced. So people have to make do with rushing. Some people take multiple items with them on carry-on and do not use the seat in front.

Why is it hard to understand that people want to travel in relative comfort?
- hudon 3y agoI think the point is we chose a life of separation/distance, and now we whine about the relative discomfort of magically flying in the air thousands of miles in a few hours to cover that distance. Instead, we could either choose not to live so far apart or choose to accept the consequences of our actions.
