You're right, but for me it's less a comparison between present day and before airplanes existed and more a comparison between present day and when air travel became common (sometime around the 60s). Of course we've made progress in the last 1000 years, but we've lost progress in the last 60 years. It's not a great trend.
- asdff 1y agoWhen air travel became common tickets were still way more costly. Way fewer direct flights and little competition. We are sitting on the laurels of airports that have quadrupled in size today with the conveniences that come with that.
