i got window seats on both my flights to and from my home town for the holidays and it's frickin great! i thought about the position of the plane and the most likely direction it will take off in given wind conditions (i have autism haha) and got the best seats in the house so i can see the land durind takeoff! i farted in the guy's lap next to me when trying to get to the toilet but that's what you get for not moving out to the isle you rude dummy!

I don't get why people get snobby about airlines. It's just a big frickin' metal box with seats in it no matter who you fly with. Just sit down, shut up and read a book, you can do that on any flight. Stop whinging like a 1st world millenial baby and be thankful you are even able to fly. 'But oh no this one serves me crappy pies with half an inch more leg room for an extra $200 boo hoo.'

I'm mostly just happy that I'm able to travel at 450-500mph and go places quickly that people not even a century ago were stuck taking multiple days doing. For instance - the Empire Builder between Portland, OR and Chicago - 46 hours by train, 32 hours (straight!) by car, or less than 4 hours by non-stop flight. Yep, flying owns even if I'm crammed into the drat thing like sardines and it can be a pain in the rear end to deal with people, security, etc

I'm kind of pissed that, at least in terms of speed and passenger comfort, flying today is basically the same or worse as it was in 1959 on a Boeing 707. It's well into the 21st century and I was promised everything would be hypersonic and luxurious by now. The Concorde first flew test flights in 1969, and routine pax service in 1976. When I was a kid, that kind of thing was supposed to be the Way of The Future. Now they still cram us into generic uninspired loving widebodies that still cruise at Mach 0.8 and have no space age sex appeal.

It would probably take a major advance in engine technology to bring fuel costs down low enough for them to even consider improving comfort. Plus even if the major airlines offered comfortable seats for all passengers, the budget guys would find a way to do it cheaper and people traveling on a budget would still go with the cheapest. Which is why I think budget airlines need to go. The more people who choose to go with the cheapest of the cheap, the higher the major airlines need to drive their ticket prices to stay in business.

One time I got a massive case of the shits 1 hour before landing after a 13 hour flight. At that point the lights had already gone up in preparation for landing. I was sweating by the time it landed. Then I grabbed my bag, pushed everyone out of the way and booked it through the terminal sprinting to the nearest bathroom just in time before my rear end exploded. And that is the tale of how I reached a state of mental nirvana.

Low cost carriers may be more likely to cut corners with maintenance and such. Some people value on-time departure, arriving at their intended destination, and arriving safely.

Unless the plane is literally on final approach or in the middle of crazy turbulence, on most airlines you can usually get away with just getting up and going to the bathroom whatever the signs say

thathonkey posted:yeah imho gently caress poor people we can & should take more steps to immobilize their poor asses All I was trying to say is that there should be a minimum standard of service airlines have to meet so that companies can't keep cutting things and forcing the bigger airlines to drive up their prices to make up for the people willing to be treated like actual cattle and would probably even stand the whole flight if it meant they could save 10 bucks. e: in other words, incentivize adding features/comfort while keeping an affordable rate to get more customers instead of racing to the bottom. yeah I eat ass fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Nov 30, 2016 |
