I recently had a 15 hour flight
it was full except for one set of 3 seats that was empty and everyone was eyeing them off ready to take them after takeoff
with a couple minutes to spare a literal israeli woman got on and sat in one of the seats
mfw she didn't even lie down the whole flight, just sat in one seat the whole time
I was on a flight from NYC to LA like I usually do. I got my sleep mask, prepared my headphones, got my spotify playlist duration for the exact flight time, reserved a window seat so I wouldn't be woken up by some tiny bladdered boomer, ordered a headrest from aliexpress, picked out the most comfortable crocks to wear, put on my sweat suit, checked in online for fast entry.
Boarding went well and I had enough overhead space and an empty middle seat. Everything was going perfect.
That was of course until a baby 5 rows up sat down and screamed while we taxi'd. The parents couldn't or wouldn't do anything for comfort or shut that little rat up. It ruined my entire Chi and vibe of the flight. I sensed everyone hated that baby and parents, including myself. The child didn't even cry the rest of the flight but the threat was always there, making. me uneasy. I asked for a refund or at least a discount but the airline said I, the quiet normal person, was being unreasonable. Fuck flying.

Why the fuck would I need air conditioning. I'm not fat and it in lys get hot for about 3 weeks a year. When I go to the US literally everything has air conditioning and the air feels disgusting to breathe. So many fat fucks walking around inside 60F while they never know how hot it is outside. The air isn't fresh and it's disgusting.
It conditions you to be a pussy when it comes to being outside anyway. So many times my family members from the US come to Germany they always complain about how cold or how hot the weather is. Meanwhile it's just normal. Learn to enjoy nature.

I love to humiliate europeans by just subtly challenging them intellectually and challenging their knowledge of the world. Nothing stings europeans' pride more than an having to admit an American was smarter than them.

i always get tomato juice on flights and i used to just drink it straight, until i sat next to a german guy one time on a flight and he put salt and pepper into his tomato juice; i tried that with my next cup and since that day i've never had tomato juice any other way, its fucking delicious

definitely the worst flight I've had I didn't know planes can just lose altitude randomly and its a normal thing to happen.
Not really a story but I was on a 12 hour flight next to two women. I tried to open my kewpie greasy sauce. After a minute of playing with it, I figured out that I have to fold it to make it come out of the center (see pic related). I hold it over my food and fold it, and the sauce squirts all over the two women's clothes. I was so fucking embarrassed that I said nothing to them. Because the sauce was oily, their clothes are probably permanently ruined and they still have to go onto another flight with the same clothes. The woman that got most of the dark sauce all over her clothes was wearing white.
A few hours later, the second round of food arrived. I held the sauce box to look what it is, and the woman two seats next to me almost yelled No, you're not using that. She was watching me like a hawk because of my fuckup. I just wanted to die. I felt like I was sitting in the dentist chair for 12 hours
>I was so fucking embarrassed that I said nothing to them
holy kek not even an apology
Lol, you were caught in a downdraft. Its not a problem at cruising altitude since you're higher than storm systems, but can be a bitch during takeoff and landing.

Fuck, I did something similar and still cringe at the memory almost 2 decades later. We were in the airport food court, and being the bored ADHD 10 year old I was, I was chewing on a ketchup packet, just squishing the sauce inside around. I must have worn away the middle because it popped when I folded the packet in half and bit down on it. There was a screech from the other side of the hall from a young woman who I had beaned right in the face. No one ever found out it was me.

I was in florida March 2020 right when covid hit the news all at once big time, flew back and had a completely empty row, 3 seats to myself, inflight wifi was free and actually worked, and a flight attendant gave me a whiskey and never charged me, I watched Dragon Ball on my laptop (that was the first time I ever watched dragon ball) very comfy memory
I was once in Dubai on for a connecting flight to Cyprus to visit relatives. We landed in the aftermath of a dust storm. It was chaos, the staff had no idea what was going on and was scrambling to get 100s of people a hotel room for the night until flights could leave again.
Because they bounced us around terminals for so long (We spent about 6 hours trying to figure out what to do) all of the real shitty hotels were fully booked, and they ended up putting us in a decent enough 3 star hotel. So that is how I ended up spending a night in Dubai.
Bad stuff >miss connecting flight because of a stupid bitch who gave the ok detach the stairs right after I went to her, I could see people still boarding 50meters away. >spend a total of 24 hours at the fucking airport and pay $250 extra

The kinds of people you can observe at big airports such as DBX are fascinating.
My favorite encounter was this old Asian man sitting at a coffee shop flanked by around 3-5 young Asian girls. Every time he would say something a lot of them would just giggle. To this day I can't decide whether or not he was the Asian Heffner or just a father of a big family
Don't really have any stories but if you're the type to attempt to make friends with the dude sitting next to you, try not to include the entire plane in your conversation >lisbon to miami >long haired twink filipino sits next to average white kid >starts to force white kid into conversation about life, probing who/what he is >all of this was just a setup so the twink filipino could drop the fact that he as a "sports agent" flying to miami to meet up with a client >on an economy airline, in economy seating >ok lol
all of this was overheard while they're sitting near the window on the left side of the plane, and I'm near the right side of the plane on one of those giga airbuses that are 8 seats wide (2-4-2)

>wakes up as we're preparing to land and blushes as she realizes she was sleeping on me
That's cozy, I had a similar experience with a cute american girl when I was flying once. I was 19 at the time and she looked around my age, during the flight she fell asleep on my shoulder and slept there for the entire flight.
When she woke up she gave me an shy/embarrassed smile.
I would have tried to get her number if I wasn't literally flying to stay with my gf. >says I'm accused of sexual harassment and have to stay at the flight attendant station during landing

>2 years later >on another trip >using the same airline >print boarding pass again >think it should be alright this time because it's a different airport and there's no way it could happen again >it happened again
Fucking China Airlines.
Happens all the time when the airline has arrangements that require physical tickets at certain airports but neglects to disable electronic boarding passes for those connections.
Good thing is that with legacy carriers you can always quickly print a physical boarding pass at the kiosk machines for free.
>2015 >get a cheap flight to the States with Wow Airlines >Only $100, how is this possible >brief stop in Iceland, but shouldn't be too bad >right before takeoff in Iceland, they discover the plane is broken >have to stay the night >no hotels nearby, so airline gives us 2 hour bus ride to Rekjavik because the airport is in the middle of nowhere >arrive at the hotel >have to catch the bus back in 5 hours >get on the second plane >delayed again for some reason >after almost an hour, we're cleared for takeoff >we're way behind schedule for landing in Boston, so the pilot announces he's flooring it >climb 10km at speeds I didnt know Boeings were capable of >both my ears pop >and I mean *pop* >partially def for the next two weeks while my eardrums healed
And that's why I no longer take budget airlines.
lol, wow airlines
i flew with them once roundtrip dtw>kef for $250
getting there was uneventful but coming back... whew lad
we got to the gate 45 minutes to spare before takeoff, intending to pee and get some water in our bottles, but the gate agents rushed us onboard and told us they would be taking off soon
also it turned out that our flight contained a lot of people that were supposed to be headed to dallas, but their flight had been cancelled
so then our flight is kept at the gate for another 2 hours because we are waiting for ONE PERSON that wsa supposed to be going to dallas anyways, why they wanted him to have a hotel in detroit and be on this flight rather than have a hotel in keflavik and go on the next flight to dallas i have no idea. well he never shows up.
lady in front of us is grumbling because she needs to take her medicine but has no water, can she please have water
welcome to wow fuckin airlines, you have to pay for water
she says she only has cash
they say we don't take cash
the stranger next to her says to put it on his card please
the FAs say actually you can't have it regardless until we are at cruising altitude
she's like well can i go get some water in the airport
you're not allowed to leave the flight once you have checked in and boarded
well can i get some water out of the bathroom
and they drop the bomb that NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO USE THE LAVATORIES UNTIL WE ARE AT CRUISING ALTITUDE
and i'm starting to get pissed because i need to pee too because these fuckers made me get on the plane before i could even go pee!
anyways we got home like 3 hours late but at least detroit was my final destination
>flying to heathrow >friend traveling with me made all the arrangements >apparently he's super paranoid about missing connections, so he picked an early flight that gave us a fucking 6 hour layover in baltimore for no reason >have to wait over 3 hours just for the BA people to show up at the desk so we could check in and get through security bc they only do 1 flight out of there per day >mad as fuck but don't say anything bc everyone has travel quirks like that
>on the way back completely lose my mind bc autist friend fucked up reading the timezones and gave us only 30 minutes to get through stupid US customs and get to our connection >as if an act of god, right when I point this out to him some giant muslim family starts making a giant scene at the gate because they won't let them pre-board, flight gets delayed for almost an hour >when we finally land friend tries to check in and then acts shocked when they tell him the doors closed 5 minutes ago
I had a black woman similar to OP's pic fall asleep next to me and her head rested on my shoulder.
Honestly I didn't mind as it has been awhile since I felt the warmth of another human. When she woke up she apologized and called me honey.
>Coast to coast flight >Booked next to a qt 3.14 >Hour or so into the flight, I notice she's watching Paprika on a tablet >I start watching Perfect Blue on my phone >Eventually she notices and we end up talking about Satoshi Kon >Conversation continues through to anime and other topics >Getting along well >During a lapse, I excuse myself and get up to use the bathroom >Get in, shut the door, and drop pants all the way to my knees even though I'm only taking a piss >Gotta air out the boys, they don't fly well >Suddenly, the door opens, >I forgot to lock it >I turn and look and it's the qt who is sitting next to me >My pasty bare ass is hanging out for her to see >She stammers an apology and quickly shits the door >I finish up and head back to my seat >Awkward silence for the rest of the flight
Last flight I had opened the bathroom door to some woman taking a piss. Pulled my head back and grimaced as I closed it.
How do you people forget to lock a bathroom door?
kek I know what you meant to say, but I parsed it differently. It read like a woman wanted to have sexual intercourse with mentally handicapped people.
I don't think I've ever met a person with a fetish for actual retardation. I'm not even sure if that's legal to act on.
Holy fuck is cold lobster even enjoyable?
last time I flew, I sat by a black guy that unpacked a box of ribs and rice on the plane. It was waaay to pungent for a 5 am flight. Top it off, his big lips were smacking and flapping around like a cartoon.
Thought it was a one off. Not from a area with lots of afreakans is this a common problem?
I had an attractive middle class black woman put her hand on my thigh because she thought I was scared but really I was just trying to hide my oversize bag
they got fired over covid, the people with talent and intelligence moved onto better things.
Airlines/airports panic trying to hire those people back with the same shit conditions.
Smart people rightfully told them to fuck themselves
I have a question for people who fly all the time? Why do you fly all the time? Like where do you go and what do you do that you need to fly all the time? I just hear people talking sometimes and they're just like oh yeah I have a flight tomorrow and I'll be going to X place next month etc.
Why do you need to fly so much? There's nothing anywhere else that you need to do that requires flying. If you have family in another part of the country, then ok...you might go back once maybe twice a year? It just sort of annoys me that people think they can just fly everywhere all the time all willy nilly.
Here's the truth....there's an extremely large group of middle and now working class people (also nigs now bc flying got cheaper) that need to feel important and for some reason flying in a plane to another city gives them that fulfillment. Your reasons for flying are totally predicated on an illusion of status. You didn't need to fly or go to that place. You just did it to make yourself feel better like you're accomplishing something. I fly back home to family once every other year and I see these people on the plane sometimes and they just look like total fucking lost retards who don't even know what's going on, but their smoothe brains are releasing dopamine by the second bc muh plane and muh fly. It's ridiculous. Listen to me....you're all nobodies. You don't need to fly. You don't need to go anywhere. Stay your fuckin ass home.
TLDR: DUDE FLYING LMAO IT'S A STATUS THING, I'M IMPORTANT AND MY LIFE IS INTERESTING.
Lots of people fly multiple times a year for other reasons anon. Outside of work I've flown for three weddings, mother's day, a birthday, and two vacations.

Not anon you were talking to, but I'm curious, isn't practicing law anywhere between DC and NYC kind of a standard must have? I was up in DC and New England area for a while about 20 years ago for an internship and I don't remember meeting one professional that didn't have a law degree. Regardless of what field they were in, they had a law degree. It was foreign to me bc where I grew up, industry and trade were king, where as a law degree just got you in on a board or government position through nepotism. Anyways I ended up switching career paths bc the culture/people surrounding law and politics is so toxic.
I gotta do it for work. Cheaper to fly me around the country and put me up in hotels for a month each year than it would be to hire an engineer at each of our satellite offices.
Generally yeah, travel for work sucks, but you get into a groove after a while.
And for those that don't know, domestic lounges aint shit. They're typically always busy, never have enough seating and have less food options than the main terminal. bathrooms are usually cleaner though.
Some people use it as a status symbol, personally I dont give a shit, everything is oversold and overhyped these days, so being jaded is a natural thing
#2. budget carriers. that's about the extent of it.
you can fly to another city for under <$80 in my country when it's on sale, but thats basically year round. So you get the steady stream of tightasses that gamble at bringing their 80L backpacking packs into the overhead lockers

Yeah you're right about that. I 100% feel the same way. It's just whatever. I'd just like to fly in peace for once and not have to deal with some mongoloid's fat sweat dripping on me. Whether I fly first class delta or a budget flight. It's all the same now.
You underestimate just how much travel goes on in the United States, which is why intercity flights are so necessary. Otherwise, you'd have to drive a private car. Public transit like Amtrak doesn't really make sense for a strict business or even a vacation schedule; arrival times are very variable.
Hell yeah man...book that inner city flight. Makes so much fucking sense. Muh flying dude. Plus you get to tell peeps you have a flight to catch. You're a cool mother fucker catching inner city flights bc it takes too long to travel around in your overpopulated city. Can I suck your dick?
I finished my finals, went to work and made it to the airport at 1 am. Even though the flight is at 6 am there's no delta employees to be seen. They open up at 5 and tell us that the flight is delayed but that they'll notify the connecting flights even though my flight notifications still say the connecting flight hasn't changed its set time. By the time I make it to Atlanta I choose to believe the notifications and haul ass to the literal other side of the airport from E to T. I'm running with all my shit just to make it to the gate and see that they had just closed the gate. I told them my situation and told me that once it's closed that it can't be undone. I lost my shit tbh. I had to wait in line for an hour for them to reroute me because some old dude wouldn't stop hogging the only employee there. In the end I had to go to Dallas, then to an Avianca flight to El Salvador and then to Liberia (my original destination was San Jose Costa Rica). Instead of arriving at 1 pm I was now going to arrive at 1 am and at a city I didn't have any plans seeing. I go through all that and what do I see at El Salvador? A direct fucking flight to San Jose. Fuck it I make it to Liberia and I wait almost an hour for my luggage. Turns out they couldn't reroute my luggage and I'd have to pick it up at San Jose in 2 days. And I had to schedule my own trip to San Jose I got no fucking help there.

Had I been in your situation, I would've just used the airplane's bathroom, screw the airline procedures. Flight attendants don't like it when passengers use the bathroom before takeoff, but it's BETTER THAN SHITTING YOURSELF
Based.
I would love to have a feast in coach and make the other retards seeth
>YTE peepo don season dey airplames!
bro wtf is this for real
yes, it's real. unfortunately black people do exist.
I recently had a 15 hour flight
it was full except for one set of 3 seats that was empty and everyone was eyeing them off ready to take them after takeoff
with a couple minutes to spare a literal israeli woman got on and sat in one of the seats
mfw she didn't even lie down the whole flight, just sat in one seat the whole time
Fraid so
I was on a flight from NYC to LA like I usually do. I got my sleep mask, prepared my headphones, got my spotify playlist duration for the exact flight time, reserved a window seat so I wouldn't be woken up by some tiny bladdered boomer, ordered a headrest from aliexpress, picked out the most comfortable crocks to wear, put on my sweat suit, checked in online for fast entry.
Boarding went well and I had enough overhead space and an empty middle seat. Everything was going perfect.
That was of course until a baby 5 rows up sat down and screamed while we taxi'd. The parents couldn't or wouldn't do anything for comfort or shut that little rat up. It ruined my entire Chi and vibe of the flight. I sensed everyone hated that baby and parents, including myself. The child didn't even cry the rest of the flight but the threat was always there, making. me uneasy. I asked for a refund or at least a discount but the airline said I, the quiet normal person, was being unreasonable. Fuck flying.

I fucking hate Americans.
Disgusting low class arrogant people
I love being American, unironically, just because it causes so much seethe.
We've got a killer passport, and it's pretty funny watching people shit their pants about us, I agree.
Try opening a bank account in another country. A lot of the time they'll tell you to fuck off because of US regulations are so gay
meanwhile europeans get to bank anywhere within the european union with a bank account that works anywhere in the european union
With my German passport I was able to open accounts in China, Russia, and Argentina easily. With my US passport it was crazy to open accounts in Germany and China.
its easy, i love being from a first world european country
I’m an Amerishart and I could open bank accounts easily in China pre-Covid. And I was on a tourist visa, lel
Ah yes, the mighty Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Monte Paschi
Do i name burger banks which collapsed now or what cancer mongoloid
Post air conditioning
Why the fuck would I need air conditioning. I'm not fat and it in lys get hot for about 3 weeks a year. When I go to the US literally everything has air conditioning and the air feels disgusting to breathe. So many fat fucks walking around inside 60F while they never know how hot it is outside. The air isn't fresh and it's disgusting.
It conditions you to be a pussy when it comes to being outside anyway. So many times my family members from the US come to Germany they always complain about how cold or how hot the weather is. Meanwhile it's just normal. Learn to enjoy nature.
Fuck off retard, 60F isn't even cold and now I live in Japan where these microdick retards put the thermostat to a humid 28C. I hate the heat but i can stay outside in -20C weather forever, fuck your mother
I was able to open a Nordea account no problem
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA
>killer passport
Your OWN government bans you from travel to certain countries, therefore your passport is at a level of Pakistan.
I love to humiliate europeans by just subtly challenging them intellectually and challenging their knowledge of the world. Nothing stings europeans' pride more than an having to admit an American was smarter than them.
Americans unironically have no world news, they only get local/state news, literally bubble brains.
>Burger King 8 closed due to grease fire
>Starbucks 13 has run out of marshmallows
>VOTE YES TO PROPOSITION X, ad sponsored by Pharma-Corp
>School shooting again zzzz
See? This is what I mean. If there's a hint of an American being smarter, europeans absolutely lose their minds. It's hilarious.
You are unbelievably intellectually insecure.
I'm just tired of europeans and their bullshit
Yes, your'e so special, why not go to special places to meet special people ?
I don't need to humiliate Americans. They are a walking mockery themselves.

i always get tomato juice on flights and i used to just drink it straight, until i sat next to a german guy one time on a flight and he put salt and pepper into his tomato juice; i tried that with my next cup and since that day i've never had tomato juice any other way, its fucking delicious

Lol, you were caught in a downdraft. Its not a problem at cruising altitude since you're higher than storm systems, but can be a bitch during takeoff and landing.
Not really a story but I was on a 12 hour flight next to two women. I tried to open my kewpie greasy sauce. After a minute of playing with it, I figured out that I have to fold it to make it come out of the center (see pic related). I hold it over my food and fold it, and the sauce squirts all over the two women's clothes. I was so fucking embarrassed that I said nothing to them. Because the sauce was oily, their clothes are probably permanently ruined and they still have to go onto another flight with the same clothes. The woman that got most of the dark sauce all over her clothes was wearing white.
A few hours later, the second round of food arrived. I held the sauce box to look what it is, and the woman two seats next to me almost yelled No, you're not using that. She was watching me like a hawk because of my fuckup. I just wanted to die. I felt like I was sitting in the dentist chair for 12 hours
Fuck, I did something similar and still cringe at the memory almost 2 decades later. We were in the airport food court, and being the bored ADHD 10 year old I was, I was chewing on a ketchup packet, just squishing the sauce inside around. I must have worn away the middle because it popped when I folded the packet in half and bit down on it. There was a screech from the other side of the hall from a young woman who I had beaned right in the face. No one ever found out it was me.
I love these autism stories
I was in florida March 2020 right when covid hit the news all at once big time, flew back and had a completely empty row, 3 seats to myself, inflight wifi was free and actually worked, and a flight attendant gave me a whiskey and never charged me, I watched Dragon Ball on my laptop (that was the first time I ever watched dragon ball) very comfy memory
every time this picture is posted on here all i can think about is how good it would feel to shove my face between those tits
I was once in Dubai on for a connecting flight to Cyprus to visit relatives. We landed in the aftermath of a dust storm. It was chaos, the staff had no idea what was going on and was scrambling to get 100s of people a hotel room for the night until flights could leave again.
Because they bounced us around terminals for so long (We spent about 6 hours trying to figure out what to do) all of the real shitty hotels were fully booked, and they ended up putting us in a decent enough 3 star hotel. So that is how I ended up spending a night in Dubai.
Nothing too exciting
Bad stuff

The kinds of people you can observe at big airports such as DBX are fascinating.
My favorite encounter was this old Asian man sitting at a coffee shop flanked by around 3-5 young Asian girls. Every time he would say something a lot of them would just giggle. To this day I can't decide whether or not he was the Asian Heffner or just a father of a big family
Don't really have any stories but if you're the type to attempt to make friends with the dude sitting next to you, try not to include the entire plane in your conversation

all of this was overheard while they're sitting near the window on the left side of the plane, and I'm near the right side of the plane on one of those giga airbuses that are 8 seats wide (2-4-2)

That's cozy, I had a similar experience with a cute american girl when I was flying once. I was 19 at the time and she looked around my age, during the flight she fell asleep on my shoulder and slept there for the entire flight.
When she woke up she gave me an shy/embarrassed smile.
I would have tried to get her number if I wasn't literally flying to stay with my gf.

Fucking China Airlines.
Happens all the time when the airline has arrangements that require physical tickets at certain airports but neglects to disable electronic boarding passes for those connections.
Good thing is that with legacy carriers you can always quickly print a physical boarding pass at the kiosk machines for free.
I booked a flight yesterday through the CryptMi app, and it would be my first, and I hope to have a good experience traveling by air

lol, wow airlines
i flew with them once roundtrip dtw>kef for $250
getting there was uneventful but coming back... whew lad
we got to the gate 45 minutes to spare before takeoff, intending to pee and get some water in our bottles, but the gate agents rushed us onboard and told us they would be taking off soon
also it turned out that our flight contained a lot of people that were supposed to be headed to dallas, but their flight had been cancelled
so then our flight is kept at the gate for another 2 hours because we are waiting for ONE PERSON that wsa supposed to be going to dallas anyways, why they wanted him to have a hotel in detroit and be on this flight rather than have a hotel in keflavik and go on the next flight to dallas i have no idea. well he never shows up.
lady in front of us is grumbling because she needs to take her medicine but has no water, can she please have water
welcome to wow fuckin airlines, you have to pay for water
she says she only has cash
they say we don't take cash
the stranger next to her says to put it on his card please
the FAs say actually you can't have it regardless until we are at cruising altitude
she's like well can i go get some water in the airport
you're not allowed to leave the flight once you have checked in and boarded
well can i get some water out of the bathroom
and they drop the bomb that NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO USE THE LAVATORIES UNTIL WE ARE AT CRUISING ALTITUDE
and i'm starting to get pissed because i need to pee too because these fuckers made me get on the plane before i could even go pee!
anyways we got home like 3 hours late but at least detroit was my final destination
>but at least detroit was my final destination
This story just keeps getting worse
lol
i'm like a two hour drive from dtw in the middle of nowhere
i just appreciate being near enough to a delta hub

I had a black woman similar to OP's pic fall asleep next to me and her head rested on my shoulder.
Honestly I didn't mind as it has been awhile since I felt the warmth of another human. When she woke up she apologized and called me honey.

Last flight I had opened the bathroom door to some woman taking a piss. Pulled my head back and grimaced as I closed it.
How do you people forget to lock a bathroom door?
Was she not following you to the bathroom to fuck? Asking for a friend
I don’t know how people could do that. It’s a cramped smelly porta potty.
had the prime opportunity to say it anon, failed.
>feels good man
She wanted to fuck retard
kek I know what you meant to say, but I parsed it differently. It read like a woman wanted to have sexual intercourse with mentally handicapped people.
I don't think I've ever met a person with a fetish for actual retardation. I'm not even sure if that's legal to act on.
Holy fuck is cold lobster even enjoyable?
last time I flew, I sat by a black guy that unpacked a box of ribs and rice on the plane. It was waaay to pungent for a 5 am flight. Top it off, his big lips were smacking and flapping around like a cartoon.
Thought it was a one off. Not from a area with lots of afreakans is this a common problem?
I had an attractive middle class black woman put her hand on my thigh because she thought I was scared but really I was just trying to hide my oversize bag
>another nagger got sucked into an engine
>multiple near misses with planes
Did everyone competent at airports and airlines just retire?
they got fired over covid, the people with talent and intelligence moved onto better things.
Airlines/airports panic trying to hire those people back with the same shit conditions.
Smart people rightfully told them to fuck themselves
now they'll hire anyone with a heartbeat
I have a question for people who fly all the time? Why do you fly all the time? Like where do you go and what do you do that you need to fly all the time? I just hear people talking sometimes and they're just like oh yeah I have a flight tomorrow and I'll be going to X place next month etc.
Why do you need to fly so much? There's nothing anywhere else that you need to do that requires flying. If you have family in another part of the country, then ok...you might go back once maybe twice a year? It just sort of annoys me that people think they can just fly everywhere all the time all willy nilly.
Here's the truth....there's an extremely large group of middle and now working class people (also nigs now bc flying got cheaper) that need to feel important and for some reason flying in a plane to another city gives them that fulfillment. Your reasons for flying are totally predicated on an illusion of status. You didn't need to fly or go to that place. You just did it to make yourself feel better like you're accomplishing something. I fly back home to family once every other year and I see these people on the plane sometimes and they just look like total fucking lost retards who don't even know what's going on, but their smoothe brains are releasing dopamine by the second bc muh plane and muh fly. It's ridiculous. Listen to me....you're all nobodies. You don't need to fly. You don't need to go anywhere. Stay your fuckin ass home.
TLDR: DUDE FLYING LMAO IT'S A STATUS THING, I'M IMPORTANT AND MY LIFE IS INTERESTING.
I have to fly to go to client locations.
Not talking about work, there's just a astronomical surge in mouth breathers on planes these days
Lots of people fly multiple times a year for other reasons anon. Outside of work I've flown for three weddings, mother's day, a birthday, and two vacations.
Why do you live so god dam far from people you know? Working in heckin tech or something? You code? Lol
I’m an attorney. Do you live in the same place you grew up in or do you just have no friends?
Mixed. I lived and worked in two different cities. I still didn't have to fly all the time. Tell me...what kind of lawyer flies to see clients? You have licenses to practice law in multiple states? Seems like a flying lawyer wouldn't be cost effective.
I’m bar admitted in DC and NY. Don’t be angry little wagie.
I make more money than you, and I didn't even go to school haha. I can't imagine what kind of a bland npc homosexual you are flying between DC and NYC to practice law. Fucking YAWN bro, we all saw that episode.
>I make more money than you
Go ahead and prove that one anon. I’m sure it’ll be easy.
Thats the beauty of it, I don't 🙂 you don't have to believe me just like I don't believe you!
Cool huh bitch?
Your insecurity is suffocating.
Not anon you were talking to, but I'm curious, isn't practicing law anywhere between DC and NYC kind of a standard must have? I was up in DC and New England area for a while about 20 years ago for an internship and I don't remember meeting one professional that didn't have a law degree. Regardless of what field they were in, they had a law degree. It was foreign to me bc where I grew up, industry and trade were king, where as a law degree just got you in on a board or government position through nepotism. Anyways I ended up switching career paths bc the culture/people surrounding law and politics is so toxic.
#2. budget carriers. that's about the extent of it.
you can fly to another city for under <$80 in my country when it's on sale, but thats basically year round. So you get the steady stream of tightasses that gamble at bringing their 80L backpacking packs into the overhead lockers
I gotta do it for work. Cheaper to fly me around the country and put me up in hotels for a month each year than it would be to hire an engineer at each of our satellite offices.
Generally yeah, travel for work sucks, but you get into a groove after a while.
And for those that don't know, domestic lounges aint shit. They're typically always busy, never have enough seating and have less food options than the main terminal. bathrooms are usually cleaner though.
Some people use it as a status symbol, personally I dont give a shit, everything is oversold and overhyped these days, so being jaded is a natural thing
Yeah you're right about that. I 100% feel the same way. It's just whatever. I'd just like to fly in peace for once and not have to deal with some mongoloid's fat sweat dripping on me. Whether I fly first class delta or a budget flight. It's all the same now.
I was going to read all this, but I have to catch a flight.
You underestimate just how much travel goes on in the United States, which is why intercity flights are so necessary. Otherwise, you'd have to drive a private car. Public transit like Amtrak doesn't really make sense for a strict business or even a vacation schedule; arrival times are very variable.
Hell yeah man...book that inner city flight. Makes so much fucking sense. Muh flying dude. Plus you get to tell peeps you have a flight to catch. You're a cool mother fucker catching inner city flights bc it takes too long to travel around in your overpopulated city. Can I suck your dick?
You live in a country as small as you are, what do you know about the need to fly over large distances?
y'all really fighting on an anime image board on a Sunday night
I finished my finals, went to work and made it to the airport at 1 am. Even though the flight is at 6 am there's no delta employees to be seen. They open up at 5 and tell us that the flight is delayed but that they'll notify the connecting flights even though my flight notifications still say the connecting flight hasn't changed its set time. By the time I make it to Atlanta I choose to believe the notifications and haul ass to the literal other side of the airport from E to T. I'm running with all my shit just to make it to the gate and see that they had just closed the gate. I told them my situation and told me that once it's closed that it can't be undone. I lost my shit tbh. I had to wait in line for an hour for them to reroute me because some old dude wouldn't stop hogging the only employee there. In the end I had to go to Dallas, then to an Avianca flight to El Salvador and then to Liberia (my original destination was San Jose Costa Rica). Instead of arriving at 1 pm I was now going to arrive at 1 am and at a city I didn't have any plans seeing. I go through all that and what do I see at El Salvador? A direct fucking flight to San Jose. Fuck it I make it to Liberia and I wait almost an hour for my luggage. Turns out they couldn't reroute my luggage and I'd have to pick it up at San Jose in 2 days. And I had to schedule my own trip to San Jose I got no fucking help there. Fuck delta they'd never let me down before but when they did it was a big one
Why the fuck did you take a flight to Liberia?
Liberia is a city in Costa Rica
>fly to Istanbul
>get held up in passport queue, take bag
>name tag in Turkish
>oh fuck no someone's got my bag
>clerks at Istanbul airport don't even speak English just stare helplessly
>Spend 6€ of international phone call to get hold of my hotel
>pass phone to clerk, he babbles something gives it back
>hotel clerk says the airport clerk won't talk to him because he doesn't know him
>fuck this, leave the wrong bag to customs, take pictures of it and stalk social media for whoever it was
>manage to find the dude who took my bag
>DM him, get taxi and head to hotel
>replies several hours later, he's in the city and not very far
>rush to call taxi, meet him at a bar and get my bags back
>we communicate with Google translate because he doesn't know English either
>he asks where his own bag is
>"at the airport"
>"certainly they will steal it"
>my nagger maybe this will teach you to read the tags next time
>Please do not leave your luggage unattended
>Also please leave your luggage with the airline so they can put it in a room where you can't access it
>And when you arrive at the other airport, it'll be left unattended on a spinning carousel where literally anyone can take it
>But most importantly, please do not leave your luggage unattended
Recently paid a chunk of my flight money with loyalty rewards i accumulated and this turned to a great experience.
>be me in 2004 as a 16 year old with friend and their parents about to board plane in Dallas going to LA.
>eat airport food for 6 hours bc delay
>have to shit so bad right before takeoff but no time bc no missy flighty.
>shit yourself during takeoff
>it was so bad you could hear it and smell it quite quickly. Person next to you starts gagging and all you can do is sit there looking like a retard.
>have the whole plane start wanting to literally execute you for the smell by the looks of their gawking. Everyone starts quietly insulting you from different sections.
>friend and parents just looking at you like you're a retard
>be too scared to get up or do anything just stay parked for the next 2.5 hours.
>get roasted for shitting yourself the entire landing duration and disembarking process.
>realize in the bathroom at LAX you shit yourself so hard it shot up your back and there's been a large shit stain from your ass to your back showing since you got up from your seat.
>thank God you have luggage for different clothes and just dispose of the shit stained clothes then spray your ass with some Axe.
>shit yourself again in the taxi right before arriving at the Roosevelt on Hollywood blvd.
>realize the pants you threw away at LAX had my wallet and everything in it
>most awkward vacation ever
>never ate again before a flight
>friend and parents just looking at you like you're a retard
You are a retard. There's no other explanation
Had I been in your situation, I would've just used the airplane's bathroom, screw the airline procedures. Flight attendants don't like it when passengers use the bathroom before takeoff, but it's BETTER THAN SHITTING YOURSELF
