Why the frick would you spend $3k on a plane ticket? How can anyone but millionaires afford that shit? Even if I was making 100k a year that would seem like a lot for like an 8 hour experience...
You're looking at the prices wrong on the website. A business class ticket will always be at least 5x the price as economy for long haul unless you're doing some shit like buying it on a weird credit card coupled with points you got / some obscure deal. To put it into.perspecrice, airlines would all be broke if there were only 1st class and or economy flyers, business class are the ones who fork out the money that keeps airlines alive.
Nah just flying form europe and excluding the airlines with the shittiest economy. For example I refuse to sit on a 3-4-3 layout 777 crampfest
If I were a total poorgay sure I'd take some 2 layover trip with a frickoff airline, but when the price difference between acceptable economy and business is 1k-ish I have no reservation about buying. Booked a business return last month to Tokyo with air france for 2.4k.
I just looked at upgrading my Melbourne to HK flight and 565 USD economy vs 2945USD now for business. You must be flying on some really shitty airlines

I don't care enough about you to
Instead of being jealous try working harder so you can afford business too sometime without a second thought
People buy $1500 phones that are only good for reading Twittshit and you can't fathom people paying $3K for a premium experience that includes food and getting you to the other side of the world?
Dumbfucl here doesn't know the existence of loans.
Listen you bamboon. Every single person buying a $1500 is either taking a 3 year loan on it. Buying and trading in every year. Having their workplace buy for them. The latter two are mixed with their phone plans so it ends up being between $15-40 "extra".
Are you crazy enough to take out a loan on a $3k plane ticket?
>i imagine this large human to have at least the thought to reserve two seats
I'm guessing the same seeing as she has a medical device for breathing next to her.
That level of entitlement for something he didn't pay for automatically makes him the least deserving of it on the plane. Why should he instead of some random picked out of a hat from the rest of the passengers?
she looks so happy you can tell she has a big smile behind her mask
rather sit next to her than most of the miserable sods on here
i would ask her about her little machine that stops her body from killing her in her sleep out of shame

Because I like to be able to lean my head up against the side of the airplane when I sleep. Problem?
Kek
Yeah asian girls are nasty af, especially Chinese. You heal from yellow fever very quickly once you learn this firsthand. I remember dancing in a club in Spain with this cute chink girl and suddenly I see this big lump of earwax sticking out of her ear
Because respect gets you trampled in the fricking zoo that is mainland Ch*na. They are uncivilized savages. Maybe even worse than that.
HOWEVER, if you actually know the Chinese, they are incredibly, autistically respectful. There is a complex web of rules and etiquette in China, but that only applies to people you know. For strangers? It’s fricking pandemonium.
This is because there is no sense of “common wellbeing” for the Chinese. Westerners learn from a young age to not litter, not to cut in line, not to yell or make a scene in public. Basically, this comes down to being considerate of others. (You) know that being a dick in public ruins the experience of others, so you don’t do it. In turn, everyone else shows you the same respect. This is civilization. This is common decency.
For the Chinese, who do not hold this value, why wouldn’t you cut in line? Why shouldn’t you toss trash whenever you feel like it? Why shouldn’t you act however you like in public? You’re not going to see any of those strangers again. Who cares?
If you don’t cut in line, push and shove, cut people off in traffic, and frick over strangers for your own gain, you’re just hamstringing yourself. Some dipshit is going to cut in front of you in line, and you’re going to be the one who gets fricked over.
This, for the most part, does not apply to Hong Kongers and Taiwanese, who are much more civilized.
Hong Kongers might be more civilised than mainlanders but they are still incredibly rude
They also have the whole if I don't know you, you don't exist mentality, but they are more subtle about it than the mainlanders
This is unironically the attitude of Australians in urban areas much of the time.

AmeriBlack folk really are a high to behold. My experience in DRC was that aside from some minor cheekiness, the Black people were considerate, harmonious.
Sometimes I wonder if American slaves were a rug from Africans who sold off "that annoying homosexual" and "that random murderer" and emptied their prisons (for want of a better word) into the open arms of plantationers.

This seems to be really common coming or going from London I don't get it.
Someone took my seat on a train down to London when I went to the bathroom and then acted indignant when I took it back.
Singapore-Australia on SA is my favorite plane trip that I actually always look forward too. It used to be the planes were always 50% polite, quiet Australians and 50% polite, quiet Asians but something is changing, everytime I fly now there are hoards of who completely ruin the experience for everyone. >Obese, rude and noisy >The men and older women constantly asking the staff for something every 5 minutes
>Can I have 5 packs of playing cards >Can you get me a drink >And some peanuts >I can't eat these peanuts can you get me some different ones >Excuse me this drink doesn't have enough sugar >Actually I forgot I'm not meant to drink so much sugar can you make me another one >My headphones aren't working : ( >My screen doesn't flip all the way up and I'm trying to watch a movie >Can you give me some toys for my children >Can I have another 5 packs of playing cards >My feet hurt >Can you take 100 photos of me and my family >Can you turn the air conditioning down
Indians are the reason why we can't have nice things, the whole flight is the staff running up and down the aisles nonstop to accommodate the same 15 indians with stupid requests.
Chubby men with dissociated eyes in overly tight shirts are the F tier of humanity.

I had and have never been closer to irl fedposting than that flight, utterly baffling how you as a parent do fricking nothing to control your unruly child in public as they go out of their way to inconvenience others.
I see no way of avoiding the common wash other than getting enough money to do things private.
There's a certain segment of the population who are just a certain amount inconsiderate, and will talk in films, game at full volume at 3 am in an apartment complex etc. etc.
The only way to avoid this is to be in charge of whatever environment one is in. The uber-wealthy, for example, can buy up all the surrounding properties around their property. No bad neighbours.
You can't even argue with people like that. He has absolutely no idea that he's disgusting. I saw an asian dude clipping his fricking toenails in the terminal last time I flew international.
When I was about 12, I was flying to Florida with my mom. They split us up so she could sit next to my 2 younger brothers. I ended up next to this elderly, heavily intoxicated cat lady. She was fricking plastered. 20 years later and I can still remember the smell of bad perfume, booze, cat piss and cigarettes on her. Just as we were taking off, she unbuckles her seat and goes running into the aisle. She's yelling for the stewardess to bring her a drink. They coaxed her into sitting down and brought her a drink pretty fast. She drank it and passed out for the rest of the 3 hour flight. When I tried to get up to leave, she was still out. I had to slide past her the seat. They had everyone get off and medical boarded the plane. I'm pretty sure she died mid flight. I didn't see her breathing. And she looked pale as shit.
The novelty wears off quickly if you're a RealTraveller™. I've spent enough hours staring out at uneventfull ocean and flat land to fill a few lifetimes. I really don't cre too much which seat I'm in, being in window seat every now and again to get another glimpse of the earth can by nice, but I'd don't need it every time.
>There often isn't much to look at during long haul flights.
You take off and land the same way as regional flights.
I like catching first glimpses of my destination when approaching, seeing buildings and cars appear until finally you may see people in the final moments before touching down.
Sure.
There can be some cool views.
Having a flight that takes off or lands can get you some views, and I'm not discounting that, but so many airports are built away from urban areas, like a skyline, or natural views.
During takeoff and landing?
If there's an empty row to take in the view? Sure, the window can be nice.
During a descent?
Take a look through the emergency exit window.
During the flight?
My butt in parked in the center aisle.
Not much too see but the solid white of clouds or the moonlit wing of an airplane, and I can take a quick look from the view of the emergency exit.
>I like catching first glimpses of my destination when approaching
I know that feel bro I love taking the occasional glimpses out of the window and looking down at the landmass below or cities at night.
From the UK so it's great for couple hour flights across europe but I think I really want an aisle for some 10+ hour flight (first one in over a decade next month). I will probably drop down and not pay extra for luggage in future for europe too so I wont get seat selection included and probably wont pay just for a window seat t b h

Had window seats when I flew AMS-BKK with KLM and back a few years ago and as I said I loved it. I had paid for a economy premium seat so I could pick where I wanted to sit
But I also love looking out the window in trains,busses and cars so that is me.
Traveling with just an handbag and accessorybag is pretty based, only take luggage with you if you can't find a place to wash your clothes
Based curiosity enjoyer.
I like to open up OpenStreetMaps and follow my route on GPS, trying to correlate the map with what I see below.
Was thinking of writing an app which downloads everything in your flightpath, and gives you little popups about interesting shit you can see out the window, and how it relates to history, geography, etc.
that would be cool, osmand has a wikipedia plugin for notable places, you could probably copy a little of that and also check the path for peaks a certain height above average, large bodies of water and nature reserve type places.
This. If you're not a fricking manlet the aisle seat is best because once everyone is asleep you can stretch your legs out just that precious bit more.
I'm a window seater, but just cause I don't get bumped into or have to stand up when people next to me need to leave to shit or whatever. Seeing the scenery is just a minor bonus.
Always fly business or 1st you dumbasses, you're literally paying less to fly business simply due to the jetlag. Hell if you have a travel card and pay everything with it you're basically getting one free business class seat a year.
>you're literally paying less to fly business simply due to the jetlag.
I think because your brain knows youre traveling it plays a weird trick on you. Youre hyper aware and consuming more irrelevant data and NOOTICING. but should be reserving that for your destination. I take Doxylamine succinate. over the counter medication thats also a hypnotic dosed up to 1,600 mg/day for 6 months in schizophrenics with no toxicity.
I take some of that 2 hrs before I board along with chugging red bulls as needed and go into a hypnotic trance where I either dont care or Im asleep. Either way nothing bothers me and the redbulls keep me alert enough to successfully navigate the airport terminals and lay overs.
By the time I arrive Ive usually timed it right to the point the effects are wearing off or its time for bed and beat jet lag and ride planes without complaints.
People that cry are consumed about the same as whatever theyre crying about. Because youre on a plane you should know youre about to get packed in with randoms. Shower, change your socks and underwear accordingly.

I had to fly to Canada last week and over 50% of the flight was Indian. I was in the middle seat with Indians on both sides and both of them had their socks off and disgusting decaying feet up near the food trays
Dude, I work in TSA. Almost every fricking day I have to explain to an Indian family why they can't bring a fricking bucket worth of curry through. >but it's food >its also considered a liquid and/or gel that exceeds the limit >but it's food
I get that these rules are fricking gay, but I'm not bending the rules because homosexuals can't understand these rules that have been in place for over a decade.
Indians and Chinese are the either the most ignorant of the rules or just plain rude. Entitlement knows no boundary.
I'd say firearms are the most common, but thank god it never escalates beyond paperwork being filed and the local PD confiscating the weapon.
Nothing I can think of, just check the TSA website before you pack your bags, get pre-check, check in two hours early. Double check your boarding pass, if there is a discrepancy then it can get picked up and you will be turned away. Some airport checkpoints like to be extra or just have some weird rule because upper management wants to look competent, but just pay attention to any instructions you're given. I could elaborate on what security is like and my two cents on why things are they are, but I have to sleep soon. Just follow the rules, show up early, and be polite. I try to be the nice guy and it helps if you're nice back, but some officers are just flat out miserable people and there's no helping that
Now that you're buying the new CT machines that means you don't need to separate your shit anymore or do anything special when going through security, what is the point of TSA Precheck? That's giving all the perks of Precheck to everyone, nullifying the program. Are you Black folk going to buff Precheck by making it so I can take regular damn water bottles through again and we can stop pretending that dumbass liquid explosive theory was ever even possible to pull off?

If you notice, I did not refer to paying for or the monetary value of Precheck. I just asked the TSABlack person why I would get it when the new machines give everyone the perks automatically.

Imagine not having CLEAR and Global Entry.

CLEAR is getting to be shit because they've been having a lot of "security incidents" and thus TSA/Airport Security is now doing a lot of targeting double checks on CLEAR users in case CLEAR let someone through that they shouldn't have. Thus, you're actually wasting more time using CLEAR if you get stopped for a double security screening than if you just used the regular system in the first place.
Global Entry is nice, I figure Biden's NKVD already have all my biometrics anyway so I may as well benefit from getting to use it. Still unnerving they have my facial scan in a database but that's the western world now. Probably doesn't phase normalgays at all. If I don't want to live in Klaus Schwab's playground I either need to go to Africa or back in time.
I don't see why the biometrics of Global Entry can't be backported to initial TSA security so you can do a similar scan and walkthrough going in as you can coming back. Probably in the plans somewhere.
>Flying from Toronto to london >Air Canada Flight also departing to Mumbai at a similar time >woman opens her carryon bag at security >it’s full of 16L Tropicana orange juice

Yeah speaking from experience, anglos for whatever reason just do not understand the concept of assigned seating. Doesn't matter what form of transport it is. What's worse is that they get real aggressive about it. Had an experience where one anglo got escorted off the plane during boarding for threatening to beat the flight attendant telling him to go to his original seat.
not a plane but >on long train trip in france >my assigned seat occupied by someone else (middle-aged guy sitting next to his wife) >pair of seats in front of them empty but there's a purse on the ground >sit in the window seat next to the purse, get my laptop out and watch like an episode and a half of texhnolyze >two women come at the same time to ask me to move
where the frick were they for a half fricking hour while I was sitting there
they acted a bit offended which I didn't like too since it was because someone else was in my seat anyway, but I didn't want to b***h at that guy since I understood why he'd stolen my seat (to sit next to his wife)
had to move next to an old guy.
Where's the anon that says to handle this by refusing to even acknowledge or interact with the fatty? Treat them like an unsanitary object left behind and insist you be moved from someone who invades your personal space.
My AUS > NZ flights have always been chill AF
the worst I've had is we were delayed by 10 mins coz someone in premium-economy was having a shitfit over not wanting to sit in their assigned seat. AFP showed up, escorted her off, we went on with our day.
b***h sounded like miss piggy when she got worked up (no word of a lie, if she said 'kerrmie' at some point half the people in the cabin would've lost their shit)
I'd say 'at least we aren't like the americans'.. but frick.. any Jetstar flight from Perth to Bali would have them beat. it's called the Bogan Bus for a good reason

NEVER happening. Flight attendants can sit on my lap if they wish to enter the wienerpit. Otherwise they can stay in the back with the rest of the cattle.
I am just now realizing that I've never been on a flight with any considerable amount of Black Americans. Pretty much only been the well-dressed Nigerian types. It's never been like an aerial Detroit is what I'm saying.

Did anyone else fly at all from March 2020 to about December of 2020? That was the absolute best travel of my entire life. I had entire rows to myself, sometimes there was only 3 or 4 other people on the plane total. Then the mask requirements started and people started flying again and it became a worse hell than before. I was flyingfor work becausei was "essenshul"

This is definitely the best part of boarding early. You're already comfy, leaning back, and watching the plebs flow in.
Sometimes I like to walk the whole length of the plane when it is a particularly long flight, and boy, walking past economy always makes me feel grateful of where I am in life.
First and business kinda suck t b h. Once you experience flying private with a couple a few good friends and an actual decent pilot on a decent, modern plane instead of some pajeet you'll finally experience what success feels like.
my little sister got stuck between two fatties of this size when we were kids
plane was fully booked and it was not physically possible for us to swap out with her as she was just barely small enough to exist between them
my mom holding in her laughter so hard that she was weeping a few aisles back, which led to embarrassment, which led to more inappropriate laughter
the fatties offered to buy her whatever she wanted from the menu as a "sorry" but, having made the connection that too much food makes you fat, she just asked for another ginger ale
we still tease her about this ~16 years later
It's weird that there are strict rules about how big you need to be on fairground rides, but yet these fatties are deemed fine to fly on planes when they can barely fit down the aisle and don't actually fir in the seat.
no one wants to properly address it up because >muh discrimination and then the airlines will be forced to have big seats for no extra cost for fatties which will destroy their business model of packing in as many people as possible into a plane and then normal people who get no room in a small seat will feel salty because just be fat if you want room on a plane, so basically fat people should just be banned from flying if they can't fit in a plane seat
this made me think - fatties are actually on our side. They should force airlines to make seats bigger to accomodate fatties.
If they refuse than they are fatphobic and discriminatory

Flew weekly from July to the end of the year. Was upgraded on every single flight. Typically had no more than one other person in business with me. Was treated like a king because I was one of the only Exec Plats still flying on AA at that point.
Delta didn't book their middle seats. It was pretty awesome, and they had vents that blew jets of air hard enough so I could actually breathe fresh air while wearing the stupid mask over my nose. But then I got to Colombia and you had to wear a mask at all times in public - but nobody gave a hoot if you let your nose stick out, so it wasn't too bad.
I don't miss the paperwork that you had to fill for each country. But it was good to have flights and destinations with no plebs since paperwork and covid tests are too hard for them.
I flew to the netherlands during the two weeks it was illegal for americans to enter in 2021
there were like, two other parties on the whole 787. those were the halcyon days.
also they changed the regulation when I was going back to France so I barely got back in. honestly France 2022 wasn't bad either. They were actually happy to see tourists again.
Went to Bruxelles in late 2020 to meet and give the ol lickaroo to a grill i met on Interpals. It felt so weird, we were like 15 people in the whole airplane, I remember laying down and take a nap in the seats row and the flight attendants didn't say a thing.
Went to Switzerland in Sept 2020 and Maldives in Dec 2020. Entire departure airport terminal was gloriously empty, planes 1/3 full. Genuinely magical as poors were stuck locked down and COVID lockdown freaks were in their basements pounding sand.
Tokyo to Frankfurt ANA July 2020. It was heavenly. Had an entire row to myself to lie down with a blanket. Popped some valium i got for "flight anxiety" and slammed free sapporos served by cute flight attendants the entire time. watched movies took long shits. ana has great food too. This is how billionaires travel.
I took a regional jet a couple states over to drive a truck home that I bought in April 2020. I was the only passenger in the terminal. I was the only passenger on the entire jet. Private jet, only time I'll get that in my entire life kek.

It was only an hour, but still, I've no idea how this guy managed to go through the entire process of boarding the plane to begin with given he seemed to literally have the mind of a petulant child.
Bull fricking shit
Every fatty I've worked with smells like moldy leather from not properly bathing or wearing week old clothes because they're lazy as frick.
But in all seriousness, if there's no one in the aisle seat then it's no issue. But if there's someone there I'm gonna just ask a stewardess to seat me somewhere else.
>wat do?
karen mode for a free upgrade of course, don't even acknowledge the obeast just immediately talk to a flight attendant. >stories?
sure >be me >flying London to Miami >no issues boarding >plane is in the air >family in row behind mine >their 4 or 5 year old has zero discipline and begins kicking and pushing my seat >bringing this up with the parents results in zero action on their end >kid also goes on a full autist meltdown cryfest every half hour like clockwork >dad lost his shit, screamed at the morons and was about to physically beat the shit out of the father >flight attendants finally intervene after like 7 hours seeing the potential for an unironic fight >kid stops his shitfest out of fear of an actual punishment now that attendants got involved >final hour >dumbass begins climbing on the seats during turbulence >flies to the fricking roof and smacks his head
I had and have never been closer to irl fedposting than that flight, utterly baffling how you as a parent do fricking nothing to control your unruly child in public as they go out of their way to inconvenience others.
I live in a poor, heavily Hispanic city with an airport and every time I fly home it's like Russian roulette because the average passenger weighs 280lbs
My only funny experience on a plane was while I was going to Berlin and an old guy next to me asks "how many Deustchemarks will that be?" To the flight attendant
She just gives a perfect smile and says five euro
>on flight back from vacation last week >flying Southwest so open seating >plane is filling up when I board, take window seat with some fat boomer in the aisle seat and empty middle >last passengers boarding now, full flight >hot guy who I wouldn’t mind rubbing against a little has to sit in my row >boomer “that’s alright, I’ll just schooch over here” >have to sit be touching fat old guy for most of the flight instead of the qt

And then I clogged the shitter in the Emirates premium lounge.
>finishing 3 month Eurotrip >booked the main flights through travel agent because we couldn't be fricked looking at all the airports to find the cheapest flights + they gave us a good price >trip back is Rome>Singapore>Melbourne >Rome>Singapore is comfy with Singapore Airlines >think the next flight to Melbourne is with Singapore Airlines because it says it is >it's actually Scoot. A budget airline run by Singapore Airlines >tfw the plane is absolutely full of smelly indians >crying babies everywhere >no screens for the 7 hour flight >food is super expensive so don't bother. just try to sleep >flight attendants come around and give us a blanket and a meal (I can only assume the travel agent must've booked it for us) >eat okay food >hear all the pajeets complaining that they aren't getting food/complaining because the food isn't vegetarian and is against their religion >mfw I'm on a shit flight but at least these stuck up pajeets are getting pwned
Singapore-Australia on SA is my favorite plane trip that I actually always look forward too. It used to be the planes were always 50% polite, quiet Australians and 50% polite, quiet Asians but something is changing, everytime I fly now there are hoards of who completely ruin the experience for everyone. >Obese, rude and noisy >The men and older women constantly asking the staff for something every 5 minutes
>Can I have 5 packs of playing cards >Can you get me a drink >And some peanuts >I can't eat these peanuts can you get me some different ones >Excuse me this drink doesn't have enough sugar >Actually I forgot I'm not meant to drink so much sugar can you make me another one >My headphones aren't working : ( >My screen doesn't flip all the way up and I'm trying to watch a movie >Can you give me some toys for my children >Can I have another 5 packs of playing cards >My feet hurt >Can you take 100 photos of me and my family >Can you turn the air conditioning down
Indians are the reason why we can't have nice things, the whole flight is the staff running up and down the aisles nonstop to accommodate the same 15 indians with stupid requests.
Was on a flight from Frankfurt to Nairobi and some american middle aged woman was throwing an absolute fit that a dude wouldn't give up his window seat so that she could "sit with her daughter". (Know she was american because she was crying about the airline losing her bag from Philly). Sure, your day sucked, but middle aged white women can't help but make their problems everyone else's problem too. The fricked part was that there was an open seat in the centre row beside her, she just wanted a window seat.
Incredibly rude and self righteous, but not more in the doesn’t give a frick way than the causing a scene way.
I met an elderly German couple on the way to Canada. They were visiting their daughter in Rocky Mountain House, where they bred sled dogs for many years before moving back to Germoney. They were very nice, you should stop hating Germans.
I just got off a night flight in which I was squished between two large Indian men, both hindu. The scent of curry was rather unbearable. So I punished them by ordering the BEEF meal.
Wish I could fly business more often but I just cannot justify it unless it costs at most 1k-ish more than economy. Which rarely happens, but if I can I structure a yearly long-haul travel around that. Sniped one like that for next month
>going to warsaw on a school trip >landing procedure >random pole want to use the bathroom >flight attendants blocks his way and tells him to go back to his seat >he gets angry, starts forcing his way in, but they locked the door >gets mad and kicks the door like a maniac >calms down and go back to his seat just as the plane starts touching the ground >when the plane lands we're told that nobody should leave their seat and wait >2 specops looking dudes carrying MP5s escort the moron out, they didn't even let him take his luggage
That was pretty fun to watch, I doubt he had a pleasant day after this.
in the US:
they would first try to move you to a new seat. if none are available then they need to pay somebody to get bumped off the flight
if nobody accepts any of the lowball offers the airline makes you will get paid the full compensation rate and put on another flight
not sure what would happen elsewhere, probably the fatty would be banned from flying if they don't fit
>Get on plane in Arabia >7 hour flight to SEA, mind you >Weird fidgety guy from India next to me >Keeps sniffing, shorting dry coughing, flexing his fingers then digging them into his knees >He blows air out his nose really hard every few minutes and just looks visibly uncomfortable the whole flight >keeps asking to get up to go to the bathroom >Just sits with his hands in his lap staring at the chair infront of him for 7 hours >plane lands and he runs off the plane in a hurry
I feel like I sat next to some patient 0 of a new covid variant
Had a short flight from the Netherlands to Scotland where we flew through a storm as we were leaving the Netherlands and another entering Scotland so we had crazy turbulance the entire flight.
The woman next to me was yelling every time we had a bump or the plane fell a little. "OH MY GOD, OH FRICK, JESUS CHRIST"
I fricking hate flying too but I just stared straight forward in total silence and accepted my fate
Turbulence sucks, but I don't think there has been a single modern passenger jet that ever crashed because of it. The shit you have to worry about is pilot error. That's why you don't fly with Asian or female pilots.
I've only only flown with white Chad pilots. Are Asian pilots really bad? I've generally seen Asians (the light skinned ones) as being competent in other fields. I understand if you mean Indians or SEA monkey pilots. People there are stupid.
This 40yo guy next to me on a plane to Rome who took off his shoes and socks once the plane took off. I told him he's not in his living room and to put his shoes on, he looked at me like I just slapped a baby, but he put the shoes on. He kept mumbling for the rest of the flight "unbelievable, unbelievable.." like he was the poor victim here. It's amazing how people have 0 clues about how to act with other people around.
I have incredibly sweaty and stinky feet. Usually after a full day's work my socks have white stains from the sweat and are crusty. There is no way if you have smelly feet that you don't know this. I NEVER take my shoes off in public because I know how bad it is. Hell I would say most men have disgusting feet and should not take their shoes off in public ever.
No it's not. You're not in your house, you're in a place you're sharing with other stranger. It's disgusting and make other people feel weird, please don't do it. People who takes off their shoes on trains/buses/planes and let everyone take a whiff of their sweaty feet are chink-tier travellers.
>have a nice lady basically like OPs pic in the middle seat >I have assigned seating next to her >I think to myself 'dang it' >turns out she is really talkative and friendly, actually have some things in common >having some good conversations even though I usuall hate talking to people on flights >kept noticing this guy across the row shaking his head like he's irritated the entire flight >like 2/3rd into the guy turns towards us and goes 'will you guys please be quiet? I'm trying to read' >we start talking quieter, like near whispering >he is still over there shaking his head every so often even though we are talking much quieter >look closer and he was reading one of those flight instruction manuals from the seat pouches, it seemed like he red it 2 or 3 times
I can't tell what his problem was. It was strange. Maybe he was really nervous and the talking was making it worse?
>I can't tell what his problem was. >shaking his head like he's irritated the entire flight >'will you guys please be quiet? I'm trying to read' >he was reading one of those flight instruction manuals from the seat pouches, it seemed like he red it 2 or 3 times
It's autism.
Glad to hear that you have never been and you'll never be in any premium class where slippers are provided to you as part of the wardrobe process.

As a gift not for you to wear right there.
>get back from vacation a few days ago >flights are Boston-Amsterdam and Amsterdam-Turin >both planes pretty packed >window seat both times >seat beside me empty on both flights
What are the fricking chances? This must be compensation for a few years ago's Milan-NYC where I sat beside a fricking crazy Norwegian old lady who threw killer glances at everything and everyone and mumbled horrible Nordic curses for the whole flight

Im so pissed that my cheapskate father asked me to visit him while he lives his live in US and im trying to do my best in europoor land and the best he can do is economy class tickets, thanks for making me rage even more
economy on a long haul is miserable especially on a full flight
Im so pissed that my cheapskate father asked me to visit him while he lives his live in US and im trying to do my best in europoor land and the best he can do is economy class tickets, thanks for making me rage even more
you might be able to upgrade for cheap when the flight gets close. even premium economy would be much better.
Depends on the airline really
Some run 2-4-2 layout even in economy, makes it rather bearable.
Or what I used to do before being able to afford business regularly is to pick this seat, some extra legroom due to the angle, and only have to bother one other person to get up. But then again not all planes have this
This guy gets it.
t. was stuck between a window and a giant albanian in a night bus and ended up using him as a pillow and he didn't mind. No homosexual though.
>board the plane >sit next to older guy >he has regular coughing fits >he turns to me and says "dont worry, its not the flu or anything, i have cancer"
About 10 years ago my company at the time booked me on a flight to Atlanta. I had an aisle seat, but sitting in the middle seat next to me was the father of a family of three children sitting directly across the aisle.
One of those children was a clearly autistic girl about 12-years-old or so, and she kept panicking and getting out of her seat to pace up and down the aisle. Flight attendants kept bringing her back to her seat, but within minutes she was always getting up again to start pacing from one end of the plane to the other. Her father tried persuading her to stay seated, but she had a fit and started screaming.
I offered to trade seats with him so I didn't have to be in the middle of this shit storm, but he was so focused on his personal tragedy that he didn't even hear me. Meanwhile, one of his daughters sitting next to the autistic one suddenly became airsick and started vomting all over her... and me. The autistic girl freaked out and made a run for it, the father climbed over me to go after her, the mother (sitting in a row behind us) followed him, and the flight attendants started shouting at everyone.
They kept up this fricking circus for over three hours, and there was not one goddamn thing I could do to escape. The parents ignored me, the flight attendants ignored me, and I spent nearly two hours covered in vomit, holding my ears against piercing shrieks of the autistic girl, and getting kneed and elbowed out of the way by just about everyone involved.
I would literally force her ass into her seat until she complained and then tell them to move me or her
Also last long distance flight i had window seat, middle seat was empty then aisle seat taken by based korean dude...we agreeed that middle seat was community so we just kept our stuff and was able to spread out a bit....best 14 hr flight i had in a while compared to my packed delta return flight but least the girl next to me was nice
Flew from PHX to PHL like this once, she kept ripping ass and leaning on me. Most uncomfortable flight I've ever taken.
Blessed were the flights where I get to bullshit around with the flight crew up in the front back when I worked for American.
Can't believe we really had to have equipment to move land whales in and out of seating. Deny them boarding and save the rest of the souls on board from heightened crash risk.
>Have a layover in NYC for flight to Zurich >Like 30 Hasidic israelites get on >Kids spend the whole flight running up and down the aisle >Adults keep standing up and shouting over 10 rows to one another
>c-pap in middle seat
"Hi, I guess the isle seat is mine.."
"Can i buy you a drink?" >free drink tickets gets her drunk >she lets you use the c-pap machine that night >my fat fren 4ever
free heater, good airbag too
but the smell
I'm only here for that stench though
Contemplate that aroma for a moment
Harass her or make her uncomfortable on a fully booked plane. You'll be upgraded to Business in no time.
there was a video recently of a women who was kicked off a plane and arrested for fatshaming lol
You idiots know business class exist right?
do you know how obese americans can get?
Unless you own the plane, you're in economy.
Why the frick would you spend $3k on a plane ticket? How can anyone but millionaires afford that shit? Even if I was making 100k a year that would seem like a lot for like an 8 hour experience...
When economy long haul these days costs 1.4-1.5k to Japan it's easier to justify, and you can regularly find biz in the 2.2-2.7k range.
I mean 1k extra is not even a week's pay.
You're looking at the prices wrong on the website. A business class ticket will always be at least 5x the price as economy for long haul unless you're doing some shit like buying it on a weird credit card coupled with points you got / some obscure deal. To put it into.perspecrice, airlines would all be broke if there were only 1st class and or economy flyers, business class are the ones who fork out the money that keeps airlines alive.
Nah just flying form europe and excluding the airlines with the shittiest economy. For example I refuse to sit on a 3-4-3 layout 777 crampfest
If I were a total poorgay sure I'd take some 2 layover trip with a frickoff airline, but when the price difference between acceptable economy and business is 1k-ish I have no reservation about buying. Booked a business return last month to Tokyo with air france for 2.4k.
I just looked at upgrading my Melbourne to HK flight and 565 USD economy vs 2945USD now for business. You must be flying on some really shitty airlines
Wow, it's almost like different regions have different pricing and airlines available
Post region
I don't care enough about you to
Instead of being jealous try working harder so you can afford business too sometime without a second thought
t. 3rd worlder
I paid 780pound for exonomy direct return flight to japan, 13h next april. Business etc I check cost near 2k
People buy $1500 phones that are only good for reading Twittshit and you can't fathom people paying $3K for a premium experience that includes food and getting you to the other side of the world?
Dumbfucl here doesn't know the existence of loans.
Listen you bamboon. Every single person buying a $1500 is either taking a 3 year loan on it. Buying and trading in every year. Having their workplace buy for them. The latter two are mixed with their phone plans so it ends up being between $15-40 "extra".
Are you crazy enough to take out a loan on a $3k plane ticket?
Take loans for consumer goods and travel is extremely low-class behaviour
surely they'd give you a different seat at this point
maybe im optimistic, but i imagine this large human to have at least the thought to reserve two seats, or the pic is 'staged'
that is to say, she is taking up as much space as she can for shits and gigs. she's definitely further away from the window than it seems.
>i imagine this large human to have at least the thought to reserve two seats
I'm guessing the same seeing as she has a medical device for breathing next to her.
Easy.
chad move. seize the means of relaxation. economy is basically a dog kennel at this point.
If the seat is empty they should let him sit, homosexual ass flight attendants...
That level of entitlement for something he didn't pay for automatically makes him the least deserving of it on the plane. Why should he instead of some random picked out of a hat from the rest of the passengers?
'cause he's sleeping there
>delay the travel of hundreds of people just because one customer is being difficult
>stay in business
monopolies should be banned
That works fine if you plan on flying literally only one time in your life. Otherwise you're quickly going on no fly lists
why would you turn the whole thing around for this?
Now this triggers le socialism in me. What a waste
where did they get that photo of Giuliani?
she looks so happy you can tell she has a big smile behind her mask
rather sit next to her than most of the miserable sods on here
i would ask her about her little machine that stops her body from killing her in her sleep out of shame
you mean like, "If I pull that off would you die?"
she is a big guy
It would be extremely painful. For the buffet.
But yeah, in all seriousness I'd be talking to the airline. I paid for a seat, not half of one.
>rather sit next to her
but how?
>greentext request thread for some homosexual's weekly youtube "best of SighSee greentext" compilation
no frick off
She looks like she'd be fine with me using her body as a pillow. I might actually sleep unlike every other time.
She looks so friendly, I'll give her my dessert. Too much for me.
only if another big fat lady is in the aisle seat so if there's an accident I'm cushioned
There is no middle seat with that next to you.

Kek
Yeah asian girls are nasty af, especially Chinese. You heal from yellow fever very quickly once you learn this firsthand. I remember dancing in a club in Spain with this cute chink girl and suddenly I see this big lump of earwax sticking out of her ear
🙁
The Chinese are the combined Black folk AND israelites of Asia. Truly the worst people on the planet.
why are they like this? Not only in flights but also their behavior and attitude in hotels and such. Why can't they be minimally respectful?
Because respect gets you trampled in the fricking zoo that is mainland Ch*na. They are uncivilized savages. Maybe even worse than that.
HOWEVER, if you actually know the Chinese, they are incredibly, autistically respectful. There is a complex web of rules and etiquette in China, but that only applies to people you know. For strangers? It’s fricking pandemonium.
This is because there is no sense of “common wellbeing” for the Chinese. Westerners learn from a young age to not litter, not to cut in line, not to yell or make a scene in public. Basically, this comes down to being considerate of others. (You) know that being a dick in public ruins the experience of others, so you don’t do it. In turn, everyone else shows you the same respect. This is civilization. This is common decency.
For the Chinese, who do not hold this value, why wouldn’t you cut in line? Why shouldn’t you toss trash whenever you feel like it? Why shouldn’t you act however you like in public? You’re not going to see any of those strangers again. Who cares?
If you don’t cut in line, push and shove, cut people off in traffic, and frick over strangers for your own gain, you’re just hamstringing yourself. Some dipshit is going to cut in front of you in line, and you’re going to be the one who gets fricked over.
This, for the most part, does not apply to Hong Kongers and Taiwanese, who are much more civilized.
Hong Kongers might be more civilised than mainlanders but they are still incredibly rude
They also have the whole if I don't know you, you don't exist mentality, but they are more subtle about it than the mainlanders
This is unironically the attitude of Australians in urban areas much of the time.
AmeriBlack folk really are a high to behold. My experience in DRC was that aside from some minor cheekiness, the Black people were considerate, harmonious.
Sometimes I wonder if American slaves were a rug from Africans who sold off "that annoying homosexual" and "that random murderer" and emptied their prisons (for want of a better word) into the open arms of plantationers.
Someone took my seat on a train down to London when I went to the bathroom and then acted indignant when I took it back.
Why are they like this?
Chubby men with dissociated eyes in overly tight shirts are the F tier of humanity.
I see no way of avoiding the common wash other than getting enough money to do things private.
There's a certain segment of the population who are just a certain amount inconsiderate, and will talk in films, game at full volume at 3 am in an apartment complex etc. etc.
The only way to avoid this is to be in charge of whatever environment one is in. The uber-wealthy, for example, can buy up all the surrounding properties around their property. No bad neighbours.

Why did you make me watch that
That webm is so mind-numbing to watch. So glad I escaped the corpo-drone bugman life before I got too invested in it.
That's what it's like to have zero personality or hobbies? That was difficult to watch.
Vidya isn't a hobbie.
bro please tell me the dog doesn't sit at home for 8 hours
why are his legs twigs? i know he works out at home but thats no excuse
You can't even argue with people like that. He has absolutely no idea that he's disgusting. I saw an asian dude clipping his fricking toenails in the terminal last time I flew international.
When I was about 12, I was flying to Florida with my mom. They split us up so she could sit next to my 2 younger brothers. I ended up next to this elderly, heavily intoxicated cat lady. She was fricking plastered. 20 years later and I can still remember the smell of bad perfume, booze, cat piss and cigarettes on her. Just as we were taking off, she unbuckles her seat and goes running into the aisle. She's yelling for the stewardess to bring her a drink. They coaxed her into sitting down and brought her a drink pretty fast. She drank it and passed out for the rest of the 3 hour flight. When I tried to get up to leave, she was still out. I had to slide past her the seat. They had everyone get off and medical boarded the plane. I'm pretty sure she died mid flight. I didn't see her breathing. And she looked pale as shit.
Aisle seat or bust. Window is overrated
You must have incontinence or fly overnight, because nobody with an ounce of curiosity would choose not to see the land they are passing over?.
>hey can you close the blind, I'm trying to sleep here
No
>doesn’t wear a blackout eye mask to sleep
Disgusting plebs
The novelty wears off quickly if you're a RealTraveller™. I've spent enough hours staring out at uneventfull ocean and flat land to fill a few lifetimes. I really don't cre too much which seat I'm in, being in window seat every now and again to get another glimpse of the earth can by nice, but I'd don't need it every time.
>not wanting to see take off and landing
Are you a child?
I've started and landed hundreds of times at my home base.
I still like to take a look when I have a window seat.
Have you lost your childlike sense of adventure and wonder?
I like to rest my head against the side
I'm guessing you're flying regionally.
There often isn't much to look at during long haul flights.
If the situation allows it, I'll move to a window seat during takeoff and landing, then move to my center aisle seat during the flight.
I might take a few pictures out the window, but I'll usually do that from the emergency exit.
Exit row is great for legroom, but the seats themselves often don't allow for spreading.
There's generally a premium as well.
>There often isn't much to look at during long haul flights.
You take off and land the same way as regional flights.
I like catching first glimpses of my destination when approaching, seeing buildings and cars appear until finally you may see people in the final moments before touching down.
Sure.
There can be some cool views.
Having a flight that takes off or lands can get you some views, and I'm not discounting that, but so many airports are built away from urban areas, like a skyline, or natural views.
During takeoff and landing?
If there's an empty row to take in the view? Sure, the window can be nice.
During a descent?
Take a look through the emergency exit window.
During the flight?
My butt in parked in the center aisle.
Not much too see but the solid white of clouds or the moonlit wing of an airplane, and I can take a quick look from the view of the emergency exit.
>I like catching first glimpses of my destination when approaching
I know that feel bro I love taking the occasional glimpses out of the window and looking down at the landmass below or cities at night.
From the UK so it's great for couple hour flights across europe but I think I really want an aisle for some 10+ hour flight (first one in over a decade next month). I will probably drop down and not pay extra for luggage in future for europe too so I wont get seat selection included and probably wont pay just for a window seat t b h
Had window seats when I flew AMS-BKK with KLM and back a few years ago and as I said I loved it. I had paid for a economy premium seat so I could pick where I wanted to sit
But I also love looking out the window in trains,busses and cars so that is me.
Traveling with just an handbag and accessorybag is pretty based, only take luggage with you if you can't find a place to wash your clothes
I actually enjoy looking at the endless unexplored tundra as you fly over Greenland.
Based curiosity enjoyer.
I like to open up OpenStreetMaps and follow my route on GPS, trying to correlate the map with what I see below.
Was thinking of writing an app which downloads everything in your flightpath, and gives you little popups about interesting shit you can see out the window, and how it relates to history, geography, etc.
i like when the little tvs let you see the flightpath and map in flight, i usually just set it to that when its an option
that would be cool, osmand has a wikipedia plugin for notable places, you could probably copy a little of that and also check the path for peaks a certain height above average, large bodies of water and nature reserve type places.

>mfw i stole pringles and whiskey from the cart last flight
This. If you're not a fricking manlet the aisle seat is best because once everyone is asleep you can stretch your legs out just that precious bit more.
Book exit row seats
i am looking at flights for a trip now. if you get economy its an extra $100 for exit row seating. the airline israelite is in full control now.
I'm a window seater, but just cause I don't get bumped into or have to stand up when people next to me need to leave to shit or whatever. Seeing the scenery is just a minor bonus.
Many fat people don't know they can call the airline and reserve an adjacent seat for free.
Always fly business or 1st you dumbasses, you're literally paying less to fly business simply due to the jetlag. Hell if you have a travel card and pay everything with it you're basically getting one free business class seat a year.
or three free economy seats
maybe four, imagine
>you're literally paying less to fly business simply due to the jetlag.
I think because your brain knows youre traveling it plays a weird trick on you. Youre hyper aware and consuming more irrelevant data and NOOTICING. but should be reserving that for your destination. I take Doxylamine succinate. over the counter medication thats also a hypnotic dosed up to 1,600 mg/day for 6 months in schizophrenics with no toxicity.
I take some of that 2 hrs before I board along with chugging red bulls as needed and go into a hypnotic trance where I either dont care or Im asleep. Either way nothing bothers me and the redbulls keep me alert enough to successfully navigate the airport terminals and lay overs.
By the time I arrive Ive usually timed it right to the point the effects are wearing off or its time for bed and beat jet lag and ride planes without complaints.
People that cry are consumed about the same as whatever theyre crying about. Because youre on a plane you should know youre about to get packed in with randoms. Shower, change your socks and underwear accordingly.
>takes a sleeping aid
>washes it down with several Red Bulls
Just speak to the airline staff - like bro - I paid for a seat, but do not have a seat, what can you do for me?
This is the objectively correct answer.
If there is an issue, talk to the staff, let them know that you aren't satisfied.

Fricking lmao, its like a pre recorded response for them at that point.
greyhound is for the poorest of the poor, you can usually get an amtrak or nicer bus ticket for a pretty good price
better than their god damn kids running wild on the plane. absolutely insufferable vishnus
I had to fly to Canada last week and over 50% of the flight was Indian. I was in the middle seat with Indians on both sides and both of them had their socks off and disgusting decaying feet up near the food trays
Curiously in a flight I had in Europe I was sit next an Indian guys that was super friendly and chill, kinda like a lil kid
Dude, I work in TSA. Almost every fricking day I have to explain to an Indian family why they can't bring a fricking bucket worth of curry through.
>but it's food
>its also considered a liquid and/or gel that exceeds the limit
>but it's food
I get that these rules are fricking gay, but I'm not bending the rules because homosexuals can't understand these rules that have been in place for over a decade.
Which stereotypes are the most common?
What infractions are the most common?
Are there any cool tricks to know about?
Indians and Chinese are the either the most ignorant of the rules or just plain rude. Entitlement knows no boundary.
I'd say firearms are the most common, but thank god it never escalates beyond paperwork being filed and the local PD confiscating the weapon.
Nothing I can think of, just check the TSA website before you pack your bags, get pre-check, check in two hours early. Double check your boarding pass, if there is a discrepancy then it can get picked up and you will be turned away. Some airport checkpoints like to be extra or just have some weird rule because upper management wants to look competent, but just pay attention to any instructions you're given. I could elaborate on what security is like and my two cents on why things are they are, but I have to sleep soon. Just follow the rules, show up early, and be polite. I try to be the nice guy and it helps if you're nice back, but some officers are just flat out miserable people and there's no helping that
Stop randoming me
you frickers can control it, don’t pretend you can’t
Now that you're buying the new CT machines that means you don't need to separate your shit anymore or do anything special when going through security, what is the point of TSA Precheck? That's giving all the perks of Precheck to everyone, nullifying the program. Are you Black folk going to buff Precheck by making it so I can take regular damn water bottles through again and we can stop pretending that dumbass liquid explosive theory was ever even possible to pull off?
>Paying for TSA Pre-Check
Literally able to get pre-check with my cdl w hazmat endorsement
If you notice, I did not refer to paying for or the monetary value of Precheck. I just asked the TSABlack person why I would get it when the new machines give everyone the perks automatically.
That is true, but the CT machines aren't rolled out nationwide. Many airports don't have them yet
Imagine not having CLEAR and Global Entry.
CLEAR is getting to be shit because they've been having a lot of "security incidents" and thus TSA/Airport Security is now doing a lot of targeting double checks on CLEAR users in case CLEAR let someone through that they shouldn't have. Thus, you're actually wasting more time using CLEAR if you get stopped for a double security screening than if you just used the regular system in the first place.
Global Entry is nice, I figure Biden's NKVD already have all my biometrics anyway so I may as well benefit from getting to use it. Still unnerving they have my facial scan in a database but that's the western world now. Probably doesn't phase normalgays at all. If I don't want to live in Klaus Schwab's playground I either need to go to Africa or back in time.
I don't see why the biometrics of Global Entry can't be backported to initial TSA security so you can do a similar scan and walkthrough going in as you can coming back. Probably in the plans somewhere.

This seems to be really common coming or going from London I don't get it.
Inbred anglos
>anglos
>London
Yeah speaking from experience, anglos for whatever reason just do not understand the concept of assigned seating. Doesn't matter what form of transport it is. What's worse is that they get real aggressive about it. Had an experience where one anglo got escorted off the plane during boarding for threatening to beat the flight attendant telling him to go to his original seat.

where the frick were they for a half fricking hour while I was sitting there
they acted a bit offended which I didn't like too since it was because someone else was in my seat anyway, but I didn't want to b***h at that guy since I understood why he'd stolen my seat (to sit next to his wife)
had to move next to an old guy.
Where's the anon that says to handle this by refusing to even acknowledge or interact with the fatty? Treat them like an unsanitary object left behind and insist you be moved from someone who invades your personal space.
I live in NZ and most international flights I've been on have been Kiwis/Aus/East Asians.
>board the plane
>everyone sits in their assigned seats
>everything is fine
I'm glad I don't have to transit anywhere near America to get most places
My AUS > NZ flights have always been chill AF
the worst I've had is we were delayed by 10 mins coz someone in premium-economy was having a shitfit over not wanting to sit in their assigned seat. AFP showed up, escorted her off, we went on with our day.
b***h sounded like miss piggy when she got worked up (no word of a lie, if she said 'kerrmie' at some point half the people in the cabin would've lost their shit)
I'd say 'at least we aren't like the americans'.. but frick.. any Jetstar flight from Perth to Bali would have them beat. it's called the Bogan Bus for a good reason

NEVER happening. Flight attendants can sit on my lap if they wish to enter the wienerpit. Otherwise they can stay in the back with the rest of the cattle.
I am just now realizing that I've never been on a flight with any considerable amount of Black Americans. Pretty much only been the well-dressed Nigerian types. It's never been like an aerial Detroit is what I'm saying.
Africans mog Americans blacks all the time, wouldn't be surprise if their thinking was "Hey, if we captured you and sold you into slavery that's on you, shoulda been faster lol"
Life was beautiful.
Something is happening with parents i.e. they're not doing it. iPad kids are braindead brats foisted on the rest of the public.
>Most fat women don't smell
Incredible incorrect.

>large black family in front of me starts singing random verses from what I guess is church music
>each time they sing they gyrate around to look everyone in the eye which I assume is to assert their dominance
i just want to board the fricking plane, they just keep singing
This is definitely the best part of boarding early. You're already comfy, leaning back, and watching the plebs flow in.
Sometimes I like to walk the whole length of the plane when it is a particularly long flight, and boy, walking past economy always makes me feel grateful of where I am in life.
First and business kinda suck t b h. Once you experience flying private with a couple a few good friends and an actual decent pilot on a decent, modern plane instead of some pajeet you'll finally experience what success feels like.
But I enjoy looking down on the riffraff walking past me to cattle class, private would rob me of that experience
Usually won't happen with Delta. It's too expensive. Maybe if it's like a flight from Chicago to Philadelphia though.
Fly Frontier or Spirit to experience this to the max. One of the reasons I'll never fly those two airlines.
i'm surprised how few Black folk seem to fly United. I always pegged United as a poverty airline but I just don't see them much.
United fares are often higher than AA or Delta.
my little sister got stuck between two fatties of this size when we were kids
plane was fully booked and it was not physically possible for us to swap out with her as she was just barely small enough to exist between them
my mom holding in her laughter so hard that she was weeping a few aisles back, which led to embarrassment, which led to more inappropriate laughter
the fatties offered to buy her whatever she wanted from the menu as a "sorry" but, having made the connection that too much food makes you fat, she just asked for another ginger ale
we still tease her about this ~16 years later
It's weird that there are strict rules about how big you need to be on fairground rides, but yet these fatties are deemed fine to fly on planes when they can barely fit down the aisle and don't actually fir in the seat.
no one wants to properly address it up because >muh discrimination and then the airlines will be forced to have big seats for no extra cost for fatties which will destroy their business model of packing in as many people as possible into a plane and then normal people who get no room in a small seat will feel salty because just be fat if you want room on a plane, so basically fat people should just be banned from flying if they can't fit in a plane seat
just stick the fatties into cargo
this made me think - fatties are actually on our side. They should force airlines to make seats bigger to accomodate fatties.
If they refuse than they are fatphobic and discriminatory
Frontier did this, hence the wide middle seats
Trust me you don't want this
Did anyone else fly at all from March 2020 to about December of 2020? That was the absolute best travel of my entire life. I had entire rows to myself, sometimes there was only 3 or 4 other people on the plane total. Then the mask requirements started and people started flying again and it became a worse hell than before. I was flyingfor work becausei was "essenshul"
I flew in March and in November of that year. It reminded me of the months immediately post-9/11, but even better.
Flew weekly from July to the end of the year. Was upgraded on every single flight. Typically had no more than one other person in business with me. Was treated like a king because I was one of the only Exec Plats still flying on AA at that point.
Delta didn't book their middle seats. It was pretty awesome, and they had vents that blew jets of air hard enough so I could actually breathe fresh air while wearing the stupid mask over my nose. But then I got to Colombia and you had to wear a mask at all times in public - but nobody gave a hoot if you let your nose stick out, so it wasn't too bad.
frick you, I keep hearing about how amazing that period was. We will never get those flights and those empty highways back.
It was kino and I miss it
I don't miss the paperwork that you had to fill for each country. But it was good to have flights and destinations with no plebs since paperwork and covid tests are too hard for them.
I flew to the netherlands during the two weeks it was illegal for americans to enter in 2021
there were like, two other parties on the whole 787. those were the halcyon days.
went to Italy from America as my wife is European. this was right after their first COVID spike.
>no tourists in Rome
it was fricking awesome
also they changed the regulation when I was going back to France so I barely got back in. honestly France 2022 wasn't bad either. They were actually happy to see tourists again.
>full body suit chingys
I was alone in my row on my 12 hour flight to KL, It was comfy as frick.
Being able to properly lie down on a plane is a game changer.
Went to Bruxelles in late 2020 to meet and give the ol lickaroo to a grill i met on Interpals. It felt so weird, we were like 15 people in the whole airplane, I remember laying down and take a nap in the seats row and the flight attendants didn't say a thing.
Went to Switzerland in Sept 2020 and Maldives in Dec 2020. Entire departure airport terminal was gloriously empty, planes 1/3 full. Genuinely magical as poors were stuck locked down and COVID lockdown freaks were in their basements pounding sand.
Tokyo to Frankfurt ANA July 2020. It was heavenly. Had an entire row to myself to lie down with a blanket. Popped some valium i got for "flight anxiety" and slammed free sapporos served by cute flight attendants the entire time. watched movies took long shits. ana has great food too. This is how billionaires travel.
I took a regional jet a couple states over to drive a truck home that I bought in April 2020. I was the only passenger in the terminal. I was the only passenger on the entire jet. Private jet, only time I'll get that in my entire life kek.

It was only an hour, but still, I've no idea how this guy managed to go through the entire process of boarding the plane to begin with given he seemed to literally have the mind of a petulant child.

It's common sense to pick aisle and window and then trade if the middle seat is actually occupied.

It’s comfy time
I’ll see you on the other side bros
If you can't fit between the armrests in the down position you have to buy two seats.
These people always smell like grease.
Most fat women don't smell
they get sweaty just breathing. Imagine the smell after a few hours
Bull fricking shit
Every fatty I've worked with smells like moldy leather from not properly bathing or wearing week old clothes because they're lazy as frick.
That's exactly what a fat woman would say.
Anon I'm not seeing a middle seat in that image.
But in all seriousness, if there's no one in the aisle seat then it's no issue. But if there's someone there I'm gonna just ask a stewardess to seat me somewhere else.
fatties should be banned from all places until they lose the weight

I had and have never been closer to irl fedposting than that flight, utterly baffling how you as a parent do fricking nothing to control your unruly child in public as they go out of their way to inconvenience others.
I live in a poor, heavily Hispanic city with an airport and every time I fly home it's like Russian roulette because the average passenger weighs 280lbs
My only funny experience on a plane was while I was going to Berlin and an old guy next to me asks "how many Deustchemarks will that be?" To the flight attendant
She just gives a perfect smile and says five euro

Getting seated next to an obese woman should be a thing you buy with points, it's that comfortable.
I would simply hit on them and frick them.

Singapore-Australia on SA is my favorite plane trip that I actually always look forward too.

Indians are the reason why we can't have nice things, the whole flight is the staff running up and down the aisles nonstop to accommodate the same 15 indians with stupid requests.
Was on a flight from Frankfurt to Nairobi and some american middle aged woman was throwing an absolute fit that a dude wouldn't give up his window seat so that she could "sit with her daughter". (Know she was american because she was crying about the airline losing her bag from Philly). Sure, your day sucked, but middle aged white women can't help but make their problems everyone else's problem too. The fricked part was that there was an open seat in the centre row beside her, she just wanted a window seat.
I hate Americans almost as much as Germans.
Why do you hate Germans?
Incredibly rude and self righteous, but not more in the doesn’t give a frick way than the causing a scene way.
I met an elderly German couple on the way to Canada. They were visiting their daughter in Rocky Mountain House, where they bred sled dogs for many years before moving back to Germoney. They were very nice, you should stop hating Germans.
German war crimes didn’t stop in the 1940s, Frankfurt airport is a testament to that. Why should I stop hating them?
built in 1936, doesn't count
your post is much more interesting when it's cut off
I just got off a night flight in which I was squished between two large Indian men, both hindu. The scent of curry was rather unbearable. So I punished them by ordering the BEEF meal.
Where I sit there are no middle seats

Wish I could fly business more often but I just cannot justify it unless it costs at most 1k-ish more than economy. Which rarely happens, but if I can I structure a yearly long-haul travel around that. Sniped one like that for next month

That was pretty fun to watch, I doubt he had a pleasant day after this.
if you physically cannot get on your seat because of a tubby bastard, what actually happens? Do they move you? What if the plane is full?
in the US:
they would first try to move you to a new seat. if none are available then they need to pay somebody to get bumped off the flight
if nobody accepts any of the lowball offers the airline makes you will get paid the full compensation rate and put on another flight
not sure what would happen elsewhere, probably the fatty would be banned from flying if they don't fit
Wait. You can do all that just for refusing to sit next to a fatty?

Definitely a drug mule
Had a short flight from the Netherlands to Scotland where we flew through a storm as we were leaving the Netherlands and another entering Scotland so we had crazy turbulance the entire flight.
The woman next to me was yelling every time we had a bump or the plane fell a little. "OH MY GOD, OH FRICK, JESUS CHRIST"
I fricking hate flying too but I just stared straight forward in total silence and accepted my fate
Turbulence sucks, but I don't think there has been a single modern passenger jet that ever crashed because of it. The shit you have to worry about is pilot error. That's why you don't fly with Asian or female pilots.
>That's why you don't fly with Asian or female pilots.
How do you even find out who is your pilot before boarding a plane?
I suppose you just have to book a fully refundable fare and watch who boards in uniform.
I've only only flown with white Chad pilots. Are Asian pilots really bad? I've generally seen Asians (the light skinned ones) as being competent in other fields. I understand if you mean Indians or SEA monkey pilots. People there are stupid.
Female drivers and pilots are better than male
Are you one of those idiots that thinks the world would be better if it was run by women?
No they aren't.
in what world?
This 40yo guy next to me on a plane to Rome who took off his shoes and socks once the plane took off. I told him he's not in his living room and to put his shoes on, he looked at me like I just slapped a baby, but he put the shoes on. He kept mumbling for the rest of the flight "unbelievable, unbelievable.." like he was the poor victim here. It's amazing how people have 0 clues about how to act with other people around.
What the frick I always take off shoes for long hail especially if it's night time and half the cabin is sleeping.
shoes off is fine but socks off means u let that stank out
I have incredibly sweaty and stinky feet. Usually after a full day's work my socks have white stains from the sweat and are crusty. There is no way if you have smelly feet that you don't know this. I NEVER take my shoes off in public because I know how bad it is. Hell I would say most men have disgusting feet and should not take their shoes off in public ever.
if you have sweaty white spongiform feet with bacterial holes, PUT NEOSPORIN ON THEM, thick layer, and repeat.
if your feet sweat a lot along with your pits, it's probably sensitivity to caffeine or another upper you take.
> shoes off is fine
No it's not. You're not in your house, you're in a place you're sharing with other stranger. It's disgusting and make other people feel weird, please don't do it. People who takes off their shoes on trains/buses/planes and let everyone take a whiff of their sweaty feet are chink-tier travellers.
Glad to hear that you have never been and you'll never be in any premium class where slippers are provided to you as part of the wardrobe process.
nope shoes off is fine
>have a nice lady basically like OPs pic in the middle seat
>I have assigned seating next to her
>I think to myself 'dang it'
>turns out she is really talkative and friendly, actually have some things in common
>having some good conversations even though I usuall hate talking to people on flights
>kept noticing this guy across the row shaking his head like he's irritated the entire flight
>like 2/3rd into the guy turns towards us and goes 'will you guys please be quiet? I'm trying to read'
>we start talking quieter, like near whispering
>he is still over there shaking his head every so often even though we are talking much quieter
>look closer and he was reading one of those flight instruction manuals from the seat pouches, it seemed like he red it 2 or 3 times
I can't tell what his problem was. It was strange. Maybe he was really nervous and the talking was making it worse?
>I can't tell what his problem was.
>shaking his head like he's irritated the entire flight
>'will you guys please be quiet? I'm trying to read'
>he was reading one of those flight instruction manuals from the seat pouches, it seemed like he red it 2 or 3 times
It's autism.
>where slippers are provided to you
As a gift not for you to wear right there.
>t. LCC enjoyer
out she is really talkative
is this a good thing?
>get back from vacation a few days ago
>flights are Boston-Amsterdam and Amsterdam-Turin
>both planes pretty packed
>window seat both times
>seat beside me empty on both flights
What are the fricking chances? This must be compensation for a few years ago's Milan-NYC where I sat beside a fricking crazy Norwegian old lady who threw killer glances at everything and everyone and mumbled horrible Nordic curses for the whole flight
>taking a short flight in europe only budget airlines
>wait until more or less last to queue up to board
>deep voice comes from behind me breathing heavily "is this the line for fast track"
>start replying "no its that side" as I turn my head to look at who asked
>extremely obese man with long hair and a flowery dress and tights
>attendants saying "go this way if you are seat 1-30, this way for 40-60
>go to the back of the plane where you have to take stairs rather than the ramp as my seat is near the back
>cross dresser goes the other way, relieved i wont be near them they must be near the front
>making my way to my seat and it appears right in front of me again looking up at the numbers
>clicks that it took the ramp out of lazyness
it ended up sitting diagonally in front of me and spent the flight with its head leaning on the chair in front looking sick but for a moment i thought i was in for hell
I once accidentally brought pepper spray on a flight during a work trip
Both the way there and the return, only noticed after arriving back home and unpacking my bag
So much for security
>not owning your own jet
What color is your Bugatti?
LOL. Literally did that from Taipei->Chicago. 14 hour flight stuck between two enormous smelly monster Taiwanese Aborigines. FML.
>itt: reasons I always upgrade to first/business
My GF thinks I'm nuts, but you just don't experience this shit up front.
>Go to Lithuania on visa run
>Happens to be birthday
>Pretend embassy is closed and get another day accommodation paid
>Meet the most qt3.14 girl ever, she gives me a small bottle of some local spirit as a birthday gift
>She says "only drink this if you're feeling down, and you'll remember this moment, and it'll cheer you up"
>Promise never to feel down ever, and that I'll keep the bottle unopened forever
>Fast forward 3 years
>Traveling through Norway
>Forget bottle in hand luggage
>Get asked to throw it out
>Consider missing flight. Decide just to down it there and then
>Lithuania
>visa run
What. From where?
Latvia
Was this in the early 1990's?
Anytime before 2007.
Russia. Also reminds me:
>Be in airport in Russia
>No smoking signs everywhere
>Go to toilet
>Wall of smoke approaches me
>Slav squatters fricking everywhere
>Flight delayed
>Get absolutely smashed at airport bar
>Go to plane
>Last thing I remember is that is haf propellers
>Wake up in Vilinius
Im so pissed that my cheapskate father asked me to visit him while he lives his live in US and im trying to do my best in europoor land and the best he can do is economy class tickets, thanks for making me rage even more
His life*
why is economy not good enough? you sound like a gay
economy on a long haul is miserable especially on a full flight
you might be able to upgrade for cheap when the flight gets close. even premium economy would be much better.
Depends on the airline really
Some run 2-4-2 layout even in economy, makes it rather bearable.
Or what I used to do before being able to afford business regularly is to pick this seat, some extra legroom due to the angle, and only have to bother one other person to get up. But then again not all planes have this
Yeah, my JAL flight next week does the 2-4-2 layout. Pretty comfy.
Fat people are comfy. As long as she doesn't smell bad she's like a giant pillow.
This guy gets it.
t. was stuck between a window and a giant albanian in a night bus and ended up using him as a pillow and he didn't mind. No homosexual though.
Let me guess, you need more? Business class overrated.
Cabin jumpseat is pretty shit for long-haul if you don't have access to the rest area.
>Be me
>Seated next to a beautiful girl with only one arm.
>Unfortunately that arm is occupying my arm rest.
so close to perfection.
you should have placed your arm on top of hers and interlocked fingers
>board the plane
>sit next to older guy
>he has regular coughing fits
>he turns to me and says "dont worry, its not the flu or anything, i have cancer"
Yeah
i do not fly unless work makes me and I am very good at avoiding that too
About 10 years ago my company at the time booked me on a flight to Atlanta. I had an aisle seat, but sitting in the middle seat next to me was the father of a family of three children sitting directly across the aisle.
One of those children was a clearly autistic girl about 12-years-old or so, and she kept panicking and getting out of her seat to pace up and down the aisle. Flight attendants kept bringing her back to her seat, but within minutes she was always getting up again to start pacing from one end of the plane to the other. Her father tried persuading her to stay seated, but she had a fit and started screaming.
I offered to trade seats with him so I didn't have to be in the middle of this shit storm, but he was so focused on his personal tragedy that he didn't even hear me. Meanwhile, one of his daughters sitting next to the autistic one suddenly became airsick and started vomting all over her... and me. The autistic girl freaked out and made a run for it, the father climbed over me to go after her, the mother (sitting in a row behind us) followed him, and the flight attendants started shouting at everyone.
They kept up this fricking circus for over three hours, and there was not one goddamn thing I could do to escape. The parents ignored me, the flight attendants ignored me, and I spent nearly two hours covered in vomit, holding my ears against piercing shrieks of the autistic girl, and getting kneed and elbowed out of the way by just about everyone involved.
Just had to sit on a 3 hour flight between two fat smelly niggles.
I am pretty sure they are on the same connection as well, I might actually kms If sitting near them again
I would just call a flight attendant and complain until I'm moved honestly
I would literally force her ass into her seat until she complained and then tell them to move me or her
Also last long distance flight i had window seat, middle seat was empty then aisle seat taken by based korean dude...we agreeed that middle seat was community so we just kept our stuff and was able to spread out a bit....best 14 hr flight i had in a while compared to my packed delta return flight but least the girl next to me was nice
Flew from PHX to PHL like this once, she kept ripping ass and leaning on me. Most uncomfortable flight I've ever taken.
Blessed were the flights where I get to bullshit around with the flight crew up in the front back when I worked for American.
Can't believe we really had to have equipment to move land whales in and out of seating. Deny them boarding and save the rest of the souls on board from heightened crash risk.
4chin told me two men could be close without it being about degenerate sex 🙁
>thread gets taken over by a bot
better than being by Black folk. I avoid travel now because the last few times I fly, the airports were full of fricking Black folk. unbelievable.
>Have a layover in NYC for flight to Zurich
>Like 30 Hasidic israelites get on
>Kids spend the whole flight running up and down the aisle
>Adults keep standing up and shouting over 10 rows to one another
>c-pap in middle seat
"Hi, I guess the isle seat is mine.."
"Can i buy you a drink?"
>free drink tickets gets her drunk
>she lets you use the c-pap machine that night
>my fat fren 4ever
