that was beautiful

Could you please calm down?

Friendly reminder that if we all fly more than 6 times in our lives, our planet is fucked and cannot be recovered

Yep, another reason why I don't fly unless it is really needed (maybe once every 5 years, even less than that).

Being in Europe is an advantage as we can travel by train and don't have to go far away to feels like holidays (between France, Italy and Switzerland you have an extensive train network and tons of things do discover. This can easily be extended to other country)

I know, I know, it's a pipe dream. Doesn't stop me from fantisizing each time I'm on a plane.

So many problems in this world would be solved if only we could just get everyone all together to do <insert whatever>.

"I'm not even supposed to be here!"

I'll die on this hill: overhead compartments should have dividers and sections assigned to seats. This would solve a number of problems, including oversized bags (it must fit in the section assigned to you) and the problem you describe.

I'll probably catch shit for this, but I'm going to say it anyway: the normalization of casual air travel was a mistake. I think there is a time and place for it, but it isn't something that should be done lightly.

What's the hurry to stand up, especially if there's a bus that waits for everyone or if needs to wait the luggage

Just enjoy seating down

I get pissed when they turn off the entertainment system immediately after landing

Hour for hour, there’s no better way to warm the planet than to fly in a plane.

you should write a book

exactly my point

Alright. *slaps thighs* Time to stand right in front of my seat for 10 minutes hunched over the seat before me, lest my co-passengers misinterpret my staying seated as an unwillingness to get out of here ASAP.

I need to fucking stretch my legs.

If the plane is late and someone has connections or someone has kids, I think they should get priority.

But it turns chaotic everytime because most people have no patience.

YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE PLANE FOR 4 HOURS WHAT IS 5 MINUTES??

I live in the UK - domestic flights haven't featured significantly in my life. As in my comment doesn't have them as context.

The only domestic flight I remember taking was flying from Edinburgh to Cardiff and it took almost as long as taking the train (whilst being significantly more hassle).

I was speaking more generally, not about flights specifically, and about how common it is.

Adults throughout my life seem to constantly be rushing to everything. As a proper big boy adult now myself (I'm almost 40) I still don't get how it's so pervasive. My comment was more about how common it is, not about reasons people might be in a rush. I can think of plenty of reasons any given person might be in a rush on a given day but so many people seem to be in a perpetual mad dash. That bit boggles my mind.

I've flown enough to not check in luggage. Not gonna wait for that bullshit. No one needs more than what can go in the overhead bin. Only ever pack for a week, if you're gone for longer than that, find somewhere to wash, anything more is a waste of space, time, and money.

Staying out of the way of all the people rushing is somehow the problem?

Explain.
