The days of wanting a couple of plane tickets to an exotic getaway are over. These days, convicts get better treatment than airline passengers. I mean, secluded in unsanitary conditions in “lounges” after all flights get canceled, there is no response from the airlines as to when they’ll even attempt to get you to your destination. Then, there are the mugshot photos in the media of passengers sleeping on unsanitary floors while the airline dithers.
I’m sorry. But the days when it was a given that a flight was “the way to go” are over. Nope, from the recent news I’ve seen, you’ll need more than one paperback by your favorite author to last you through that hop between Dallas and San Francisco.
Oh, and I forgot. You’d probably be willing to kill for a rest-stop burger after they offer you some peanuts or crackers for a meal. Forget about it; I will take the train or a cruise!

I have had my share of bad airport experiences also.
Before you leave your seat on the plane, would you be kind enough to give me your Biscoff cookies? And the honey roasted almonds? A person could get hungry trying to sleep on that nasty floor.
I’m afraid that Max my dog has dibbs on the biscoff biscuits – they are his favorite.
He has such good taste!
Expensive taste too.
If I had two plane tickets, I’d cash one in and take the money and upgrade my seats and go to Italy. 😀
Smart Lady!!!
Ma naturale!
I remember preparing for a flight from NY to California and my Mom bought me a new outfit. to wear on the plane. And flip flops were a no-no. Today some choose to go barefoot once they board.
Alice, I remember those days too. It was special to fly. Not so much anymore though.
