Remember how much easier airplane travel used to be? Security used to be a simple stroll through a metal detector. Then 9/11 happened which introduced the hassle of strict security. Over the years airplane travel has changed significantly and has become a huge struggle. Here are some of the examples of the painful experience of air travel:
1. Removing Shoes
I cannot think of anything more repulsive than removing your shoes and following the trail of toe jam and smelly feet through security.
2. No More Than 3.2 ounces of Liquid
Rip to all of the full drinks that had to be thrown out before security.
3. Delayed/Cancelled Flights
When your plane gets delayed and you miss your connecting flight and it takes 200000 days to get where you need to go.
4. Turning Phone Off on Plane
When you go on an airplane and drop off the face of the earth for hours.
5. Long Plane Rides
When it feels like you will never land and you can't take being in the crowd seat any longer
6. Bathrooms Are Always Occupied
The bathrooms are tiny to begin with and there is always a mile long line formed.
7. The Smell
Having to stop myself from gaging because a man 3 rows ahead pulled out a tuna sandwich that stinks up the whole plane.
8. Seats
Sitting next to a bigger person and you are completely squished the whole flight.
9. Turbulence
"We are experiencing some minor turbulence, please remain in your seats" But it actually feels like we are all going to die.
10. Lost Baggage
If you are lucky and everything has gone smoothy than there is a 99% change the airline lost your luggage, and the airline is "doing everything they can."
But in the end the most important thing is that you arrived safely.
