Did you get a square meal?

looks as if he rode in the overhead compartment

Boeing?

In recent decades, air travel has lost some of its luster and whole lots of luggage. Keeps that store in Alabama fully stocked year round.

Maybe it was a nonstop.

I have not been on a flight that has been remotely on time in months. My SO was on a flight that left six hours late a few days ago.

US Airlines used to fight to get customers through better service. Now it seems they want to see how much they can cut and still keep passengers. They should be following the movie theatre model, instead of the polar opposite.

Wendy’s has square meat patties because Dave Thomas vowed to never cut corners

They only flew one way. He had to walk home.

boy, that must’ve felt strange and uncomfortable… :{

Looks like he had to cut the trip short…?

As long as the doors and tires stayed on……

He went there and back, and now has pain there in his back.

Not to worry.

There will be more airline mergers, soon. You know, to be ‘competitive’.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be experiencing a little turbulence.”

Favorite flight-attendant safety messages, from back before they started playing recordings:

“If you’re traveling with a child, adjust your own oxygen mask first. If you’re traveling with more than one child, decide right now which one you love the most.”

“… and you unbuckle the seat belt the same way as every other seat belt you’ve ever used.”

“Our pilot today is Captain Crunch.”

“In the unlikely event of a water landing, you’ll know you’re not in Kansas any more.”

You can hardly blame them. It must get awfully boring after the 1000th repetition of the same line of patter, and at least these guys were entertaining.

Spirit?

Never underestimate a bean counters’ ability and desire to cut corners, gee whiz.

It was a sweet deal but he didn’t get to deplane at the other end. You had to come straight back to get the deal.
