Reality Check by Dave Whamond for February 24, 2025

The choice is plane enough.

Is Your Journey Really Necessary?

Boy, First Class ain’t what it used to be.

In the future when AI knows all and runs all.

Ewwwww. I think I’ll walk.

Another reason not to fly.

Cancel

Why airline tickets are NDA’s.

Fly with rival company

“Nut case that wigs-out in the aisle and has to be removed from the plane” was left out… so I’ll take his seat!

Can she fit in the overhead compartment?

Seat next to infant who definitely needs changed!! (Happened to me once…)

hopefully, not a long flight..

It won’t be a flight of fancy.

and … did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?

Erma Bombeck

Hm, maybe you should drive

“400 pound man who pushes against you since he wants to sit in your seat as well as his.” (actual experience)

I may pass on the trip.

With all the budget cuts to the FAA, driving is probably safer.

My last flight to Alaska was the free seat.

I think i’ll drive to Hawaii.

I have never understood how the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane…

Rail travel is not that bad.

Ejector seat.

You forgot the guy playing a military style video game at full volume without earbuds. That happened once, not next to me, but a couple of rows behind me. I felt sorry for the people sitting closer to him.

The more I read, the less I want to travel by plane.

Wait until they get a load of her severe psoriasis. She’ll fit right in. :)

I’ll take the train thank you!

I think I’ll just drive.

Given the changes at the FAA, I won’t be flying again for a good long time, but then again, who misses the flight I took from London to NYC seated amongst 5 members of a family from Turkey, all delightful people based on our conversations, who clearly hadn’t bathed in a very, very long time. Or the flight from Nairobi to London with 28 orphaned infants being taken to an adoption agency, who all wailed virtually the entire flight. This was before I knew of the existence of noise cancelling earplugs, just about lost what little mind I’ve ever had.

And they’ve all been drinking, including the kid.

better call uber….

Too true!

Aqua Velva solves all. And, hide your chronic leprosy with long sleeves.

Another reason not to fly.

Leaving on a jet plane …

Don’t know if I’ll be flyin’ again …

Oh babe, I hate to go …!

( apologies a’ la Dave )

Yep, all the charm of riding in a bus at many times the cost! ;-)

No thanks, I’ll drive.

I love road trips so there.

the unruly kid should be seated right behind her

she might be a flight risk…

I’ll sit out on the right wing

Have you heard about the proposal to have double decker seats on planes. Instead of having the seats beside each other, they are staggered at different heights. The trouble is, if you are in the middle, you are in the fart zone as your face is close to someone else’s ar$e. That’s a hard no from me
