    Flights have amenities. Some give you free food, some free wifi.

    None of it is actually free of course. It’s just that the cost is included in the ticket price.

      I don’t want food or WiFi. I want legroom so I can sleep. I don’t want seatback entertainment. I don’t want a complimentary tea towel, blanket, and neck pillow. I don’t want your stupid cheapo earbuds. I don’t want Tim Tams and that little sachet of Vegemite with my toast. I don’t want your gross instant coffee. I don’t even want a flat white. I don’t care that you have soymilk. And thay muffin you gave me has egg in it. I told you I can’t have egg. I don’t want your little tiny tube of toothpaste with that miniature toothbrush. I don’t want to watch Adam Sandler’s Wedding Singer on that screen you have on the wall in front of the aisle. I want legroom. I want to watch the insides of my eyelids. I hate having to lay my legs sideways for hours and being unable to relax or sleep because I am knees-pressed against the seat in front of me. And that camera on the seat back freaks me out. Why why why. Just let me sleep.

      Sorry. I got a bit agitated there.

        Legroom is probably the most expensive thing to give on a plane, so if you want legroom, pay for the privilege and fly business class. Otherwise, at least try to enjoy the few concessions you get from the airline

    I mean if the price of wifi is offset by showing a single ad, it seems preeeetty stingy after you already paid for a seat.

      Other airlines make you pay $6-$10 for the wifi. Wouldn’t you rather watch one ad and get it for free?

        You’re talking about what is, and I’m talking about what could be.

        No. No I wouldn’t. I never want to be forced to watch an ad.

  Not all flights include Wi-Fi, even if the plane is equipped with it
