these guys used to be daring adventurers with goggles and swag and now the pilots have to wear a button down and the airlines squeeze every penny out of you and every drop of fun or joy or magic or adventure out of the experience.
in the 20s it was a great adventure! in the 60s people wore suits and got proper meals! now we just get xrayed and told we can’t bring in water! i love starting my vacation being treated as a terrorist!

I personally avoid traveling by plane whenever I can, the experience and added stress just isn’t worth the time saved.

High speed rail is awesome. Amtrak in the US is a slow, lumbering joke.

Welcome to Germany, where driving a car through the entire country for 8 hours is still a better experience than trying to go anywhere with Deutsche Bahn. 🤮

1.5 days by car vs 2h by plane, I’ll take the plane, thanks. But you do you 😋
