The end of cheap flights

[gamadmex4502]

I'm on the fence about this. While I like anyone else enjoy paying as little as possible for air travel, the ultra-low fares tended to turn flights into a sky-bus. The things you would sometimes see on a flight were just unbelievable.

The era of road rage has begun

I was around for the end of the golden age of flying when a gentleman wore a jacket. Now you are lucky if pajama pants are pulled all the way up.

There are 1,400 reasons per passenger this will not keep the slobs off of airlines anytime soon.

Right! When I was a kid taking my first plane ride, I wore a tie, a clip-on bow tie, but it was a tie.

Same. I also got a cool little Pan Am travel bag with all kinds of swag in it, including a little 707. Made up for having to wear that clip-on.

My first flight was on TWA on 1988. I was 11. All I ever knew about flying before was Lockerbie, Scotland. I was scared ****less.

I generally try to dress at a minimum decently on a flight , sometimes a suit dependent upon what happening at the destination.

I am amazed at the folks who look as if they are at a flea market (no offense to flea markets).

I have seen people in PJ's, slippers, girls and sometimes women in extremely revealing tops (the ones you wish you could un-see), women in Spandex who apparently do not own a full-length mirror, and younger men with pants basically around their knees. But the worst is when you are seated next to or close to someone whose aroma announces his arrival way in advance. That is when you pray that there are empty seats several rows away.

I make sure my people still dress properly, including for travel!

I don't fly so I'm good
