    Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you’re taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It’s all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows

        Flew back from Hawaii on WestJet last year and paid for extended comfort… I don’t regret it purely because it would of been an even shittier experience otherwise.

        This is just about greed it’s not to make it more affordable. they changed everything last year making it far more expensive for everything. Not to mention their points have gone to shit and their companion vouchers are worthless.

        Nationalize the airlines and remove the profit motives.

          I wish our government would regulate this shit. Airlines shouldn’t be able to nickle and dime like this. Prices just keep going up 😒

          I agree, something should be done. But I’m not sure about price increase. I’ve been flying one long haul destination for almost 20 years. The catch? The price has been about there all this time. I always book a long time in advance, but still.

            They cost $42,95 but I kinda think it’s a shitty move when you can upgrade to extra legroom in most flights.

              Anyone remember when Air Canada really was a great airline?

              The article is about WestJet.

                  Do you have any idea how much more expensive flying used to be? When I was small, in the 1960s, people might take one overseas flight in their lives. Some never did.

                  A quick search indicates that a round-trip flight between New York and London in 1965 cost about $3,500 in today’s dollars. Now it averages $800.

                  Not that I disagree that airlines are nickel and diming people and keep pushing to see how far they can go before it hurts their bottom line.

                  People bitch and moan about airlines, but the only problem I have had with airlines is the passengers.

                  No one had to fly beside some sweaty fat fuck in flip flops in 1965.

                        Same height. Before they started selling those exit row seats for more money I used to ask the flight attendants to let me move if there was room available. It seemed to help if I stood up extra tall so that my head would be close to the roof, they hooked me up a few times (I didn’t fly that often back then anyway), especially on littler planes were I looked like a giant.

                        I have many sat in a normal seat in a while since my the person who books my flights is also tall and gets me the extra legroom seats automatically now. So I’m spoiled.

                        Really there should be safer seat spacing for tall people though, but I’m not holding my breath.
