Spirit only been out of business for 24 hours and Delta rushing to fill the void of shitty service
I’m suddenly reminded of when United Airlines was dragging customers down the middle of the aisle of the plane for some reason.
They break your guitar then beat you up
it’s hilarious how flying gets exponentially worse every single year and everyone’s all ohwellwaddayagonnadoamirite
i don’t know how much money you’d have to pay me to ever deal with flying again, but it would be a lot.
its madtv paradoy of the airlines fufilling prophecy. in the that madtv skits, the airline was nickle and diming everything, including seatbelts, up to the oxygen.
THEN THEY WONT BE MAD WHEN I BRING MY OWN FOOD TO THE AIRPORT RIGHT…
RIGHT…
No they don’t I’ve done it a lot
Ryanair threatened to charge me for an “extra bag”. The “extra bag” was a sandwich.
… Actually, they don’t get mad. I have done that a few times, bringing sandwiches with me.
TSA only cares about liquids, you can bring all the non-liquid food on you want. If it fits in the scanner (and doesn’t show up as liquid), it’s all good. Your airline may care about bringing extra carry-ons, but they won’t careif you eat it before getting on.
And I’ve been on a bunch of those short flights, they go up and are cruising for about 20 mins before they start coming down. I bet the cabin crew didn’t always make it to the back of the plane anyway before they had to pack it up.
Of all the shitty things airlines do, it might be the least shitty.
So, big block of ice?
You know I don’t fly and did not think much about the liquid restriction but this kinda makes me think they should always provide water, coffee, tea, pop, and other cheap options.
You should always be able to get water for free on a plane
They don’t even care if you eat your own food during a flight. The flight attendants only concern is that the tray table is up during takeoff and landing. Aside from that, eat (almost) whatever you want.
In my experience you are right but I wonder how far you could take it… Like there are outlets at most seats in modern airplanes, could I bring a hot plate and make Korean BBQ on the flight?
DO NOT DO THIS! BEST CASE YOU WILL PROBABLY BE INCONVIENCED AND HARESSED, WORST CASE ARESSTED!
I don’t think airplane outlets output more than 100Watts
I have no idea, just a funny thought. What if you used your carry-on for like a 30lb turkey and started carving it up like Thanksgiving once you reach coasting altitude?
Your shit will get extra searched if any if the food is in containers they can’t scan though. Not exactly convenient to have my bag fully emptied and scrutinized by TSA because I brought Goldfish crackers. Also flights near the Canadian border definitely have food restrictions even if you are flying between US destinations.
Not at all. I boarded lots of planes with food brought from outside the airport. Even international, back to Europe from the USA I went through the controls with some left over chicken no problem.
You can bring anything you want as long as it’s not more than 3oz liquids
Sorry i really don’t give a shit or share everyone’s angst.
Airplane snacks and drinks have always been shit.
Amazingly I’ll sit on my couch, or at my desk for 3+ hours without anyone bringing me a drink or stale pretzels and I somehow survive. It’s a miracle every time.
Free whisky was nice.
Yeah after flying for business for 30 years, I don’t eat or drink any of that crap anymore. I eat before I get on the plane or take my own snacks on with me.
I totally agree. It should be like a time length thing, where like 3+ hour flights it’s required and people that actually like it can fly on airlines that advertise it. They have water refill stations in most airports if you want to bring a bottle and you can purchase other beverages if you wish.
It’s actually annoying to take off, then 20 mins later have them do a drink service that takes a half hour to complete, to then have them come back and bother me again less than an hour later to pick up cups.
I feel like 3+ hours you should get an actual meal. thats a long time especially if you take into account getting through security and to the airport.
