And the “free” pretzels are also sponsored with an ad on the packaging.
You COULD be paying for first class seats and getting that kind of treatment, but you’re flying Economy, aren’t you.
Eh, if you’re looking for the cheapest ticket available you can’t really expect luxury. Airlines are competing with prices, so all luxury goes off the window like a passenger on a Boeing flight
Look at Mr. Moneybags over here, getting a drink that’s not water.
Stupid. The cost for flights then was more like beyond first class prices now.

And a lot more smoky.
This reminded me of that one flight as a kid, when I was seated in a row with two smokers. I literally couldn’t breathe. I’m happy that my kids don’t have to experience shit like this.
Don’t like the smoke? Then sit on the other side of the aisle in the non-smoking section.
It can be extremely luxurious if you pay.
I’d rather get to my destination with my wallet still in tact, but you do you.
We are too reliant of air travel as it is. With the advent of the internet we should reduce air travel down to permitted leisure/visiting family and migration. Businesses should be able to video confernced most transactions. The situations where you absolutely need on site representation can be reduced drastically.
That is, if you took climate change seriously.
“Permitted leisure”? I mean this in the kindest way. Fuck you and your miserable excuse for living.
Lol. “The environment can suck my big fat cock. I need to go to Jamaica, NOW!”
Thanks for the laugh.
You don’t even know what real driver is, you’re just so pathetic and poor you dont want anyone else doing anything either
I do have a selfish reason; and it’s not because I don’t vacation. It’s I travel for work and that shit is exhausting. Anyway, you’re acting like you care so go and give this a read and leave me alone you dope.
Fucking retard
Using the r word in 2024. Someone I really want to interact with.
Oh you’re just so clever and progressive, so open minded your fucking brain fell out.
Wait till accelerating climate change makes leisure flights a thing of the past in the next decade or so, along with tame weather and dependable agriculture.
Our species is done, thanks to mindsets like yours.
How you morons even look in the mirror is beyond me
a thing of the past for poor people, anyway.
We were too conservative in our estimates and other accelerating factors, like loss of the reflectivity of our arctic regions, have entered the game.
This stuff doesn’t go away on any human perceived timeframe even if we stopped entirely. Our beloved capitalists will be able protect themselves for a couple more decades beyond us peasants, but their luxury bunkers with ironically self-sustaining agricultural sections will effectively become the tombs of the families most responsible.
We were just smart enough to make technologies that helped us today and doomed us tomorrow, and still too bone dead stupid not to stop/drastically reduce using them upon discovering the consequences of their use.
🔥🤷🔥
Plus, high-speed rail is better for the environment.
Not having to do unnecessary travel at all beats every transportation mode…
Yes, and necessary travel doesn’t need to be via car or plane.
HA. So look, I do agree. Problem is businesses don’t care, even if we do. If you figure out a way to stop management across way too many professions from holding hour long meetings to talk about some data point that has so significance to what is actually happening, and those “leaders” who call meetings early to get the team together, when the whole damn thing could be in an email…yeah man, when you solve that, I’ll work with you to solve the rest.
Ok, but like I’m not going to solve it. It’s not also going to be solved today. I’m just saying you want to gripe about your shitty airplane experience like we need to make it a luxury resort when really we need to stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere.
Businesses should be able to video confernce most transactions.
Almost everyone who travels a lot for work wants this too.
You guys get snacks?
With Ryanair I’m thankful that they have to offer a seat.
There’s no snacks. Maybe a mini bag of pretzels if the flight is over 5 hrs long.
And you get that for free? That’s wild! I really mean that I’m happy Ryanair has to offer me a seat
With Ryanair you have to pay extra for the air stewardess not to spit on your face or insult you on the way in.
(I might be exaggerating)
(But not by much)
That’s the only service I would happily pay extra for but they do it for free
Y’all know you’re allowed to bring your own food right?
Not drinks though. Man, that time our whole family of five got detained for an hour and given the bomb sniffing treatment because my wife brought a tube of baby butt cream that was a 1/4 ounce too big
But I want to pay 3,50€ for a bottle of water and 10€ for horse meat lasagna
Cheaper innit.
Succinct
Look at you, flying on rich planes with that much space in front of you
Yeah but at least the quality of service has went from smiling attractive courteous flight attendants to snarling aisle donkeys.
Talking about service workers like that is 🚩🚩🚩
My father’s generation thought planes would just get faster and faster and by now we’d be able to fly from NYC to Tokyo in 40 minutes
Concorde wasn’t far off that sort of speed. But it was too expensive. Such speeds will probably return in some form one day.
Concorde wasn’t far off that sort of speed. . .
The concorde took 180 minutes (3 hours) to travel from New York to London (3,000 nautical miles).
Ignoring range limits, a trip from New York to Tokyo (5,861 nautical miles) at that speed would take 351 minutes (5.8 hours).
Sadly, missile technology usurped bombers, so there was no reason for the government to pay for the development of large, ultra-fast aircraft after the early 70s
Just put seats on the missile then? I don’t know I’m not an engineer
Good old airlines and their ideal business model:
Charge you like you’re flying on Concorde.
Treat you like you’re on a 16th century slaving ship.
They used to be also fascinated by plastic.
I bet their smiles would not last long realizing that the 5g bag of pretzels has 2g of plastic (and that’s just the tip of the plastiberg).
Because our children’s children will still be paying the tab for that unsustainable opulence. Fuck they’ll be paying the bill for recreational air travel with only pretzels.
