Every now and then someone says something that describes the way I feel so succinctly that it bears repeating.
What I would really like is if we could fast-forward to the inevitable time where we will be anesthetizing passengers and stacking them in racks for long journeys. I think at least for me, air travel would be much more pleasant this way. I mean as a passenger. I hate flying as a passenger. I was under a general anaesthetic once, and it was lovely. I just had a dry throat and was very thirsty when I woke up, which is just the same as an aeroplane ride, come to think of it, without the hours and hours of discomfort and pissed-offedness preceding it.
Actually, the way it is going with reduced pleasure in flying, and checking in also, the best solution would be for the airline to pick you up at home, like a FedEx parcel. They would sedate you at home, weigh you, ferry you wherever you are going, based on weight, You would simply wake up in your booked hotel room, fresh for dinner and drinks. I would just love that!
