The use of the word "comfy" to describe an aircraft makes me chuckle for some reason xD

I literally just took my first flight this past Friday, and took my second one today to get home. It was absolutely not comfy at all lmao. But I’m glad I finally got to fly after 37 years of never doing so.

Also, fuck airports.

They can be pretty disorienting and chaotic until you get a natural sense of how they work.

I think I did alright for my first time, especially having layovers in decently sized airports and having to check a bag.

If you got to your gate on time, then you did good. Honestly, they’re so much better than they used to be.

I had enough time to wait in a long ass Chick-Fil-A line in Dallas Forth Worth!

Yeah - going to the airport hungry is not a good time. Especially if you’re stuck buying from the food courts.

Yeah I had some terrible chicken tenders in Wilmington before I left on my flight out to Arizona. And they were wicked expensive. But the Chick-Fil-A was only about a dollar more expensive than normal ones.

I love getting to check out different airports. Even better when you have time to get a few drinks in. Those seats make my ass hurt though lol

He’s probably a pilot. They’re the only ones with decent seats.

Or remembered the 90s when some 747s weren’t retrofitted for packing humans into a can of sardines

The 90s were awful. They had middle seats that didn’t go flat, even in first class.

Plus the ashtrays were still there but full of gum.
