I've more or less conceded that I'm in the tiny minority here, but this is exactly how I feel. I could care less about inflight Wi-Fi – especially Starlink. How fast does your internet need to be to look at email and Instagram?
controversial maybe but I hateeee that planes are all getting WiFi and are becoming somewhere else you can’t escape phones

These allegations are incorrect, btw. But they aren't baseless ...
Is that a coffee in @Gunnarsolson’s hand or … something else? Also peep the three-piece Canadian tuxedo 👀

Two truths: 1) Every U.S. airline can suck on any given day. It's the traveler's fault for being brand loyal in the first place. 2) Most foreign airlines (especially European, Asian, and Middle Eastern carriers) are better than any U.S. airline.
“Dont fly American, they’re always delayed” “Delta has the worst customer support. Avoid” “Dont fly United. Their loyalty points are trash” Alright man I’m boarding my greyhound bus and transferring to amtrak in Cleveland. Is that what you want

These are the three best sentences I've ever read, in order.

Everything about this is incredible, except the threat of "productivity and socialisation in the sky."

Did you bring your microphone home tonight? Can we emergency pod, quick?
The cuck pullout bed/desk combo is absolutely diabolical stuff from Hilton

Man, I wish that guy dropped those flip-flopped losers in this video. Also, it's not the most important thing here ... but what is their plan with that volleyball in Glacier National Park?
Confrontation in Glacier National Park: Our camera person witnessed a confrontation in Glacier last week after a group of hikers confronted another group for being off trail and approaching several mountain goats. For safety tips in Glacier click here: bit.ly/4cjCZ6d

Sheesh. This Kyle Potter guy's obviously never taken a coolcation ...
American Airlines just announced a slew of new routes for next summer including Vienna (VIE), Nice (NCE), Porto (OPO) and Reykjavik (KEF) ... but it's also trying to make the phrase "coolcations" happen, which is horrifying and arguably negates everything else they're doing.

I was here, in the beer line for the Peace Be With You in the 5th inning. Hitting the bartender with a Peace Be With You before ordering 4 Miller Lite for $20 total ($5 Tuesdays at the Rate) was a truly religious moment for me.
5th Inning ‘Peace Be With You’ was a movie

Sandlot doubleheader is THE move.
Guy in front of me on the plane yesterday, probably 6'5", 280, meathead, covered in tats. Four-hour flight. Scrolling through the seatback TV, he finally picks Sandlot. Watches the entire thing, doesn't smile or look away once. The credits roll, The End. Bro presses "Play Again." Watches Sandlot again. The Jet steals home (for the second time) right as the seatbelt sign goes off at the arrival gate. No phone, no e-mail, no music. Just back-to-back Sandlots from ATL to Boise. Unbelievable energy.

Until the flight attendant says, "How about a coffee, sir?"
Be honest... how long would you spend in our A380 Onboard Lounge? 👀

Thrifty Traveler is about to either get a whole lot better or a whole lot worse with our newly adopted work schedule.
Ian Fleming’s typical day at his estate in Jamaica where he wrote all his James Bond stories, need to emulate this

Delta is a jealous girlfriend. We can't even so much as flirt with another airline here at MSP before Delta runs them out of town.
BREAKING: Ireland's Aer Lingus will cut routes from Minneapolis as well as Denver and Las Vegas this fall. The airline cites cost-cutting for the reductions but there's another reason MSP is getting the axe just two years after commencing: Delta bullied them off the route.

This man has to be stopped.
Airplane power move: Watch the same movie as your seat mate but fast forward so you’re ahead of them by a few seconds If done correctly, they will have to watch you react to every major scene a few seconds before they see it on theirs, thus securing row level dominance
