Try getting to Iceland in a hurry without one. One can even get to Los Angeles or New York in three hours. Get a Subaru Legacy and drive the distance. Despite a small shitey bathroom and seatbelt fasten sign, I'll continue to fly.

I’m behalf of the rest of us who have to fly, I agree with you. Flying is terrible and you should not do it ever again.
I would hate to get stuck next to someone who “has to get a coke”. Get your stuff together and play by the same rules as everybody else.

I see you are a newbie. I'd suggest when you post that you are also ready for the onslaught of replies. Depending on the shite you post you will get favorable and unfavorable and sometimes smartazz replies. Just enjoy the back and forth but don't try to answer back to every critic. Man just let it go sometimes.

Leaving your bag unattended isn't smart. Even pre 9/11, this was a no-no.

I just want to get from point A to point B. I don’t need anything other than the opinion to buy a beverage.

First time flying baw?
Posted on 11/10/19 at 7:51 am to Shreveport Captains
I don't enjoy it at all either.

I hate flying too.
- Going through security
- Worrying about flights being on time to make my connection
- Overhearing a hundred asinine conversations at once
- No fresh air from the time you step into your first airport to the time you leave your last
- Nothing to look at or do
- Shitty overpriced food and drinks
If it’s 9-10 hours or less I’ll usually drive.
Direct flights ease the annoyance of a lot of those items above but unless you live in a hub city (I don’t) those are rare.

I don't mind flying 
Don't be high-
maintenance.
Don't be an a-hole.
You'll probably have an ok time.
Yeah we're all bitched about this in fricking 2002. We deal with it (and now with pre it doesn't matter).

Modern airlines have gone to great lengths to handle people like cargo.
Cargo carriers use as little space as possible per unit of cargo, and cram as much cargo as they can into each plane. They strap the cargo down and hope that it won’t move around too much during the flight. If there’s no room for the cargo on the current airplane, they set it aside for the next airplane.
Commercial airlines do the same things with human beings. I believe they’d sedate passengers prior to takeoff if it were legal and the drugs were cheap enough. Then they could pack small passengers into the overhead bins, stack some on top of each other on the floor, and eliminate the galley and bathrooms for more cargo space.

I used to fly regularly on business from Dallas to Midland. I would buy my ticket at the last minute, so I would always gets the full search.
On about 1/3 of my flights, there was the busty Latina who was hot (no pics) and who regularly flew Dallas to Midland. For some reason, she was always getting the full search too. I asked her once if she bought her ticket at the last minute and she said "no."
I always thought about "Liar Liar" which Jim Carrey tells the stacked woman in the elevator that everyone likes her because of her huge boobs.

Leaving your bags behind is clearly a no go dude everyone knows that
Plus why would you want to? Bags get stolen in airports all the time
