Spirit killed air travel.

No, they're ridiculous for you because you want to fly out of BHAM. I can fly to MCO from IAH for $117 r/t.

It's why I dive for trips that take up to 20 hours. Flying has become the new EBT infested Walmart experience.

Great question, isn't it?

Black Fatigue or Envy? Choose one and mind your business.
Why do you assume that black pepper have to live life as if they. Were raised by your parents?
This America. Freedom is freedom.

Airports are stinky, trashy places with trashy, often annoying, people.

I'd settle for just not being noisy and disruptive in public.
But apparently thats too much to ask.

Its a much different experience than flying in the 90s. It was pleasant then, its a chore today.

The same reason you see them with the latest iPhone, latest Air Jordans, latest everything. We're feeding and housing them which gives them disposable dollars.
I bet the vast majority of companies that sell products in the US want SNAP and assistance to continue, and maybe even be increased.

Easy to be ‘free’ when someone else is footing much of the bill.
Can I get freedom from not paying money to deadbeats?

I just priced a round trip ticket to Orlando from Bham in February. $1000 for two tickets plus baggage fees. Airfares are ridiculous now.
We are driving. After doing the math and factoring in driving an hour to the airport, then the time needed to check in and board, deboard, then wait on luggage to get unloaded, there's not much difference in the travel time. Plus I don't take the chance of having to sit next to some behemoth with poor hygiene.

Flying is pretty cheap. Most expensive flight I've booked in last year was $750 rt nola to Dublin.
I usually can get rt to europe for around that.
Yea, if you are flexible on dates, flying is super cheap. I've done europe multiple times and never paid more than $600. If dates aren't flexible, that's when it can get expensive, but jumping when the deals hit, save so much money.

Yep, one of the few things that is cheap.
Competition is amazing. We need more of it across the board in all industries.

Affluent and what you think affluent looks like are not the same.

Apparently there's a new trend where every Indian who flies demands a wheelchair.
