Epic WTF

I had a horrible time on a plane on acid once.

In the same vein does anyone have explanation on the near instant seatbelt release once the taxiing stops and stand in the aisle for 5mins til the stairs/skyway comes meaning no one can reach their overhead luggage?

They are the same cunts that aggressively/unnecessarily overtake you in a car only to stop in the queue of traffic whilst you sail on past filtering up the left/right.

MGIF (Must Get In Front) cunts.

(Free GC thread quote below here)

I flew LHR-SFO return about 10 times in 9 months. My best flight was when I fell asleep before take off and woke up after landing with the plane almost empty. Window seat, no-one had to disturb me, didn't disturb anyone else. Bladder management considered before even getting to the airport.

Second best flight was getting hammered in Upper Class on a Virgin SFO-LHR flight and playing cards with the stewards/stewardesses, and Mick Rock, at the "bar" (when they still had those on Virgin Atlantic 747s).

(All of which was mostly unnecessary, and I look back at my carbon footprint in shame.)

For small airports where there will be a single passport control person, and few taxis, this kinda makes sense TBH.

Large airports though, absolutely zero sense... Just doesn't get you any advantage

A lot of the time it's airlines and their shitty "optimised" transfer times so you need to get off the plane and run like Kipchoge at the Berlin marathon to make your next flight (unless the airline has mugged you off with a bus to the terminal, in which case the joke's on you). A lot of the time it's just people being dicks though.
