I love going to the airport. I know I'm in the minority, but there's something so relaxing about going through security, finding my gate, getting a little snack, walking around the terminal, and finally getting on an airplane. I don't have any flying anxiety because if the plane crashes, there is nothing I can do about it. Of all the ways to die, death by flying machine is definitely in my top 3. Unfortunately, most people do not enjoy flying as much as I do, and I understand why! Airports are…

Very few of us know what it's like to control a giant metal tube flying through the sky at incredible heights and lengths. That is probably for the best, seeing how most people behave on planes. I'm no exception to this rule! After having heard it too many times, I can barely stay awake to listen to the pre-flight safety announcement. At least I'm not someone who takes my shoes off on the plane. Starting your career as a pilot isn't always glamorous. You might begin flying corpses across the co…

Nothing more awkward

Depending on the circumstances, it's usually best you choose the latter option. If not, you might risk making a scene or be…

If it seems to you like everyone is experiencing flight cancellations this summer, you're not alone. My in-laws, cousins, and some friends all had flights cancelled on them within the last week, and though my flight wasn't cancelled, flying to San Francisco was a total nightmare. Due to staffing cuts at both airlines and airports, and more Americans feeling comfortable traveling during the pandemic, airports are a shitshow. And they're not getting any better. We need to travel smart. And that's…

Meanwhile, in Boston:

Ice cold

The etiquette of life is pretty different when you’re in the air, full of rules that do everything from stopping people being jerks to preventing the plane from doing a nosedive. If you’ve half-watched the cabin crew do the safety demonstration enough times, one of these that is probably burned into your brain is a variation on the words “ smoking is not permitted on this flight”. However, this doesn’t always mean that people pay attention to it. While it may seem like an obvious rule that appl…

Talk about liminal space.
