Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for February 19, 2023

As long y’all get on the plane. That’s all that matters right.

When the one SWA flight not canceled gets called

I read they got power back at JFK. Glad I don’t have to fly anywhere.

I used to fly weekly for my job (and boyohboy could I tell you stories) and would always laugh at what I called the boarding vultures: people who would park themselves at the gate 20 minutes before boarding even started.. and usually were people who weren’t supposed to board until later in the process and were just generally in the way of those who are boarding, as well as those who couldn’t be bothered to check their luggage so wanted early access to the bin space. Folks, just take a seat, be comfortable. They will call your seating section. Or you could just (gasp) actually check your baggage, and then you don’t have to worry about finding space in the bin. OR just actually use the space in front of your seat. Your luggage will make it with you. In 18 years of flying nearly every week, my luggage went elsewhere maybe twice. Do the math.

Southwest Airlines

Mooo-ooo!

And please put your carry-on in the overhead bin near your seat, not in one up front.

looks like a typical morning or evening on a tokyo commuter train…
