It seems that over the years, flying has become more and more uncomfortable.  There seems to be less leg room on far too many flights. Ten years ago, I couldn’t stretch out, but now I barely have room to fit my legs in front of me. The size of the seats themselves seem to be smaller as well.  Actually, it depends on the airline. United airlines have terrible seating with no room to move. I avoid United as much as I can. On the other hand, Air Canada has more spacious seating and many flights have an amaaaazing entertainment center for every single passenger.

Also, it doesn’t help that food is rarely served on a flight anymore. You used to get a meal on the plane, which would help pass the time, and take your mind off of things.  Nowadays, you’re lucky to get a bag of peanuts.

In the early days, decades ago airlines really wanted your business and offered many complimentary perks to get you interested. These days, everyone wants to fly but the perks cost money. That Subway sandwich will cost you a few bucks, as will extra baggage, and other things we gotten used to.

The security checks, well, I digress on that for now.
