these guys used to be daring adventurers with goggles and swag and now the pilots have to wear a button down and the airlines squeeze every penny out of you and every drop of fun or joy or magic or adventure out of the experience.
in the 20s it was a great adventure! in the 60s people wore suits and got proper meals! now we just get xrayed and told we can’t bring in water! i love starting my vacation being treated as a terrorist!
American who visited Germany last year:
The DB was insanely good compared to what we get. The app even worked! The twins even arrived generally when they were supposed to!
Damn, this makes me dread ever taking a train in the US. 😅
