Work takes me all over the world. Not my money, not my problem.

If it’s not your money, then your high airline status isn’t the flex you think it is.

It most certainly is or you wouldn’t be working so hard to invalidate it.

Sorry, nobody’s giving you cookies for your stolen valor, no matter how hard you try.

If your strategy is giving airlines less money based on lack of comfort then I’m your woman. I spend the same amount of my discretionary income on flights as you do. While you sit in your PJs waiting with the rest of the gate lice I’m in the airline lounge until it’s time to board first and settle into my spacious, comfy seat. You should applaud that I over index on comfort vs. cost.

“Gate lice” are people who are so anxious to board first, they shove ahead of other passengers and behave rudely. Kind of like you. You’d know that if you were such an expert flyer.

You need to be at the gate to be gate lice. I stroll right through. I don’t need to jockey for position.

I don’t understand the urge to board so early. We have assigned seats. Why do I want to sit in that uncomfortable seat longer than I need to?

Overhead luggage space tends to become unavailable the later you board the plane. That's why people try to board sooner than later.

Well people could check their bags and avoid this problem. Pet peeve: people who pack a suitcase too heavy to put in the overhead compartment and must rely on others to do it.

I remember reading a story about some 1960s plane crash maybe in NH where some hikers went up to the site and they were finding decayed, moldy high heeled shoes.

Also some horrible story about a same era crash in the Hawaiian ocean where rescuers eventually found dead people still floating in their very nicely tailored clothes. Not that it would have made a difference, of course, but there's something about the mental image that evokes the thought, "they dressed up for that"

Two memories that stand out for me are people bringing on bags of still warm aromatic fast food and the teenage girls that spent their time using their tray tables to do all their press on nails. THE GLUE omg

I did like sharing a row one time with these two sisters who had to commute cross country between their divorced parents.

They told me they always waited until the parent was gone on either side to use their dad's credit card at the old school news stand places and buy massive amounts of candy and chocolate and teen magazines and stuff like the Enquirer and Star. They shared with me and that was a very cool flight !!!!

Yep.

He doesn't talk about how big the seats were then does he?

Seriously. If he wants passengers to go back to 1960s standards of dress, then he needs to talk to the airlines about going back to the 1960s standards for seat size/leg room and service. Pretty telling he's lecturing us while not saying a thing about the airlines.

You wouldn't fly then. 1960s prices were high. So high that normal people could not afford to fly.

And we wouldn't have videos of spirit airlines shenanigans!

I thought we were supposed to wear heels and button-down shirts to fly?

Does he think people don’t get a cardio workout already, sprinting 400 yards to the gate with luggage and kids in tow?

These are not serious people.

Just what I want, some sweaty guy sitting next to me for 5 hours after he just did a bunch of pull-ups and box jumps in his business suit.

When the comfort in the airlines goes back to 1960, or even the late 1980s when I took my first flight, then we can dress better. Like we did then.

Lounge lady doesn’t have a job with those perks, silly!! She IS the boss! And for a limited time for only a small investment, you too can be part of her downline, running your own business and laughing at the gate lice from the Newark Airport Lounge…

I would like to ban tuna on airplanes.

wut

Not shocked your boss sends you as far away from them as possible as often as they can.

I’m the boss. We have offices all over the world. I’ll be in China in two weeks and India after New Years.

Ok. Congratulations?

Gate lice is more of an attitude than a behavior. We all recognize the type.
