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.

Try doing a longhaul flight in restrictive clothing. IT WOULD BE MISERABLE.

Last time we went to Taiwan and this is how it went.

Leg 1: NYC to Singapore. Longest flight in the world clocking in at about 19 hours nonstop. What happens after we board? Uh, part broken, flight delay for 4 hours while we sit on tarmac. Because of flight delay, crew times out and we have to wait 1.25 more hours for new crew to arrive. Total transit time on the frost leg alone was almost 24 hours straight in the same plane and in the same small seat.

Leg 2: Land in Singapore, but because of long delay, miss connection and need to wait 8 hours. Catch flight to Taipei. Flight time about 4.5 hiurs.

Total transit time = 37 hours, and that isnt even counting the time it took to take the train to the airport to in NY.

Yeah, kiss my ass if you think ill be traveling in a suit or nicer clothing for a 37 hour total transit. The only reason I kept my sanity was because of sweat pants and a hoodie.

It’s another $100 to check a bag. If airlines really wanted to solve this problem, they could do it.

The worst are the people who try to gate-check their luggage. They hang back until the bins are full, or they deliberately bring a bag that’s slightly too big for the overhead bin - oops! - in hopes that the airline will check it for free. Some airlines are wising up to this and starting to charge fees.

new poster here.

I've literally never seen that. Most people (in my experience) are very reluctant to gate check their luggage. They've dragged it all the way through security, cramming it into the small restroom stalls, etc. By gate checking it, they lose the one advantage (not having to wait and baggage claim after they land.)
