I can remember when the thought of taking a flight on a big jetliner was simply thrilling.

I’m not even talking about childhood memories.

Air travel was so cool for me my whole life up until a decade or so ago. Now, having to get on a plane for a contractor trip is just a big drag. Unfortunately, most of my contractor is too far away from my beach beach house to allow me to drive. If I could drive, I legitimately would. The thing with traveling by plane is that it has become just one hassle after another. To make matters worse, the Heating and Air Conditioning in airports and on the planes themselves only add discomfort to hassle. That isn’t the best equation for a superb afternoon. The getting bumped or having a flight cancelled is made worse by the inconsistent temps at the airport. The main part of the airport is always too hot and I end up sweltering while lining up for check in. It only gets worse as the next line up for security checks is even longer. I’m standing there with limited ability to shed layers so, I just suffer. However, as soon as you get to the gate area, it’s enjoy a fridge. I haven’t been able to figure out the logic there despite the fact that I suppose this must be intentional. Of course once you’re herded into the tiny seats, the dripping with sweat begins again. I swear the Heating and Air Conditioning on jetliners was never designed to cool a space with so several people in it. It’s no wonder why I have to travel at least a afternoon early just so I can reuse to be coherent for business.
