Lifestyle Anyone else absolutely hate flying?

No idea what that is sir.@Wild You hanging out at Offutt?
That is the Air Force base home of our strategic air command to a degree.
Reconnaissance central.
I believe that's what he's referring to.
You in Nebraska?
It's the worst. Rude ass people. Sitting around for hours. Constant delays. Idiots standing up as soon as the plane lands - where the fuck you gonna go jackwagon?
If I can drive there in 10 hours, I'm driving. By the time you factor in all the bullshit (arriving early, delays, shuttles, securing rental car) flying doesn't save that much time.
Work made me fly to Chicago recently. That is like a 5 hour drive for me. They insisted I fly. 100% took up more of my time doing that - and the flight home was delayed so it was more like 7 hours for a flight in which I spent less than an hour in the air. Should have trusted my gut, rented a car and just drove home.
I've flown private 1 time. That's the shit. Limited security check. You arrive like 15 minutes before your actual flight. All the seats are first class, and from touch-down to getting off the plane it's like 5 minutes. That's a win.

What was you doing in the middle east?
No issues flying. Now all the assholes. That's the real problem.
I also hate it. I'm a big guy over 6 feet and def not skinny.
I also can't sleep on a plane no matter what time the flight is or how long goes. Once spent a connecting flight from Hawaii to Chicago just staring at the back of the seat in front of me for hours.

I love it!! You’re flying and that’s an awesome thing to do!
I’ll lean my seat way back into the guy’s knees behind me.
‘I’ll talk to the person next to me about mundane family drama!
I’ll bring my own food on the flight and make quite a bit of noise opening it up!
I’ll laugh loud and heartily at the Madea movies I downloaded for the flight!
Flying is a wonderful experience.

Just basic office work, honestly. I worked for KBR in Iraq during the second Gulf War.
Not a huge fan but the airport itself doesn't really bother me so much. It's pretty chill. TSA is worse than security in almost every other country. Basically everywhere in Europe you can go from entrance to your gate in 5-10 minutes. So I can understand why you Americans hate that experience a lot more than we would.
Flying sucks though. Tight space, shit food, Tiny smelly toilets. I can't sleep on flights either.
I'd rather take a train than fly, I hate driving over 4 hours though that's also super uncomfortable.

I dig airports. I'm indifferent on Flying. Of course I like some elbow room but I can usually get some sleep.
One thing that's changed, is for cross country flights, I like a connection to break it up
I'll drive pretty far to avoid it though, because I love the open road
Well, scheduled to depart Omaha in an hour. I must say, their security process was the best I’ve experienced in a while. Hope my connection at Chicago holds up and I get home as planned. Booked seats in totally open rows. Hoping no one has booked beside me in the past 4 hrs.
lol...that's me
But I have a really bad back, and I'm not trying to go anywhere, I just need to stand up due to the physical torture I've been in for the last couple of hours.
Hence why I avoid flying at all costs.
So standing up half hunched over is better?
Haha
