box-o asked:
Why are so many people on air travel copeium ? Recently I flew for the first time and it's awful ! The plane was about the length of 2 superliner cars but it certainly did not have the superliner space or padding, I felt like I was sitting on a rock the whole flight and the turbulence is worse than the gentle comfortable movements of a train, the food on the plane was awful even the almonds I had tasted funny train food is so much better, AND the security and gates and boarding and unloading on planes is so confusing and annoying and I hate it why is it the standard for travel across the US 😭😭😭😭

The reason it’s the standard is it is slightly faster, and somewhat cheaper. Also just we aren’t able to do all of the connections that planes do. Additionally planes get subsidies constantly, we do not
