Business Travel Makes Me Long for Zoom Meetings
Here’s a piece of advice for people who plan to fly in the near future, — don’t. I had to take a supposedly short flight from Ontario, Calif. to Sacramento, Calif. for a one-day convention and it was a nightmare. Put it this way, it had me believing in purgatory and I’m an atheist.
Purgatory is a good description for the modern American airport. In your average airport experience, you’re going to encounter delayed flights, overcrowded waiting areas, invasive body searches and prices that seem like Jabba the Hutt set them.
Gouged Worse Than Samson
For example, I paid $17 for a very average chicken sandwich and $4.40 for a bottle of water. (You can buy a whole pack for that back home.)
My first mistake was flying American Airlines. Nothing about this airline seems professional. My first experience with American was so bad, that if I ever see their name again, I will run in the opposite direction faster than former President Donald Trump runs from indictments.
