I feel like flying was at its best back in the 90s or something. Or that might just be because I was a child back then and did not have to deal with all the bullshit. Train travel has so much potential to be better than flying.
It was definitely better: We had real dishes, forks, spoons and knives made of metal, bigger seats, real food. You had not to pay extra for every breath you take.
Only one thing was worse: smoking cabins were a thing back then. I remember sitting between two old guys smoking as a child. That was the worst flight ever 🤢
Fuck airlines. And airports. And air travel. And the captured regulatory bodies that are supposed to have our backs.

It was also way more expensive. Don’t forget you paid for that food and the seats. Today you have a choice.
