I am delighted to find in Mark Steel in todays English Independent someone who detests the modern experience of flying as much as I do.
I am absolutely convinced that all the queueing, the restrictions,the weigh-ins, the scannings and more queueings, and the interminable waiting, again usually standing up and queueing are perfectly dispensable and someone with a little sense could make the experience of flying bearable, like it used to be.
Like Mark Steel says;
“If Casablanca was made now, it would end with Ingrid Bergman waving off Humphery Bogart, then sitting on her bags at the back of a 40-minute queue at check-in while Paul Henreid waited 25 minutes for two lattes at Costa Coffee.”
