Great piece Scott. Laughed out loud. Confirms why I would rather swim, walk or crawl these days rather than fly...but being from Australia, those long haulers are impossible to avoid...I am destined to be always one of that cast of misfits that populate every flight, giving cause to ponder how humanity ever made it this far and questioning my sanity for actually choosing to do this...again...

Oh yes, if you're traveling from Australia, they are definitely unavoidable. Cheers to the misfits, may they always keep us entertained.

This was brilliant, and so accurate that it brought back everything I so hate about long haul flying.

Thanks, Sophie (but sorry to do that to you, as well).

You nailed it -- from start to finish.

Thanks Jeanine

So funny, and so spot on. As someone who overindulges on wine on flights, I could think of something along those lines to add but I'd only be embarrassing myself 😂

It happens to the best of us, but it would definitely be at home in the piece and as a persona on the passenger manifest.
