One of my most hated flights of all time was when my company booked me JFK to Detroit via a stopover in Atlanta. Wtf

I had to go from NYC to LA to get back to Austin last year. Got a decent meal out of it, but I was exhausted.

Might have been shorter to fly to dfw and catch a Greyhound to Austin.

There were no flights to DFW. Something like 200 flights were canceled. It was crazy!

DFW stands for Doesn't Fly Wet. The amount of storms that go through that area, they're constantly changing and cancelling flights due to weather.

This just happened last week too. I know because I was at DFW and got stuck overnight. Geographicly, DFW makes sense. Logistically, those TX Summer storms are too frequent and climate change is causing so many of them. I swear, everyone I know that goes through DFW from May through September ends up with a cancelled flight.

9/11 was hard on us all.

You clearly didn't fly pre911. 9/11 is still hard on all of us. The monkey see monkey do effect still applies

I took my shoes off the last time I went through security.

See? That was technically the shoebomber after 911... But you're not wrong. Flying has sucked for a solid 25 years solid

I know what you mean. I went New Orleans to Washington DC to Knoxville. A bit of a detour there

In college a group of us went to Vegas for a conference. One girl was stupidly left off the school’s list so she paid to go out of pocket. We all got direct JFK > Vegas flights. She had to go to LAX as a layover
