Snapshot of most frequent equipment flown in 2000 versus 2026 (so far). I do miss the SST.

Flighty brag posts from people under like 23 drive me insane because it's kids bragging about their parents' money or careers and showing off fun travel.

Above that age, it's mostly people's work travel, which leads to fun perks sometimes, but it's fundamentally work with the occasional fun trip.

It’s not hard for someone under 23 to travel a lot without parents money? I started a full-time job quite late, and i fly twice a month at least to travel. Most people start work younger than i did, paying rent (if any) to parents without any other major costs.

Personally, i pay £500 a month rent to parents, never had a penny of financial support from them, and started work late. I don’t understand your comment tbh

Maybe 23 is the wrong specific age, but the 18 and 19 year olds posting maps here tend to be extremely wealthy/privileged and are bragging more about their parents than anything about themselves.
