Last week I went back house for multiple mornings to see my sibling for the first time in a year and a half… For that amount of time, he has been residing in the Ukraine. He has not been back house to visit, and I have not been able to afford a plane ticket to go see him. He actually does not make it a priority to come back and see anybody, because he hates the air travel in between the two locations. He says that the plane ride is so annoyed that he would rather just stay there all the time. I decided to ask him why the plane was so uncomfortable and he was more than glad to tell me all about it. Not only is there the overwhelming sense of being trapped for 12 hours, but also all of the inconsiderate human laying around you. He then went on to talk about how terrible the on-board heating and cooling systems are for economy passengers. He said the plane is seriously stagnant feeling and the air smells truly stale from the moment you step on board, however once you start flying, the airflow does not improve. Every passenger is offered a single AC vent that they can generally aim towards their face. There’s no occasion for added heating power if you were frigid or your neighbors AC outlet was blowing on you, you can only add more frigid air to your environment, without added freshness or heat. He said this made the trip especially annoyed. At this point, I stopped him. There’s nothing I hate more than being frigid and laying in a draft. If it was me, I would not want to shiver for a 12 hour plane ride either.
