Imagine trying to get out of Sydney and the sinking feeling as you descend through the clouds, the skyline comes into view and you realise you never left

    They should just go all out and have it be a hijacking dinner theater. Then the plane lands on the tarmac and sits there for six hours while the "hijackers" negotiate and then a "counter terror unit" storms the planes with paint rounds and liberates the hostages, and then they get to go down the inflatable slide.

    Imagine flying for the sake of flying

    The sole reason to put up with the claustrophobic hell that is air travel is to get somewhere you actually want to be

      My uncle had an airplane where he threw crazy parties like that, but sadly he committed suicide a year ago.

      Except you can enjoy the fun of that on the ground.

      Honestly a restaurant/bar in an old airplane parked at one of those tiny airports seems like it would be fun lol.

        They have one of those here in LA I think. It's an old panam plane and it's supposed to be themed like golden age of air travel, the meals are gourmet airline food, waitresses dressed as stewardesses, etc

          That sounds very LA lol, I went to so many weird places when I lived there. I recall a bar where you enter through an old fridge among other kitchy shit.

    That shit should be fucking illegal. Polluting the air for the fun of it, without any use value

    I don't think I can believe this. I mean sure, it probably happened, but I can't actually process the fact that I share a planet with 100 people in it who were willing to pay that much money to fly on a commercial airliner for 7 hours in a great big circle. I just can't fit that in my brain this early in the morning.

        It does, yeah. But for that much money you could get a nice hotel room, drinks, decent food etc. And still flex on the poor but for longer while having more fun.

        Fuckers can't even lord it over us efficiently.

    When you or I go to a McDonald's: "Mmmmmmmm yummy cheeseburger"

    When a considerable amount of people go to McDonald's: "Yes! Serve me! I need to be served. It is the only joy I feel. I get no pleasure through sensation. I hope your boss doesn't pay you enough to afford your own food."

    Not to promote eugenics but the people that bought a ticket for that ought to be euthanized.

    Even if this wasn't absoultely idiotic, even if this wasn't needlessly destroying tbe environment even more, even if it wasn't risking more spread of disease, who the actual fuck wants to be stuck in a shitty commercial plane??? Being in a plane is something you have to do because some places aren't connected by rail or road or boats take too long; actually choosing to be in a plane is so gods damned dumb
