Traveling isn't worth the hassle. The now over-priced seats suck as airlines sardine everyone together. There is no guaranteed reservations as they are quick to remove you or reassign your seat to someone else without warning. The lines at TSA are a horrific waste of time. My memories of flying date back to the 60's and 70's. Other than the smoking on the plane, it was always a good experience. Now, unless I am flying in a private jet, which will never be a thing for me, I would rather stay home.
