Dress in your good clothes and work up a sweat while you wait for your delayed flight. And when you are able to finally squeeze into a tiny seat like a sardine you can share your stench with your seatmates. That will totally improve the overall experience.
Airplane dress and airport exercise opportunities are the most important transportation issues facing us. Well, actually not. Philip Bump writes:
It remains the case that a good way to learn how people feel about things is to ask them. So you don’t have to simply assume, say, that people are hankering to work up a sweat before hopping onto a six-hour flight or that they think the central failure of the airline industry can be summarized as “sweatpants.” You can just contact a bunch of people over the phone and online and ask them to tell you what it is that they are concerned about.
Which is what YouGov did. And what they found is probably not surprising: The things that people find most annoying about flying are prices, delays and discomfort.
In fact, more than 6 in 10 Americans pointed to ticket prices as a major problem with flying. Half said the same of cramped seats, delays, hidden fees, and staffing shortages (which, of course, lead to delays). And waaaaaaaaaaay at the bottom of the list came “passengers dressing too casually,” which only 8 percent of respondents described as a major problem.
Nobody voted for what they’re selling.
