But I've read reports of people becoming ill, people describing the situation as subhuman, etc. I think the expectations of passengers need a major readjust. If you're getting on a flight, no matter how short, you should be prepared to be on that plane for five or six times the flight's duration (obviously not if it's a long haul). Bring plenty of stuff to keep you entertained and just resign yourself that you are in a situation that you cannot control. This is the emotional part that people just don't get. It causes anxiety, and in my experience, pretty childish behavior in my fellow passengers. And if being on a plane for 10 hours will make you sick, then you really shouldn't be flying, should you? Oh, I don't work for the airlines, I'm just a frequent flyer who gets delayed a lot and just f**king deals.</p>
