He wasn't getting much love from from mothers with kids either.

I think airline flights should work the same as any other freight: pay by the weight and volume.

But some people can't help that they are fat. Even if they take Ozempic (ask a doctor about it today).

US investigates Delta over plane stuck on tarmac in extreme heat

Passengers sat on the un-air conditioned plane waiting to take off in 111F (44C) temperatures.
www.bbc.com

"The flight bound for Atlanta was ultimately cancelled after customers sat in the un-air conditioned plane for three hours."

3 hours from New York to Atlanta? You could fly there and back no? It's just a shade under two hours gate to gate from where I live.
 
She was allowed on the plane? I remember getting off from the US a bit wobbly after a same day trip and forgetting I violated duty free rules so I volunteered to be taxed. Duty agents were more concerned about my state of mental acuity that they just told me to take my cognac and go.

Delta flight makes U-turn over diarrhoea incident

The flight from Atlanta to Barcelona was forced to turn around after a passenger had diarrhoea on board, reports say.
www.bbc.com

"We've had a passenger who's had diarrhoea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta,"

They couldn't lock them in the washroom?

Air Canada passengers kicked off flight for refusing to sit on vomit-covered seats

An Air Canada passenger wrote that two of her fellow travelers were escorted off a plane because they refused to sit in vomit-covered seats that were not properly cleaned.

Because you know for Air Canada the expectation is you sit in vomit.
 
I was always under the impression that economy class air travel was luxurious and looked like this, and people dressed up:

Groundbreaking transatlantic flight using greener fuel takes off

Virgin Atlantic is flying the first big passenger plane using 100% alternative fuels from London to New York.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"So-called sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) can be made from a variety of sources, including crops, household waste and cooking oils.

For this flight, a Boeing 787 has been filled with 50 tonnes of SAF. Two types are being used, with 88% derived from waste fats and the rest from the wastes of corn production in the US.

Planes still emit carbon when using SAF, but the industry says the 'lifecycle emissions' of these fuels can be up to 70% lower.

SAF is already used in small amounts, blended with traditional jet fuel, but accounts for less than 0.1% of the aviation fuel consumed around the world."

Like ethanol.

Southwest Airlines fined $140m for holiday meltdown

The penalty is the heftiest issued on an airline following the delays last winter for two million people.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"The majority of the fine will go towards compensating future Southwest passengers affected by cancellations or delays caused by the airline, while $35m will be paid to the government."

It took $35m for the government to shame them.

Alaska Airlines plane had pressurisation warnings before mid-air blowout

The Boeing plane that had a 'door plug' torn off mid-flight - leaving a gaping hole on the side of the aircraft - had three recent pressurisation warnings. Investigators also say a teacher called Bob has found the missing door plug in his own garden.

I'm actually more amazed that a window seat wasn't taken in..I think it was row 26. I thought planes rarely fly now without it being close to full (as someone who suffered through multiple YYZ-EWR 'cancellations' at the gate).
