People sometimes make reference to the golden age of flying. I'm enough of a grey beard to remember actual silverware in planes. Like an actual metal knife in the plane with your food that you could use to stab the smoker immediately behind you in the "smoking isle". The thing is that, flying was way more expensive. Flying now you need to sniff someone's armpit for hours, listening to some woman giving birth and having some barefoot hog eating KFC in the plane tickle you with their green toe nails between the seats. What flying age is this? That said, last time I flew, it was with KLM and geez those people were nice. Kudos. Edit: The green is not nail polish.
