Not expecting a runway show, but don’t make me look at your lack of time at the gym. Crickey!!!

Though I hate people that dresses in flights as if they were going to the gym, I understand them. Nevertheless any of this is by no means an excuse to be unpolite. Great blog by the way. Regards, S.

But it is also the fact the air travel today is equal to what bus travel was in the past. They treat everyone like a criminal, cram us into dirty airplanes, don't even feed us anymore, and then miss or cancel flights. If the experience was nicer, people might feel guilty looking like slobs and behaving like hooligans. Great blog BTW.

There is a Facebook group called "What Happened to Dressing Up on Airplanes?" Indeed.

I'm all for a well-packed trunk and a well-dressed crowd on a beautiful train…
