nodding off? time for a bright ad with super saturation and lots of brightness variability, they'll strobe you into paying attention.
how much do you have to pay to turn the fucking thing off?
Airlines in America really suck, I feel like we have much better options here in Europe
They do and I won't argue that point. It would fly in the face of everything I have seen. Multiple times I have flown on planes based in 3rd world countries to other 3rd world countries and each and every time it was a more pleasant experience than flying domestic in the US. I mean the whole thing. From being dropped off to the airport, to security, to food in the airport, to the comfort levels of the chairs, to the amount of leg room. All of it was better, all of it.
Plus our border is terrible as well. Last year took my family abroad and when we got back to the US my six year old put her little backpack on the scanner too quickly for the Border Guard liking. So the big manly tough guy screamed at my six year old. She proceeded to cry. I wanted to sock him across the face but not as much as I want to avoid a 20 year prison sentence. Next time I will go all Karen and write a letter to go in his file with his badge number. It will make me feel better but fix nothing.
Yup.
My last flight a year ago was so bad I'm just going to drive from now on. I don't care if I have to take an extra day of PTO.
Time for me to whip out my trusty old Black Sheet'o'Paper and masking tape....
I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.
Never. The whole ad craze is there to milk profits on top of the things you already paid for.
What you are suggesting would actually be a more fair system.
Free with ads or paid with no ads.
Asshole corporations want paid and ads.
