Subjunctive posted:yeah, I did the same YYZ<->SFO flight pair about 20 times in one year and I knew I had to reconsider my life choices when the flight crew started greeting me by name as I boarded the most depressing thing ive ever seen, twice, was on united flights where someone gets on the intercom and congratulates Sharon in seat 4B for traveling their millionth mile and asks the cabin to applaud the achievement. then a couple of the crew head over and do small talk with them for 15 minutes or so until its all over ive "only" been flying once a quarter, but the flights are long and expensive, so ive now ended up banking star alliance gold for a few years as a "perk". but airline status itself is kinda pointless since it only serves to slightly lessen the pain when you're doing something that's fundamentally miserable

lol i loved travelling for work. lounges are great and i enjoy flying but getting that would fill me with the same sort of inherently wrong grey that i got when i was working retail between layoffs and got a pin for being there for a year lmao (i had kept working on weekends when i went back to keep the discount)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ laugh all you want. i grew up in an isolated, rural community. flying was something people on tv did, like getting pizza delivered or going to the mall never got old for me even if i despise customs

lounges are great, flying is great when it's not too long, suddenly being in a place far away from where you departed is great customs sucks, security sucks, sitting in an airport when you're not in a decent lounge sucks in conclusion air travel is a land of contrasts

lounges are alright for the free booze but the food is rarely amazing, it's just ok because it's free. theyre often overcrowded during the day in most airports around the world glorifying business travel is pretty lol though, unless they're flying you around in business class love being packed like a sardine in economy class to be able to attend meetings in other cities/countries, and then retire for the night eating a dinner that does not exceed the expense cap to then rest my head in the chain hotel that met the company travel expense guidelines to be ready for a mediocre breakfast and then more meetings

a sales person taught me that u can go out in a group of like, 4 coworkers or w/e at a trade show and if your expense limit is say, $50 a meal. you can spend $100 each, and everyone writes down on their expense report that u paid the bill for you plus the guy sitting to your right. finance wont cross check to that level of detail

fart simpson posted:which is the most useless thing a person can do sounds cool, though I landed and i'm in osaka after like 2 days of trains [mile 0 posting club?] but i like the theme of the thread being only airplane posts at high altitude so i'll try to post an update after a few weeks when i fly back I solved a couple project euler problems on the flight but i only got to like #5. weirdly i remembered the first digit of a few of them from doing it like 10 years ago. i thought they were supposed to activate some broader theme if you do enough of them but i never really 'got it'. euler to me is always going to be a graph theory guy. I got my nephews and nieces really into "how many times can you cross the bridge" at a thanksgiving a few years ago. I hadn't seen the Numberphile video with the Klein bottle guy doing that with pillows and blankets but it was fun to see. i do not intend to redeem the roughly $14 dry cleaning ticket/incident report for ”スウェウトパンツ”[sic?]

one kinda neat thing about it is b/c its in blender you can get visualizations for "free" on some of the problems where that makes sense. like #19, which is about counting how many sundays fall on the first day of a month in the 20th century
