My airline mechanic husband pointed to a Southwest Airlines ad and said you can thank those people because they’re the ones who started the cheap fare thing then quality went downhill to compete.

They are actually the better of the lower cost airlines 😕 Spirit and Frontier and Allegiant are much worse. Along with Easyjet and Ryanair in Europe. OTOH, for short trips, I don’t really care about comfort that much. 1-2 hour flights are not a big deal. Of course I always care about safety but I don’t need a bunch of extras for a short direct flight. International and longer domestic flights are the ones where I really notice the difference. They’re pathetic compared to what they used to be. The only improvement is the individual screen on the seat back. Those big screens at the front were impossible to see for short people and kids 😛

....but everyone was transfixed, remember? I haven't flown since maybe '98. I guess I'd get a rather rude awakening.

I wasn’t, because I could never see the screen, however much I might squirm and crane my neck 😕
