We’ve got Global Entry for the security lines. We’re bringing carry-on luggage only, which means lots of highly strategic clothing choices and requires stuffing our sunscreen in a funny little bottle. Securing a decent fare and the most direct route on our preferred dates required weeks of planning, as well as the talents of a brilliant travel agent. These days, many people who fly often or even just occasionally must be wondering: When did flying get like this? And why? And how could it possibly get any worse?

On the way, you’ll learn about the “JetBlue Effect” and its power over the industry. You’ll also come to understand why “the experience of arriving at your hotel is so much better than the experience of flying to your destination.” In the meantime: the good news? There are many advice sites on the internet that will gladly show you how to squeeze two-weeks worth of vacation items into your carry-on luggage.
