In reply to the discussion: Why planes are extremely gross right now [View all]FakeNoose
(34,791 posts)32. First mistake was, she should have driven to Maine to pick up her kids
Kids come home from summer camp with lots of STUFF. Besides suitcases and backpacks, they have souvenirs and handmade projects of different kinds. It's really difficult taking all that stuff home on an airplane.
Should have driven a car, or even rented a van and picked up your kids.
Also a cross-country drive allows you to spend more time talking with your kids, hearing their stories, having conversations. Stop and see Niagara Falls on the way home or some other sightseeing. It's time to be together as a family. That doesn't happen on a plane ride.
This woman missed a wonderful opportunity to be with her kids. Instead we have to hear about her barfy flight on a fully-booked plane.

DU loves anything that negatively sensationalizes the air travel industry or movie theaters.

This so much the case for The Curse of Oak Island that they put it on their merch.
