Is travel really as miserable as people make it out to be? USA Today has a new tally of the top pet peeves of frequent travelers.
Before going into this list, I want to say that I’ve spent weeks on the road on book tour and, as a general rule, I found most airline employees and passengers to be pleasant. I flew coach on just about every airline in the marketplace over the past weeks and months. Only rarely was I lucky enough to be upfront of the plane.
But it looks like I’m nearly alone in my optimistic take on air travel. Here is what bothers travelers most, according to USA Today:
In the end, I think you have to realize that we’re not traveling across country by covered wagon any more, or having to deal with hostile populations and diseases of all kinds during a monthlong trek. We have it good. We get on the plane in one part of the country and get off in another a few hours later. And what we pay is cheaper today than 30 years ago, inflation adjusted. I think that’s a deal!
