What IS this magical netted pocket? The ones I know scrape off my cuticles when I am reaching in for my phone. Kidding I don’t let go of my phone for long enough to put it in the “pocket”

That pocket gets smaller and smaller along with the seats.

I remember sitting in the boarding area at LAX January 2020 sipping my coffee and everyone was super tense, not many face masks yet but every time someone coughed, people would turn and scoot away, with THAT look in their eye.

Jan 2020 was just the beginning! If there's someone creepy beside you just hack up a lung. It's a sure way to clear the room-- still.

Very strange thoughts run through my head when I pass the First Class passengers. A little envy, but mostly incredulity (why on earth would they spend all that extra money on a plane ticket?). I'm much happier reading your article than I would be actually flying!

I'm with Michael. I don't know how anyone flies without a mask (and survives). Naomi Campbell had it right (even before the pandemic). https://youtu.be/b-U_jT9qWvs?t=145

Hope you had a wonderful time with your family. xo

airport flying stories usually commonplace grist for mill

btw aonther recent film with different attitude but pleasantly greeted even by this decided atheist for its religious message is true story on i think netflix "On a Wing and a Prayer"
