   Once every two years or so I decide I’ll fly somewhere and without fail it’s an experience that does a perfect job of reminding me why I take the train everywhere even if it takes 12 hours longer sometimes

   Two years ago: plane pulled up at wrong gate. Checked luggage went into wrong baggage handling company. Stuck at baggage collection for an hour. Today: security scanner jammed and ate my coat for an hour.

   Fortunately the plane is half an hour late so I’m not dealing with “I missed my flight” frustration

     Even the worst DB performance has been far far superior to the vast majority of my flight experiences

     My flight is one hour delayed because BER only has one wheelchair ramp for disembarking and it was busy when the plane arrived. Incredible.

     To be fair to the flying experience, perhaps mine would be substantially less crap if my local airport weren’t the one who’s construction process was so incompetent there’s a board game about not building it

     @erincandescent Well… can't be worse than Paris Charles-de-Gaule right? (I'll probably forever avoid Paris)
