       It's actually kinda funny how customs officials line up like vultures when a number of legacy carrier flights arrive. And of course, they had to steal 5 minutes of my life.

       @naruciakk Yeah, TIL that's the industry term for them.For a noob like me it sounds like another instance of "I don't like $X therefore I will call it objectively obsolete", glad to hear it's not.

       @wolf480pl @naruciakk the difference in service is getting thin these days, and it's the normal carriers that are getting worse - during my last flight with Swiss they only gave us water and everything else had, well, Swiss prices; KLM is a little better, but not by much; prices are similar and have gone up drastically for all EU destinations lately (probably the green insanity), some want to charge you for checked luggage (and then complain the airplane is full and offer to store your cabin luggage in the cargo bay "for free" - fuck off, if I have a bag in the cabin it means I either have things that can break in it, or I am on a tight schedule)The only major difference is that I expect the normal carrier to not cancel the flight without notice, like wizz did the last time I used them; this kinda counts, a lot...

       I mean, I had like 4 pieces of luggage: one huge suitcase, two large backpacks, and a large Don't Quijote bag. But still.
