Yeah good plan, I'll drive or take a plane across the ocean for my next vacation. Not every trip can be taken by land and many that can are extremely long and or slow.
Okay, heres the thing. You're stuck in a giant tube in the sky for hours. I get people will be bored from lack of anything to do. Hell this post isn't even about that. Its about how we keep clinging to old standards that made sense at the time that are honestly just kinda dumb now.
If I know I'll be on a flight that's longer than, say, 2 hours, I'll make sure to bring enough entertainment (movies, TV games, books, downloaded internet articles, whatever) to last me the whole trip in case I can't sleep.
Whoever is too dumb to do that should just suffer.
