I don't know what is so comfy about airports and airplanes, someone explain it to me
>people watching at airport
>the plane ride itself
Aside this, I was just wondering how to achieve maximum comfiness whilst in the airport and airplane.
>airports and airplanes
>comfy
Do you have access to private lounges and fly first class or are you a masochist?
I think it's because you don't have any responsibilities when you're flying

I think it's cus you feel like you have a purpose while you're there and a reason for being there, but you don't have to really do anything (besides checking in and security and whatnot). Everyone is supposed to be there and in transit and too busy to judge you. You know you're leaving whatever it is behind you and going onto new things. Whatever is on your mind cannot weigh you down because you're leaving. And >>1232205
To make plane ride more comfy, bring a good book, phone or iPod with music. Drink a little bit. Don't worry about anything and just chill. Also get a window seat so you don't have to get up for anyone.
I'll agree that people watching at airports is neat and that if things go well; you are left alone for hours on a plane to an entire row/first class seat disconnected from the world and everybody's bullshit.
That being said normally you have to put up with a lot of bullshit at airports and especially so on a flight with other passengers.
Ultimately all you can do is hang back and try to relax.
iPad with movies on it and a few games, window seat, headphones.
Personally I don't find flights all that comfy, for me it's luxury buses and trains (not in the US).

Not him, but it's expensive, slow, and generally late as fuck

but the views from the window tho
I don't think it's comfy at all, once it becomes something you do a lot.
The first few times you fly it might feel cool and different, but I fly dozens of times a year and now it's just an inconvenience to endure. The dehumanizing TSA process, the inevitable flight delays, the smaller and smaller coach seats, I can't fucking wait to get out of the plane or the airport.

I love it because every time I've been to an airport is associated with either the potential of a new trip or the satisfaction of a finished one and a tinge of homesickness.
I wear my comfiest clothes, get there a bit early, have some overpriced coffee, watch the people go by, daydream about visiting all the cities on the departure and arrival boards, then settle in for a nice flight. Sure, 14 hour flights get old, but I've never understood hating flying in general
