Air Law 22

It's been almost 5 years since we revisited our Air Laws series (if you want to relive the first 21 Laws, click HERE and move forward through the rerun).

For the uninitiated, Air Laws was our (tongue firmly in cheek) attempt to bring back civility to air travel. And events of this past weekend have encouraged us to jump back into the fray and issue our next edict. Our friend, Berkeley Young, picks up the story:

"Two women running (and I mean running) through the airport. They are lugging massive Gucci and Louis Vouitton shopping bags. They stop just shy of the gate area and unfold walking canes! And then, they hobble up to the gate and tell the agent they need to board early because they are in need of assistance (code for “we need to fill the overhead bins with our massive shipping bags”). And, they each brought on four huge bags."

 

Our friend Amir Eylon authored the following Air Law (with our extreme gratitude):

Air Law 22: Any passengers caught faking challenges or disabilities in order to score pre-board status will have their bags checked to the carousel and be re-seated next to the lavatory with the broken door that does not latch properly, thus airing that special aroma in their general direction for the duration of the (hopefully) multi-hour flight.

Yep...as we get back to traveling and are forced to endure narcissists and clueless rookies, it's time to revive Air Laws.

I love all of your Air laws. Can you add one for those trapped at airports for long periods of time? If you see me working out at an airport, please know I have been trapped at this airport for far too long and do not judge. "I've been in far too long, I'm an institution person now." Squats and lunges are all I have keeping me sane.

I would never judge you, Beth ;)

Somehow, I didn't miss "narcissists and clueless rookies" during covid shut down. Let the games begin...again!
