It is just one way the future has failed us, and modern, Western civilization has regressed.  In the past we had more space, free meals, HOTTer stewardesses, and the Muslim terrorists were content with just hijacking the plane.  What good have we gotten since?  At best, smoke-free cabins.

It sometimes costs more to go to the airport than fly.
Service has gone to hell but prices have also became much better

17 extra per leg? You actually can just buy one legs worth?

With most low cost airlines I've encountered you can opt not to pick a seat and they give you a random one. Not possible there?

At least north is up.

At least north is up.

You could argue that in Crusader Kings it should be down, because at the time many maps were printed that way so that you could more easily use the sun to navigate.

Somewhat related to the map I posted the other day.

% of population in risk of falling into poverty, projected by 2020, as researched by a German institute. Map's in Spanish, but I'm sure you get the drill.
