TRAVEL STRUGGLES

A quiet war unfolds at the boarding gates, where travelers, desperate for a sliver of advantage, resort to tactics that skirt the edge of absurdity. This battle over boarding isn't just about securing a spot on the plane; it's deeply rooted in a dance of anxiety, driven by the fear of missing out on precious overhead bin space, and the eagerness to begin their journeys. As this scramble for early boarding plays out, the raw edges of human nature are exposed—cunning, desperation, and perhaps a touch of genius. It paints a vivid tableau of our collective quest for control and comfort on the unpredictable journey of life.

Airline passengers are cutting in line when they board. It’s time to stop!
