My Thoughts on Thanksgiving Travel Delays

My Thoughts on Thanksgiving Travel Delays:

If you are taking a commercial flight in the several days before or after Thanksgiving, then you have forfeited your right to complain about travel delays.

We go through this every year. I’m sick of seeing the same story every year.

There is one positive, though, about all of the lame coverage that these flight delays attract: It makes me feel smart. Every single person I see on TV complaining about flight delays must be stupid if they didn’t know delays were to be expected. And since those who complain as they wait for their flight are stupid, I must, by default, be very, very smart, since I am not waiting for a flight during one of the best known periods of the worst flight delays all year.

It feels so good to be right. There is nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
