I just don't want to fly anymore.

Who can afford it these days? Groceries alone are over $200 a trip...

[-] beetus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like "grocery trips are $N these days" is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be "my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!"

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

I never liked flying and now have even more reason not to!

I was stuck on a runway in very humid weather. They finally turned the AC on after a couple hours and we started to get condensation dripping on us from the, I'm guessing, never cleaned ceiling.

And that's why I always fly in a thin hoodie now.

Mother fucking inflation

Article says they were coming from a carry-on bag. Someone was pulling a prank or was having a mental break, I guess.

Someone cast Greater Summon Maggots and it just got out of hand.

Rotten fish in a bag in the overhead bin.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The "absolutely gross" situation saw the Delta flight forced to make a U-turn about an hour into the nine-hour trip from Amsterdam to Detroit.

Passengers reported the back of the plane was left teeming with the larvae that it later emerged were emanating from a rotten fish.

The passenger added that one of their carry-on bags was next to the "disgusting" one, and that the suspected culprit was still seated and did not exit the plane at the end of the flight.

"They were all sitting around in the crew area laughing and talking when we had been on the plane for close to three hours with not even water offered," Kelsey said.

Delta - described as a "leader in domestic and international travel" on its website - confirmed rotten fish and maggots were in the bag and apologised to the passengers.

"We apologise to the customers of Flight 133 AMS-DTW as their trip was interrupted due to an improperly packed carry-on bag," the airline told Sky News.


The original article contains 422 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
