Agreed BEagle.
I've no quibble at all with everyone enjoying the benefits of travel where they previously couldn't (me included), but I wonder whether the 'herd mentality' and the fact that air travel is so crowded and mundane now is partly because that's how we treat it ourselves.
It's all about pride, lack of personal respect etc. What would happen if people did start dressing smartly for air travel, even on the LCC's, or even walking into town come to that? i.e. treated it as something they enjoyed the experience of and felt good about. Generally people like an excuse to dress-up (nights out, weddings, family gatherings) and IMHO actually enjoy doing so. In our glum, stressed times, would it be something to give us some cheer?
So, as a hypothetical social experiment, if people re-awakened their pride and dress-sense, and despite the crowds in airports/airlines, what would happen to air travel? Would it start to become enjoyable again?
