I love flying. Always had the bug, and I think my kids inherited it, too

If I have one regret - I wish air travel was as simple as it used to be. I enjoy telling kids how great air travel was before (boy, do I sound like an old timer?)

- no id check
- none of these silly "did you pack your own luggage?" games
- no metal detectors
- no "size-wise" luggage restrictions
- boarding passes issued at time of reservation, both ways.
Am I the only one longing for those days?
