It's people, some maybe on their first flight ever or just on holiday crazee, or the entitled ones pushing others around?
Many levels where I was feeling dumbstruck.
Chill out! Unless actual harm (physically) could be at stake, I will just come along.
Relaxed travels.
Agreed. Go with the flow and adapt as necessary.

I like to keep one on my phone, but also have a paper backup. Either from a printout, or from an agent.

No way I'll take one of those, your contingency is gone. Give me a 2.5 hour layover.
Same here. I'd rather spend an extra hour or two and play it safe, than to risk a miss and waste much more time. Even on the odd chance you make it most of the time, still not worth it to me either.

Definitely. I grabbed a belt that's got a carbon fiber buckle and no metal at all. Use it all the time, and never have to take it off.

Stand right, walk left.
