What did we do before Flyer Talk?
I'm always bemused by posts asking what menu is one such and such a flight, what seat version will I get etc.
Wasn't there a time when we didn't have access to this information?
I remember you booked your flight, you got your seat allocation at the airport, and you'd "eat what you're given"*
Have we become spoiled?
Are we more demanding?
As a travel agent, we used to have ABC Guides to accommodation which gave you the "honest truth". Then TripAdvisor game along and you can now read reviews and work out which are real or not etc.
Also, despite having all these resources, has travelling become easier or better?
Have we lost some of the pleasure of flying -dare I say... magic- by knowing exactly what food we will be served, and what seat to expect?
*What my mum said when I asked what was for dinner. Either than or "stewed bugs and onions"
