“Welcome to Town, USA! Please stay seated till the aircraft has parked at the gate, the temperature outside is 69 Freedom Degrees, the local time is 6:19 PM so good luck leaving the airport with any amount of haste and no there isn’t an air-rail link, we thank you for flying with us, enjoy spending almost as much time in traffic as you did on the plane!”

      Not just car rentals, it feels like the whole travel industry has no idea what a fucking reservation is. Every other time I fly they’re asking for people to give up seats because they “overbooked”.

      Just a tiny amount of common sense legislation would make reservations actually fucking work, but it’ll never happen because all the travel companies have to do is spend like $50k to bribe lobby half of congress and then make millions continuing on with their shitty practices
