Dont forget United DLC:

Watch your pet get killed on the tarmac

Pay $15 for garbage lunch

Fight Club Mode: get tazed and beaten by the police for having the audacity to sit in your seat.

Please don't use code formatting for text you'd like people to read - it makes the text unreadable on mobile

Someone really needs to fix the thing where it's impossible to post single-spaced lists without using code formatting. What is that even for?

- Works

- for

- me.

Just put a blank line after each item.

That's not single-spaced, but it is better than code font and formatting.

The issue is that long lines don't wrap into paragraphs as is done normally with quotes. Instead they extend far beyond the width of the mobile display, making them unreadable

> Just put a blank line after each item.

...That would be "double-spaced."

- Passenger next to you spills over into your space

- Passenger in front of you reclines seat

- Player is taller than average or inconveniently sized

- All passengers near you are young children.

- With emotional support rabid wolverines.

This goes well with the “air steward breakdown” DLC, I gather, and together provide a fulfilling and cathartic experience in which the children who just pushed over the drinks trolley get jettisoned at 45,000 feet.

> Passenger in front of you reclines seat

To this day, I fail to understand why airplane seats recline at all, much less as far as some of them do.

On my last Delta (international) flight, the person in front of me managed to recline so far back that her hair was directly in my line of sight. She wouldn't even put up the seat for when meals were served and then she got mad at me for "breathing in" her hair.

At least I got quite lucky and the seat next to me was vacant so I could use the tray table behind the other seat whose occupant didn't recline once the whole flight.

Couldn't you just move over if the adjacent seat was empty?

But yes, airplane seats reclining always seemed to be some kind of holdover from the days when there was plenty of room between rows. It probably should have been done away with at some point, but likely was never quite worth changing.

I could have, for sure, but I am broad of shoulder and 90% of the reason why I get a window seat is to not get whacked by the carts going up and down the aisle 7,308 times per flight (not to mention the other passengers). So I stayed put and just angled to my right a bit. It worked out in the end.

Hopefully I have another empty seat next to me on my return flight. That would be amazing.

-Watch from window as your luggage is loaded onto wrong plane \n that must be worse than heartbreak

Force-feedback seat back.
