#12On the topic of tickets, I've kept a plane ticket from the year 2000, and it's a bit amazing that a decade or so after needing to go a travel agency and getting a booklet (plane tickets back then had a page for each leg, usually a back cover and maybe a front cover), I can just use my phone to go to the airline's website (or a price comparison site), buy a ticket, do online check-in, and just load up the barcode to board the plane...

#13Potentially interesting, but it was hard to read. The author needs to do a thorough proofread of this post, and potentially some editing.
The book is like that too. Actually a fantastic read and a highly recommended portal into the dawn of modernity, but jeez it could use some editing.

Not nowadays, you need pages of printed crap for many long haul, online checkin is disabled for nearly all airlines or does a 'collect boarding pass at checkin' - i.e. the same as normal checkin, and you are checked again and again.. I flew the other day from Europe to Sri Lanka, it was certainly easier in 2000. The problem is it seems this fear is eternal, the section of society that fear (sf libs) will keep this charade going - can i see proof of your fifth booster please, pcr test within 72 hrs even though you spent last two evening in nightclubs unmasked, 14 day travel histoey, covid specific insurance, and so on and so on

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
And finish it - the journey so far seems to be from the yard to the road!
This post is a teaser that ends with a call to action to buy their book about stagecoaches.
Not very good teaser, no "the story continues in my book..."
And if this is the standard of the book there's big problems
