I also find all the interruptions while you're on the plane itself tedious. Waiting for all the luggage wrangling, the safety briefing, the welcome from the crew, the message from the captain, the announcement about food or drinks, another message from the captain, various seatbelt-related announcements, something about duty free, and on and on. And they're all in that verbose style, like ChatGPT. Makes using any in-flight entertainment miserable.

It is tedious but it doesn't cause delay. The briefing happens while the airplane is taxying. The message from the captain I'm flight. The food or drinks is a side business (also happening on some trains with wagonlit), same as with the duty free crap.

I agree I'd like more peace but this stuff isn't making it slower.
