Well, we've had movies on airplanes for a long time. And I agree it makes things marginally more bearable.

But just because they've moved it from a shared television on the aisle/ceiling that everyone had to lean out to watch from to a little touch-screen in front of a chair hasn't really changed the fact that flying is a waste of time. And very uncomfortable.

You didn't say flying was a waste of time. You said the experience hadn't gotten any better. Those aren't related ideas.

Uh, a bad experience is a waste of time.

And I'd call these opinions, not ideas.

Not sure if I agree with being downvoted but out of my hands. :)

You're being downvoted because you said flying is a waste of time, which is banal to the point of trolling.

It's not a waste of time if it gets you where you want/need to go.
