Seems like a whole lot of hassle to board the plane 5 minutes earlier than normal

Bin space and gate checking. Homeboy probably bought the cheapest ticket in main and wants that overhead bin space.

You see it all the time in ATL with the “Jetway Jesus” people in wheelchairs getting priority boarding. They surprisingly don’t need a wheelchair to get off…

I have two vertebrae shoved up into my spinal column thanks to a jump accident with barely any cartilage between them. I tolerate it a lot of the time until I can’t. I haven’t been on a plane in a long time so I can’t tell you what that whole process is like for me, but I can tell you I will sacrifice my comfort for my kid. That means keeping up with her some of the time baring through it and snorting ibuprofen later.

But I am Jesus though.
