I Could Have Punched Him In The Face

Except I couldn’t reach

Karen Schwartz; What or Who’s making you angry today?

My son and daughter-in-law arrived here yesterday complaining of the “long flight” and the “jetlag”. When he’s midway over the Indian Ocean, he texts me, “Turns out Australia is really fucking far from humanity. 7 hours to go.”

I’m assuming humanity means Abu Dhabi, where he lives. It’s been over 5 years since he visited Australia.

When he casually mentioned he was too tall (he’s 6'7") for the bed in Business Class, I screamed, “You flew Business Class and you’re complaining? Fuck off out of my house right now!”

I wanted to punch him in the face, not so much for flying business class but having the audacity to complain about the flight and how long it was!

I countered, “Try flying from Heathrow to Brisbane in economy class!!!!” which I have done more times than I care to count. Dubai to Brisbane is the last leg of that flight.

He calmed me down by saying he’s flown 32 flights this year (2024) and only 6 of them have been Business Class. I’m sure they’re the ones where his wife has accompanied him because as a tour leader, imagine his tour group stuck back in Economy (aka Cattle Class) while their “leader” laps it up in the pointy part of the plane.

I’ve flown Business Class to Europe via Dubai once and I can only describe it as heaven in the sky. It’s nothing like flying economy at all!

Here’s my experience flying Business Class to Europe in 2019. I flew economy on my way back home. Toulouse — Heathrow — Dubai — Brisbane. Ugh!
