I had a flight planned with Air Canada from Montreal to Halifax in May. The first flight was with a Boeing 737 max 8. When I found out it was too late. I couldn't change my flight or cancel without losing the entire price of the ticket minus the taxes. That's a few hundred dollars. I was just about ready to say fuck it and cancel and just take the losses.

Thankfully, there was a change in my flight time even a month before the flight was planned. That gave me the right to change my flight without any penalty. I called them right away to switch to a non Boeing flight.

There's no way I'm ever getting into a Boeing unless I have no other choice.

Honestly, at this point, air travel is so uncomfortable and unpleasant in general that I just avoid it unless absolutely necessary at this point. The only thing I will give air travel now over what it was when I was a kid is that they banned smoking. That's pretty much it. Everything else is worse.

Yeah. I love travelling and visiting new places, but the flight is the absolute worst part. There's absolutely zero comfort. It's inhumane.
