Why did you allow them to humiliate you like this?

[lmm]

Because flights are expensive enough that for most ordinary people missing one would set them back years or decades financially?

If the median UK salary is >£35,000 I really wonder how arrive at the conclusion that missing a flight will set you back "years or decades"...

[yieldcrv]

too hyperbolic to take seriously

it would be incredibly inconvenient, and maybe missing other parts of a full vacation would set them back, but thats not the only reason people buy flights
