From Patrick Smith’s latest “Ask the pilot” column in Salon:
To this day my favorite part of any airline timetable or in-flight magazine is the route map. Next time you fly, check out the back pages of the seat-pocket magazine. I could spend 90 minutes immersed in a kind of pilot porno, studying those three-panel foldouts and their exploding nests of arcs and lines.
So true.
I totally thought I was the only one who did this. Even in this day and age when you can fly anywhere on practically any airline or one of its “partners,” I still flip to the map and check it out every time I’m in a plane.
