Man Perfectly Nails the Grim but Funny Reality of All-Day Air Travel
In our ideal world, we'd hop on a plane in the morning and land a couple of hours later in a new destination, totally refreshed and ready to take on a day full of adventure. But unfortunately, that's rarely how travel works out, especially if you're visiting somewhere thousands of miles from home. Long haul flights can be pretty brutal, and so can any flight that requires a layover.
On the way to your vacation, it can all be a bit exciting... but when you're doing the same travel in reverse to get back home, it feels like it takes forever when all you want is to sleep in your own bed again. And on TikTok, @bran__flakezz managed to capture this feeling perfectly.
Set to the incredibly sad song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan, we can see a man sitting in an airport, eating his McDonald's with a blank expression on his face.
He wrote, "POV: You've been traveling for 12 hours and still have a 2 hour flight before you're home. You had airport Chili's for lunch and now McDonald's for dinner because nothing else is open. A man was medically evacuated off your last flight and you've gone to the bathroom 7 times in the last four hours."
Somehow, we have all lived this experience... down to eating food we didn't want to eat just because it was the only thing that was available when we were hungry and feeling absolutely miserable about it. We feel this in our souls!
Vacation is always worth it, but long travel days are so long. He's going to be so happy to get home!
