The Pomeranian in 21D Isn’t Making This Flight Better

Ms. Feintzeig is a writer in Connecticut.

The summer travel season is upon us, with its ballooning ticket prices and rash of flight cancellations, and I can’t help feeling nostalgic for better days. Some people might pine for the golden age of flying, that time of lavish onboard meals and enough space for a typical-size human to sit down, but I like to keep my expectations low. I fantasize about going back to a time when travel was just a little less horrible. I fantasize about going back to 2023.

Remember getting on a plane three years ago?........
