Journey
This is a long haul, intercontinental flight. In the allocated, limited space on the plane it is a matter of organizing myself.
The challenge is to get as comfortable as possible. In such a tight space it is not easy. I keep shifting position.
I can’t believe how cramped conditions are and quietly curse the designer.
A saying pops into my mind. It is the journey, not the destination.
Common words yet concise and sagacious, they resonate immediately.
The most contradictory thing about this wise saying strikes me; globally quoted, all the while remaining completely unknown in the airline industry.
