To the Editor:
“Summer Havoc Feared as Lines Snarl Airports” (front page, May 3) again portrays the progressive demoralization of air travelers.
Decades of my life have been built on air travel—college years, a Navy enlistment, grad school, career business travel, overseas vacations and commuting to date my second wife after being left a widower.
Air travel was a means of both expanding my life and holding it together. Today, a vacation is more to recuperate from the misery of air travel and offers less and less refreshment from the daily grind. It has gone from an exciting adventure to a rough day’s work, to frustration and humiliation, cramped seats and extra fees.
