Overall, the Doomsday Clock comic changed in its tone and themes. It became darker and more complex, exploring deeper philosophical and ethical questions. Also, the art style might have evolved to better convey the intense mood.
Delays are a big problem. For standby flights, you might be waiting for hours or even days because the flight gets delayed due to various reasons like weather or technical problems. And all that waiting around in the airport is just dreadful.
Book early. If you can avoid standby and get a confirmed ticket, that's the best way. This way you have a guaranteed seat and won't have to worry about being bumped or left behind.
The uncertainty. When you're in a standby situation, not knowing what will happen next can be terrifying. For example, in a standby for a rescue operation, you don't know if help will arrive in time.
Once I was on a standby flight. I got to the airport super early, like 4 am. I was all excited to get on the flight. But they kept delaying the standby list announcements. Finally, when they did, I was number 20 on the list and there were only 5 seats available. It was so frustrating. I ended up having to wait another 5 hours for the next possible standby chance.
There was a person flying standby who had an important meeting at their destination. They arrived at the airport early and waited patiently. But due to some technical issues with the airline's standby system, their name was not properly registered. So when seats became available, they were overlooked. By the time the mistake was noticed, all the seats were taken and they missed their meeting. This shows how unreliable flying standby can be at times.
You can start by checking the time settings and ensuring they are correct. Also, look for any glitches or bugs in the software or platform you're using for the stories.
