Hold the plane button

For the terminally late

Most of my Saturday was spent at the airport or on a plane. Oh, the joys of travel. It wasn’t the most fun experience but now I get to see my family, which is fun. We flew Southwest. I need to switch airlines. The free-for-all seating was fun in college and after but now it’s just exhausting.

I’ve previously explored concepts around flying be it a baby ban, an option to meet your seatmate, or an ability to fight someone for a spot on a plane. Something I have not thought about as much is the experience of getting on a plane. For the terminally late, what if there was an upsell to have the plane wait a bit longer for you at the gate?

The price would have to be exorbitant as you create a ripple effect that messes up hundreds if not thousands of other people’s schedules. With that in mind, $3,149.99 might be a bargain.
