actually it used to be like that in earlier days of airliners. it was a social experience.

but those days also had a darker side, like having a dress code for passengers...

Darker? Sounds like a much brighter side...
I was just telling someone how I wish there were higher expectations for personal hygene at airports. I've had many flights made significantly more miserable by smelly people who obviously haven't showered recently. A very slight dress code, like no sweatpants or tank tops, would go a long way towards encouraging people to wash themselves and wear clean clothes before they sit 6 inches away from me for 5 hours.

And let's not forget public transport...

What's dark about that? I wish they'd bring back a dress code.
