> 20+ years ago when my family visited relatives abroad, our relatives would get to the airport and often have to wait for our delayed flight because they had no way of knowing

Apart from phoning the airline or airport and checking whether the flight was on time. We used to do that all the time 30+ years ago.

20 years ago you could check on websites IIRC.

Back in my day, we had to walk fifty miles in the snow, up hill both ways, and we couldn’t afford shoes, just to phone the airline.

Back when men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Thanks for that, I hadn’t seen it for a couple decades, gave me a good chuckle.
