The cost of air travel

Bottle of water at Burbank airport: $2.99.

Bottle of same kind of water at Denver airport: $1.30.

???

Sandwich, said bottle of water, plus chips, at Burbank airport: $20.90.

Two bottles of water, plus chocolate bar with almonds, plus corn chips, at Denver airport: $6 plus change.

(Because you can’t bring a bottle of water into the airport, it is ipso factor commonplace to purchase bottles of water at the airport.)

Cost of wifi, good for the entire day on Southwest, but working only intermittently and not robust enough to support streaming, but nevertheless allowing me to post this from somewhere high above the middle of the country: $8.

Cost of common courtesy among passengers: absolutely nothing, but also intermittent.
