it’s not just parents either. some people are just like that when they travel.

Dude I flew out somewhere for a work training and it was 11x easier than my parents ever made it out to be. Just read the signs, follow the directions and get there about 1-2 hours before boarding. The biggest hassle was finding coffee in the Orlando airport (I ended up finding it tucked in the back corner of a bar)

The whole experience was more enjoyable than I ever remember flying being and it just comes down to going with the flow and being ready to roll with the punches

You flew by yourself, without taking care of a child, and you're surprised it's easier? Everything is easier without a kid. Your parents flew all over the place before you arrived. Planes weren't invented when you were born.

Nah they would get freaked out by the smallest inconvenience and just getting to the gate was an odyssey for them somehow. With my own kids I've got plenty of things I look back on and go "oh yeah I understand why my parents did that now" but also plenty of things where its 100% "how the heck was this such a challenge for my parents to handle?"
