Field notes
Entries pair a short caption with a named passenger “species” and a comic explanation of the behavior or perk being observed. The feed spans four pages and links out to original posts, while its navigation includes a species index and options to report or remove a post. The jokes draw on recognizable airline details, including boarding groups, baggage fees, and the distinction between extra legroom and actual first class.
