What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · S4 EP17: Waleed Aly · 25 Apr 2026 podcast

And then there are missed chances.

I'm now sitting in the plane in seat 1A, which sounds like business class, but it's not.

No.

The point with 1A is 1A is the same as 24C.

They're all the same.

Right.

The difference is I'm at the front and I have to do the emergency whatever thing if the plane crashes.

But there's no business class on this flight.

So I look at the ticket and I go, 1A, woohoo!

And then I realize that it's not very good at all.

I love the thinking behind this, David, because it is true.

You do get to see that, especially on routes that are so popular.

I remember recently I saw, I was on a flight and a former premier of Victoria, who I won't name, was having a real battle finding a place in the overhead locker.

To put his back.

and it was really quite a lot of fun watching this luminary no longer in office having to battle it out with the rest of us and no one really rushing to help which i may have said something about the political stance of the travelers i don't know but no i'm sad to say on this flight no maybe they don't fly the little dash 8 planes got it maybe they're in the good seat 1a is not the bad seat because they're a little bit bumpy these how's the flight is that okay

It's okay, yeah.

The flight to Canberra the day before, not great.

Because Canberra's a very bad city to fly in because there's hills all around it.

And there's a point where you hit the hills and you're in this little plane and it's just, it's horrible.

Yeah, yeah, this is all bad.
