minus-squareFlying Squidlink3•1 month agoTBF, if you can’t afford a phone, you probably can’t afford to fly either.
minus-squareFlying Squidlink3•1 month agoI don’t disagree. I was just pointing it out. Air travel is generally beyond the price range of people on limited incomes.
minus-square@Frozengyrolink9•1 month agoWhile true, it shouldn’t be required. But they also don’t let you buy tickets with cash today either.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoYou absolutely can. But you’ll have to buy them at the ticketing counter, and they will likely by 2-3x as expensive as they would have been otherwise.
minus-square@Frozengyrolink3•1 month agoNot in the US afaik. Need to put the cash on a card, then you can buy them.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•edit-21 month agoNot necessarily true. I hate the whole phone treadmill where a phone battery sucks after two years. And the repair costs as much as another phone. So I held onto phones with like a few hours of battery life. Easier to just print out the tickets and not have to micromanage my phone.

As far as I can tell, that is not correct.
