UA945 to ORD leaves earlier at 8:10am. At least, it does on mid Sept when I am flying them back to the US.
When you are sitting at home on the couch and reach for the arm to pull out your tray table...
I took the Acela vs. my usual flight and I was panicked by the fact that it doesn't have seat belts. 138mph is V1 in an A320 and this dangnabit contraption is hurtling along at 150mph?! It's insanity!

You don't listen to your reader, we asked you for a flight on AVIANCA to BOGOTA!
You get the same immigration guy at Mumbai International every Sunday, every three weeks, and he knows you have a 1 year visa but still goes through the charades. That, and the gift-shop people in a few international airports have presents ready and wrapped for you to take home to the kids (KL is the best at this)!
You memorize which seats are the best on
each aircraft type and know where the closest lounge or your favorite eatery is located in the terminal.
