Every Flight Has These Things in Common, And No One Enjoys Them

Artist and author Christopher Niemann loves to draw - particularly while incorporating everyday objects - and he's damn good at it. Along with writing and illustrating for the New York Times since 2008, his work has also been featured in The New Yorker, Time, and Wired.
Naturally, as a world-renowned artist and author, Niemann does a lot of traveling. And recently, on a flight from New York to Berlin, he had the idea of drawing some of the traveling woes that come with an 8-hour-long flight.
And so the battle begins...

Rationing peanuts on planes is great training for rationing food in the wild.

In fact, a meal made in the wild might be better than most plane dinners.

The thing about reclining your chair on a plane is you can't.

If only the "delete your neighbor" button was an actual thing.

Plane pillows...they help soooooo much.

And 'plane breath' is pretty much the work of the devil.

We've all wondered it at some point - why do baby's always get special treatment??

Don't ever reach to the bottom of the chair pouch. You don't know what evil lurks down there...

We all set out with reading goals...and then fall drastically short of them.

Airports really need to stop weaponizing their hand dryers...

And it'd be nice if they started carrying toothpicks too.

After a while, on an 8-hour flight, the sleep deprivation starts to get to you.

Like, really get to you. But all is made right when you see your glorious luggage intact.
