Everything, Everything: 58. TTYL; First-Time Flyer FAQ Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Olly sends Kara a text saying he’ll be home in two days. In a mock Q&A, Maddy answers questions about flying, such as how to relieve earaches (gum and kissing), which seat is the best (the window), and how often the air refreshes in the cabin (every 20 minutes). She address how airline blanket can cover two people, how it’s amazing that humans were able to invent both airplanes and bombs, and how turbulence is a fact of life.
Being in an airplane doesn’t just introduce Maddy to the intricacies of air travel—it introduces her to all the innovations that humans have been able to achieve over the course of history. It also puts immense phenomena, like the bombs and violent destruction, into perspective.
