Yes, often. It has been the same experience (satisfactory), except some have newer planes. Avoid buying the lowest tier pricing (stick to economy, or whatever has free carry on and lets you pick a seat).
I end up paying roughly $50 per hour of flight plus or minus, and it’s been consistent for my adult life (15+ years). Which is surprising considering inflation.
The only problems I have with flying are TSA and airport runway congestion itself.
If you're flying at all, it's likely you are going to be spending some amount of money. In reality, it would be wildly unlikely that a person could afford a $200 ticket and not a $300 one with proper planning.
