Bowen

The universal measure of a bad travel experience. A one Bowen trip is a brief delay, while lost luggage, a cancellation with no hotel compensation, or rerouting through Tehran, might be 20 Bowen trips.

It was a five-Bowen trip: I had a middle seat, both arm-rests were broken, and the guy next to me wouldn't stop talking about his Pokemon collection the entire flight.
