I've been flying regularly for many years, and while I hate the experience of cramped seating, long

lines, security checks, and soulless airports, I do overall still appreciate the joy of flying. I also
enjoy the benefits of being able to reach other parts of the planet mile a minute , often for a
relatively affordable price.
There are many reasons to choose an air travel over the rest forms of transportation.
On the Air travel you go at a fast clip, it is by far the quickest mode of travel when travelling long
distances, cars, buses, even high speed trains can't really compete. Add to that the fact that traveling
through the sky means that planes don't have to deal with geographical obstacles like oceans, rivers,
or mountains, or man-made issues like traffic jams.
Flying was considered to be an expensive luxury for those who put on airs up until the latter part of
the 20th Century. Nowadays, it's a relatively affordable mode of travel and prices still continue to
drop in some places, thanks in part to larger passenger aircraft and technological advances. In many
parts of the world, flying between cities can often be cheaper than travel by rail.
Air travel is widely considered to be one of the safest forms of transport, especially when compared
to road journeys.
Hence to clear the air, when comparing the road statistics - the average odds of dying in a motor
vehicle accident over the course of a lifetime is 1 in 98. For air transport, the equivalent odds were 1
in 7,178.
Plane travel enables travelers to do other things. For instance, passengers can read during the flight,
it is indeed better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Flying is an exciting and fun experience. The thrill of taking off into the air, travelling above the
clouds, and looking down on the landscapes below.
There is also something amazing about taking a long-haul flight, when you board at a familiar
airport, then get off in a place where there is radically different weather, buildings, culture, and
languages.
I don't think that there's anything quite like flying for getting you out of your comfort zone. You can
arrive in a new place with very different weather, terrain, and culture within a matter of hours. Your
mindset can be altered almost instantly by the new opportunities, learning experiences, and go off
the beaten path.
And lastly, plane travel enables direct contact between people from different cultures. This might
take the form of a learning experience for young people, providing them with the opportunity to
develop skills and traits such as tolerance, adaptability, and confidence. It might also take the form
of employment-based exchanges, where people learn different approaches to creative projects,
business or work-orientated challenges.
