Are you a daily traveller because of your work ? Do you have to drive hundreds of miles to do your work? Do you ride boats to arrive at your destination?

My point here is that air travel has progressed tremendously that it is definitely important when travel to and from long destinations.

While travel in an airplane not only is reliable, fast, more efficient, the other benefits compared to land travel or boats are comfort level, more available flights, in-flight movies, beautiful stewardessess and a priceless aerial view of the landscape from the air.

I say that travelling by air is a luxury because the price is so high compared to the other kinds of transportation. Most airports are located away from the city for safety reasons, thus it would entail more costs to access the airport.

Most business managers, salesmen and other "power-brokers" take trips by air as it is less taxing on the body and mind. Of course, there are still hassles like delays, lost baggages, cancelled flights, bad in-flight food or the occasional annoying seatmate.

We are in a time where gasoline prices are unbelievably high such that airline companies even charge for extra baggage brought in by travellers.

You can really see that air travel is for the priveleged because the tax paid for such terminal fees are exhorbitant compared to bus, train, boats and other modes of transportation.
