Air Travel
In the early days of air travel, travelling by plane was an exciting adventure, something very special. The airline staff looked after you as if you were the most important person in the world. You had comfortable seats and excellent food, so an air trip was something to look forward to. But that has all changed, as anyone who has flown recently will know. It is no longer an exciting adventure, but a stressful experience you have to go through. It starts at the airport where you are made to stand in endless queues. The first queue is to check in and hand over your suitcases to the airline and once you do this you have no idea if you will ever see them again. Then you are photographed and X-rayed and questioned by a number of officials. Everyone can see what shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste you use, as these must be in a plastic bag for the officials to check. Your holiday now
seems more like a nightmare than a holiday! So why don’t we travel by train or ship? Train
journeys are much less stressful and, usually much more comfortable than going by plane, but they are also much slower.
