Travelling by plane

Do you like travelling? Have you ever travelled by plane? Did you enjoy it or was it a bad experience? Recently, the cost of flying has dropped and consequently, the number of people using air travel has increased. Airports are becoming more crowded, check-in queues are getting longer and there are more flight delays. However, flying is the fastest means of transport and it is statistically the safest way to travel. So, get relaxed and enjoy your flight!!!
