When you’re about to travel, the fastest way to get to your destination is by plane. However, many people still don’t choose airplanes unless they have to. Some individuals perceive flying as a stressful time, because of what they hear from air crafts disappearing into the Indian Ocean and commercial airlines being shot down while crossing warzones. Despite all these events, flying is still considered the ideal way to travel.

Here’s Why Flying Is The Best Way to Travel:

Affordable

Some people believe that flying will cost them much more than taking a train or a bus.

However, nowadays, almost all airlines offer endless promotions and discounts throughout the year, which makes flight tickets less expensive than those buses and trains.

Folks at Flyin, also suggest looking for travel options in advance because that will be highly affordable and cost-efficient.

Before traveling, check the airlines’ websites and other booking sites to ensure that you get the best and cheapest price for your flight.

Safe

Even though every now and then we hear about a plane crash and flights being delayed due to bad weather, which causes huge inconveniences, it’s the safest method to reach any destination.

When calculating the safety measures (Forbes) for all means of transportation, airplanes are the safest.

Over 93,000 commercial aircraft fly worldwide daily, yet we can go months without hearing about a crash.

On the other hand, the number of buses, cars, and trains fatal crashes is much higher.

This means the probability of you being on a plane that crashes is incredibly low.  

Faster

If you’re going on a vacation, your number of days is limited.

It’s better to enjoy every minute you have with fun activities than to spend hours on the road.

Even if the distance is short, flights are your best option, says The Balance.

For example, if you travel from Saudi Arabia to Dubai by car or by bus, it might take you more than 10 hours, while it takes less than 2 hours via plane.

Many recommend arriving at least 2 hours early for your flight to avoid any inconvenience.

Although you’d spend 2 hours flying and 2 more hours before the flight, it’s still faster and more comfortable than taking a bus or a car.

Taking the fastest transportation is also helpful when you’re on your way back from your trip, as you’ll be exhausted and driving for hours wouldn’t be the best idea.

Enjoying Every Minute

Some domestic aircraft now offer inflight internet, which gives you a great opportunity to be productive.

Taking the bus or driving to your destination makes it nearly impossible to get any work done or to relax.

However, taking a flight will give you some free time to get some work done.

Besides, you will have your own comfy seat, get to watch a movie or walk around to stretch your legs, and, most importantly you’ll have a clean bathroom.

Airplanes are safe.

Each airline has a professional team of engineers that double-check the plane before it takes off.

Also, the safety measures are almost always taken care of and are definitely better than those taken with cars, buses, and trains.

After considering all these points, we bet that you’d find flying the ideal and most convenient option while traveling.
