Why Flying Shouldn't Be Your Only Option

[Edith Wright]

Travelling can be done in millions of different ways. From flying in
an airplane to riding a bike, as long as it gets you there, it will be
considered a form or transportation. If your future foresees a plane
trip and you don't necessarily want to take it and want to find
alternative ways, there are a few reasons you shouldn't fly an
airplane.
So many alternatives - If you're travelling within your country and
you don't need to cross a major body of water to get there, try
thinking of all of the alternatives. From driving to riding on a
train, there are so many cheap alternatives that you may find yourself
liking. Check out travel guides to see what other travelers recommend.
Save the hassle - Flying can be a pain in the butt when it comes to
security. When you get to the airport, you have no idea how long
you're going to have to wait in line and who knows how long they will
keep you there to check you out if you seem suspicious. Travelling via
a car is the way to go if you want to avoid finding parking, waiting
in line, and sitting next to a smelly person.
Skip the fees - Flying isn't cheap and I'm sure you've noticed this by
checking out the airline tickets. From a fuel surcharge to paying the
ridiculous charges itself, the fees add up quick. After the airline
tickets, you're going to have to pay per day for parking, food at the
airport, and then on top of that, you'll have to get a rental car when
you land for your trip. Sometimes, it sounds so much easier to avoid
the trouble of flying.
You know where everything is - If you're going to travel with your
family, you're going to have your luggage and everything else in order
to enjoy your vacation. When you travel via the train or car, you'll
know where your bags are at all times. If you're flying connecting
flights, you may find that your luggage isn't there anymore when you
land. If you don't have your luggage, how are you going to enjoy
vacation with only one set of clothing? And since the airline
companies don't care, you're just going to have to waste half of your
vacation looking for your bags or new clothes.
Be comfortable - When you're flying, you're never going to know who
you're going to be sitting next to. Even though you have tickets with
your family, it doesn't mean you're going to sit together. The
airlines can make you move, so your ticket number means nothing. When
you drive, you'll know exactly who you're with and you can do anything
without annoying people you don't know.
Now, I know flying has its perks but there are so many perks to taking
another route like a train or automobile. The next time you book your
vacation, try and look into these options to see if it's something
your family would enjoy. Remember; don't knock it until you try it.
