Is air travel interesting?

Among all forms of travel,  by air is the most boring. You can have delighful conversations in train, sea is at your side if cruise is what you're at, on road is adventurous too on many occasions. 

In fact, leaving aside the first time you travel by plane, all other experiences are nothing short of a headache. Like any first time experience, you're curious to see how a plane flies, air hostesses, scene inside the airport, the whole process of getting on board is thrilling. People click selfies to record this moment. However, the next time, the same curiosity is killed. It's a system which operates in a preset organised way, repeated hours after hours, days on. It may be interesting for the airport to witness hoard of passengers heading towards there destination, for the traveller per say, sorry, there is nothing much to experience. The only solace is you save couple of hours choosing this mode of transport. 



  • Eyes can't fathom sea of crowd emerging from all quarters.
  • Everyone is either in hurry or lazing around waiting for flight.
  • Boarding starts early so one wakes up early to catch the plane. The energy all around is dull. 
  • Each time you bypass stores leading you to your final gate, you wonder 'who buys from here?' 
  • This much you could see inside the airport. However, once inside the plane even this view is restricted. 
  • At the most, few people around you is all you can see. Like you, they too are wondering 'when will the lights dim off?'  The constant sound of plane's engine, wings gearing up for flight knocks your head right off. 
  • Sleep away the time.There is no option, after all. In fact, that's the best given you are tied to your seat. Crew instructs that often on captain's call. 

What do you think? Is still a happy journey?
