I tend to spend a fair amount of time travelling. However, it's not the actual air-miles I object to, quite the contrary in fact, it's the "battery hen" approach the industry takes these days. Endless queuing; waiting around sitting on hard bench seats; getting delayed, often without even a cursory explanation as to why; no food; bad service; over-crowding ... well, you get the picture. And yet, and yet. The actual flight itself can still be magical if the weather is fair and you have a window seat. Staring out, it provides an ever-changing vista that rivals anything shown on the National Geographic channel. Even flying over endless clouds still offers up unique images that stick in your mind long after landing.
