Planes Aren’t So Bad
April 23rd, 2008 by Fairy Godmother
If you think about it, there’s at least 30,000 commercial flights in the air in the United States every day.
That’s a lot of people traveling.
I don’t get into flying as much, perhaps because of the cabin pressure that usually makes my ears hurt. It usually forces me to take a few aspirin in mid-flight, because I know of how bad it will hurt when we’re about to land.
Still, the advantage of getting to somewhere I want to be quicker than driving is very nice.
I actually like airports. In a sense that usually when I’m in them, I’m going somewhere and can appreciate the fun of just going somewhere that wasn’t home. Of course if I’m on the flight home, I appreciate where I’ve been and the enjoyment of knowing soon I’ll be back in my own bed.
There’s also the fun of being able to get a glimpse at the thousands of people coming and going in an airport. What stories they might have about why they are flying. What happened on their trip? How long have they been away from home? Where are they going next?
I’m a little shy, so I tend not to ask too many questions, I just watch and make wild guesses.
So… anyone out there ever had anything interesting happen to them while at an airport? Or on a plane?
