Advantages and Disadvantages of Travelling by Air.

· [Most airports are situated on the outskirts of the city so once you get off the plane you will have a bit of a journey before reaching the final destination. And if you take into consideration the fact that you have to wait around in the airport before taking off, plane travel can sometimes end up taking you just as long as other types of travel.

· Some people experience ‘jet lag’ when traveling across a number of time zones, as the body clock will be out of synchronization with the destination time. The body’s natural pattern is upset, as the rhythms that dictate times for eating, sleeping, hormone regulation and body temperature variations no longer correspond to the environment.

· Some economy sections of certain places are quite crammed and there is very little room.]

· Most people have a fear of heights. This is a reasonable survival trait! However, when coupled with extreme media coverage of disasters, this can lead to very debilitating fear of flying. Furthermore, for many people, not having any control of the plane makes the fear worse.

· It is now possible to get to destinations all over the world at very affordable prices because of the availability of cheap flights.

· Airplanes can be quite comfortable and this makes it a nice way to travel.

· Occasionally, you will not be able to go out on your scheduled flight. Passengers might be stuck on the ground because of fog, thunderstorms or for safety reasons.

· You do not have the same room for movement on a plane as you do on the train.
