  People have caught of wolves unimaginable wars and trauma but no you choosing to fly in a wonder machine is enough for a little Xanax bar
context: I traveled for work for a decade. It's really not that bad. The situations you bring up are those rare times when things go sideways. Generally it's pretty smooth.
  Don't get me wrong. Flight days are still long/tiring days, but they're not that bad. >
  
  Even when things go wrong it’s almost always just waiting around. It’s way more stressful to have a flat tire on a highway than a flight get delayed. >
  
  It's not that stressful for me, it doesn't ruin my holiday, but flying is my least favorite way to travel because of what you wrote. >
  
  sounds like you gotta pick better airlines >
  
  No such thing. They’re all good for a while and then they’re shit for a while and then they cycle just like every other industry in the world >
  
  are you american? >
  
  Canadian >
  
  Didn't know it was that bad there. I've only travelled in Europe but it's pretty chill and I have no idea what you mean with bumping. Never had that issue. Worst that has happened is a flight being delayed but it doesn't cause stress, it's sort of a ''what can you do'' situation. >
  
  I would much rather drive for trips less than 12 hours.  You make it in about the same time as the whole flying production and you are in control! >
  
  Covering the distance of a 12 hour drive would normally take me about 4 - 5 hours of flying including arrival and departure. >
  
  But if you don’t have a direct flight, or the airports are also a long drive from start to destination the 4 hours of flying will be 12 hours of traveling. Last trip I went on was 12:15 from leaving the hotel until getting home, one 3 hour 5 minute flight the other an hour 15. >
  
  Personally I live in and mostly travel to major metro areas so the lack of a direct flight usually isn't a problem. It's also like 12 hours of driving time is 2 hours of flight time. If you make multiple stops for meals and such it can easily turn into a 14 hour drive, not to mention the possibility of traffic.
  Even if it was 1:1 the same amount of travel time, I find it much less stressful to wait around in an airport or on a plane that be focused on driving for nearly an entire day. >
  
  I love sleeping in airplanes, much better than buses and trains. I find it very relaxing >
  
  You wonna travel by car? >
  
  If it’s an option yeah I’d much rather drive. If it’s overseas though obviously that’s not happening >
  
  Bruh traveling by car is so annoying 
  You have to drive like 12 facking hours, you can only pee at a gasstation and are stuck in annoying traffic jam >
  
  No it’s not. It can be 12 hours by plane too if you account for lay-overs, waiting around, going through customs etc. at least if you have your vehicle and something goes wrong it’s easier to just turn around and go home >
  
  I find it still more comfortable in a plane then in a car even if I have to wait 3 hours for the plane
