Air Travel:Factors to Consider
Advantages and Disadvantages of Air Travel
Air travel has become very popular in the last few decades. Air travel is convenient and safe and these are the main reasons that have contributed to the increase in popularity of air travel. The following are some of the positive and negative factors involving air travel.
Disadvantage: Airplanes Cause Pollution.
Pollution is the biggest problem caused by air travel. Greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere by the aero planes and these gases are responsible for global warming. For those people that try to limit their impact on the planet this could be a serious drawback. Many airlines are becoming friendlier to the environment to prevent the effect of global warming. This can include them retrofitting their airplanes with a device called a winglet which improves fuel efficiency. Apart from this the airlines invest a large sum of money to replace their old aircraft by fuel efficient aircraft.
Disadvantage: High Cost
People refrain from traveling by air because of the high cost of air travel. It is cheaper to fill up gas in your car and drive to your desired destination instead of going by flight. There are ways to get around this by taking advantage of discount
airline travel. The main deciding factor for flying or driving is the type of deal you can get for airfare.
Disadvantage: Fear of Flying
Many people avoid flying for specific reasons. This is mainly because of the fact that they were on a flight that has experienced extreme turbulence or some type of other event and this has been rather terrifying.
Advantage: Speed of Travel
The greatest advantage about air travel is that it is much faster to reach between places as compared to other means of travel; however these places have to be connected by air. The duration of travel by road between two different places in the United States may be a few days as compared to travel by flight which will take only a few hours. Since you are saving a number of days by flying you can enjoy longer vacations.
Advantage: Easy to Travel Long Distances
Air travel also allows us to travel to faraway places that would otherwise be too difficult to travel to. Air travel to practically any destination in the world is possible. In the event of your opting for other modes of transportation you will find the travel time is quite long as compared to flying between these destinations.
Advantage: Safety
One of safest mode of travels out of all the forms of travel available is air travel. We normally hear more about car accidents taking place as compared to air accidents. Even train derailments causing deaths are also being heard of very frequently. As regards to air travel related accidents you will find that the frequency of occurrences is relatively minimal. For many people safety is the prime consideration for choosing air travel as compared to other form of transportation.
Choosing air travel is a personal decision, based on the factors discussed above along with a multitude factors not discussed here. For most travelers safety, speed of travel and cost are the over riding factors. As long as cost remains affordable air travel will continue to grow in popularity.
