It’s the journey we have to take in order to get to the journey we actually want to take. It can be painful, long, exhausting and hair flattening, but it’s not all bad.
Although most people detest the idea of boarding a plane, there are a few out there who say they actually look forward to certain aspects of flying.
Who are these people?
Research conducted by finder.com.au revealed that the majority of Aussies (17 percent) love flying because they can look out the window and receive a unique bird’s eye view of the world.
Mmmmkay, that’s pretty cool.
Around seven percent of the 2,005 people surveyed said they love being able to disconnect from the world during a flight (eek they’re going to hate it when Qantas and Virgin Australia’s fleets are fully equipped with wifi).
Yeah, I guess it’s nice to not check emails and social media.
Then there was some 11 percent of Aussies who said they love flying because they get to watch movies and TV for hours, while five percent love the free alcohol.
Okay, yes, free alcohol total winner!
Others said they enjoyed earning frequent flyer points (oh, that, yes!), trying out business lounges (mhm, not there yet) and eating plane food (emmm, who are you people?).
Of course, not everyone’s a fan of travelling at 32,000-feet, with 36 percent saying they endure it because they have to and nine percent hating every aspect of it.
