I totally see what you mean, and technology has brought the formerly impossible into the reach of millions. Technically, however, the absolute cheapest way to get there is to borrow a bike and some camping gear and start pedaling, and the absolute fastest way is to hop into your own private jet waiting in your backyard. The first is waaaay too time-consuming for most people to consider reasonable, and the latter is too expensive for most people to attain. Commercial air travel is the best compromise between the two. The problem with most clients is that they want a private jet at borrowed bicycle prices.
