I think this is the right way to look at it: we are very quick at updating expectations. The first flight is magic, the nth one is a chore.

- pmontra 3y agoYou're generally right but one of my nth ones was Brisbane to Cairns over the reef during the day. I'd fly it again and again.
- huevosabio 3y agoOne of my favorites is landing in Rio, the landscape is spectacular and then you get Christ the Redeemer as the cherry on top of the cake.
- camgunz 3y agoI feel this for a lot of things, but I love flying and I've probably done it dozens of times. I know people who travel for business and that sounds like it'd kill the magic, but I still love it. Earbuds + laptop! Isolated for hours! They bring food _to you_! You're miles up in the sky!
