Commercial airliners are plenty fast.
Flying is a nightmare due to everything that is _not_ sitting on a plane. Booking, checking-in, dealing with labyrinth airport layouts, needing to walk literally miles to your gate in some instances, your own government treating you like a career criminal ala TSA, etc.
Sitting on the plane and going to sleep for a few hours is the best part of the whole ordeal.
- array-species 3y agoAgreed. Would be curious on the math around slower, smaller, short-takeoff, airlines. Fast landing and takeoff is stressful and dangerous. History should have been the lesson about flying around what are effectively missiles. Sound is annoying in metro areas. More pre-check security. Less hoopla. Many people have to drive 1hr+ to fly in the US.
