I have travelled a fair bit. For me, getting my boarding pass scanned, boarding the aircraft, bag stowed, my little bit of electronics sorted, sitting in my seat - it means I’m done, I have no more responsibilities, I can relax until I get to my destination. Until I’m on the plane, I have to live in the world of the airport, where things can and do go wrong. Once I’m on the plane, I can go back to my own world.
