As frequent fliers ourselves, although a bit less so in the last 18 months, we can commiserate with the negatives mentioned by retiredguy123. Luckily however, we have not personally witnessed some of the meltdowns that make the news. However, you and Charlie both make excellent points in that we can now cover distances more quickly, efficiently and less expensively (comparatively), than we could have even imagined 50 years ago. While we also enjoy long and overnight train travel, both here and abroad, until we are loaded (as guinea pigs) in that little tube being proposed - flying is the best option out there. As has been said many times,
"if you don't like things like this, no one is forcing you to do it."
