flying is fundamentally unpleasant, everyone's unhinged about and onboard an aircraft. we weren't meant to be on those devil machines, at least not in the concentrations and conditions that make them economical (and frankly i have a hard time imagining a private jet is much quieter).

That's why flying is fun. When that first big bank after takeoff starts and you can hear the wings and airframe beating the fuck out of gravity while trying to rip the wingbox away from each other. That is the only truly great part of flying.

If god intended us to travel with wheels he'd give them to horses! Anything other than good old foot travel is laughing in his face!

I don't think (for most people) the noise is the bad part, but luxury planes absolutely have more sound insulation than airliners

But yeah flying is dogshit lol. Train wins any day of the week, unless mayyyybe if its multiple overnights in coach
