Which form of transport will you choose when you are about to travel?

Hi, there: Today I have a question for you because I really like to know your idea. People travelling long distences frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea or air. Hardly I can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartment soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take my mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls me to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches, and at night when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. And of course areoplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimitated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being a expensive of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort I think and I am fond of air travelling. My dear friends, so which way will be your option? I would really like to know. Yours Painkillerus

For long journeys, I would go for the option of airplane as they are fast, convenient and offer plenty of features like the option of watching a movie and on-board food (as ghastly as it is, in its little plastic air-sealed dish). The only thing I do not like about travelling by air is the hassle of checking in beforehand. All the security checks and having to lug your baggage around can get very annoying indeed

I have really enjoyed my travels by plane. I am always very nervous before I boaard but once I get in the air..I'm fine..lol. I also do enjoy car trips as long as I have someone to split the driving with me if it's over a couple of hours. I have made a lot of long car trips. I did do a speed train when I went to Japan that was awesome. The seats were very comfortable and the trip was pretty quick too. I think that I would like to take a long trip on a train just once. Just to say I had.

Yeah, every form of transport has its advantage. When you have a long journey with a car, then you'd better have a rest at least 30mins after a 4-hour driving as usual. No matter where you go, just stay safe. Wish you a nice day. Thanks for replying.
