We all believe in counting our blessings, and we should be grateful for being able to board an aircraft and experience the wonders of flight. Many people are unable to purchase an airline ticket, and some are unable to travel due to health concerns, for example. Can you see, by the way, that we were preparing for a “however”?
It’s true that being in an airplane is a blessing in and of itself. It can, however, also be a very annoying experience. Consider this: you may spend several hours at a time in a confined area with hundreds or even thousands of strangers. Unpleasant situations always arise, and it’s really up to chance whether you’ll be surrounded by well-mannered, courteous people or those that look like they were raised by racoons.
