Seven reasons why flying is the best way to travel"},"content":{"rendered":"

Over the last decade, air travel has received a lot of attention on the nightly news. A number of tragic global incidents have given travellers cause to ponder – is flying safe anymore? Sometimes, Mother Nature does not play nice and volcano eruptions, storms, and even bird strikes can cause lengthy delays and cancellations.<\/p>\n

This is a tough dilemma for Aussies given our vast and geographically isolated location. We really have no choice but to fly if we want to travel to Asia and beyond; unless you take a cruise, which let\u2019s face it, gets just as much negative press right now \u2013 sickness outbreaks, rough seas, breakdowns mid-ocean\u2026<\/p>\n

Many people question, is flying safe? We need to travel! We must travel!<\/p>\n

In the words of writer Samuel Johnson,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are seven reasons why flying continues to be the top way to travel. Push those negative thoughts aside, and take to the skies<\/p>\n

1. Is flying safe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let’s get to this first \u2013 according to Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), 80% of Australians consider travelling on a commercial flight is just as safe as or safer than five years ago. Each day, there are more than 102,000 scheduled commercial aircraft flights across the world and 2017 was the safest year on record.<\/p>\n

2. Flying is the fastest way to get from A to B<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you only have limited time to travel and want to spend the maximum amount of time exploring or relaxing, then flying is absolutely your best choice. Internal flights within your chosen destination mean you can cover several locations in large countries, such as China<\/a>, in less time, meaning you get to see, do and experience more!<\/p>\n

3. It\u2019s the only way to get to remote locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dreamt of hiking in Nepal<\/a>? Exploring the Buddhist culture in the mountain kingdom of Bhutan<\/a>? Or travelling to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia<\/a>? Flying really is the only way to get to these dreamy, but also very remote locations. For international travellers, flying creates unlimited options for incredible holiday options. You can travel to distant lands and experience unique cultures. Many of these places simply would not be an option without air travel \u2013 it is a vehicle to the world!<\/p>\n
