乘飞机旅行的优缺点

乘飞机旅行的优缺点 Many people prefer to travel by air. This is because air travel has some advantages. In the first place, airplane is the fastest means of transport. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Secondly, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses are affectionate(温柔亲切的) and considerate（体贴的）. They look after passengers all the way to their destinations. Moreover, on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves. As a popular saying goes, "Everything has two sides." An important issue of our society is the safety and comfort of our means of travelling. Unlike air travel, which is regulated internationally, rail travel is mainly controlled nationally, and therefore its degree of safety is greater. For example in the USA and the UK the death average is of about ten passengers per year. It is well known that airplanes are more comfortable than trains and the time of a trip is also shorter, but the risk of accidents is very high. We all watch the TV news and each day something bad happens to an airplane in the USA, UK, France or even Romania. Once the airplane is in the air it is very difficult to have full control over it and, thus many undesirable（不受欢迎的）things can occur. In what concerns the financial（金融的）aspect, everybody knows how expensive airplane tickets are and if you want to travel by airplane you have to save some money in advance. This happens mainly in our country, where the difference between prices is quite significant, but in other European states and in the USA , the tickets have similar prices. To conclude, each means of transport has its advantages and disadvantages and when you have to take a trip you should always think first at your comfort and safety and decide what suits you the most.
