The world’s first airplane made by the Wright brothers on December 17, 1903 was a big invention in transportation. Since then, a variety of airplanes have been produced. Some people may think taking the airplane is dangerous because the risk involved. However, it is reported that the total number of accidental deaths by other means of transportations is more than those by air. It is expected that the majority of people would take airplanes when they travel. Airplanes have changed people’s lives in two major ways.
Taking Airplanes is timesaving and promotes economic development Airplanes are timesaving means of transportations because flying is fast and easy. It takes about twenty to 26 hours from Asia to North America by air, comparing to one week by ship. Therefore, people can easily travel from one place to another place. Airplanes make touring, studying abroad, doing business, attending conferences and other events possible. As a result, it promotes economic development.
However, taking airplanes causes some inconveniences in people’s lives. It is uncomfortable to sit in a narrow seat for a lengthy trip. The muscles may become tense and joints stiff from the hours of sitting in the same position. Fatigue and discomfort may arise. Jetlag is also a common complication after traveling by air. Another problem involved the complicating process such as one needs to book a ticket in advance, and most of the time, the ticket is nonrefundable. Moreover, one needs to arrive at the airport one or two hours ahead, depending on domestic or international flight. In addition, the expensive fare is not affordable for everyone. The round-trip fare from Taiwan to Toronto is about CAD 1500, so it is surely I will not use it as often as I use other means of transportations such as buses or trains.
In conclusion, traveling by air is faster and easier which brings people closer. Although it has some inconveniences, taking the airplane is inevitable in the modern society. The good news is some companies such as the Singapore Air, recently developed much more comfortable seats for their VIP guests. Therefore, if one can afford the fare, traveling by air will be an enjoyable thing to do.
