Air Travel-Pros and Cons
As the decades have passed air travel has continually grown in popularity. One can attribute a number of reasons for this increase in popularity and these are convenience and safety. The following are some of the positive and negative factors involving air travel.
Disadvantage: Airplanes Cause Pollution.
The major shortcoming of air travel is the pollution caused by it. Greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere by the aero planes and these gases are responsible for global warming. This is considered as a serious drawback by people who are keen to limit the effect of global warming on the universe. Many airlines are becoming friendlier to the environment to prevent the effect of global warming. One of the ways in which you could do this is by retrofitting winglet on the aircraft that makes the aircraft fuel efficient. Apart from this the airlines invest a large sum of money to replace their old aircraft by fuel efficient aircraft.
Disadvantage: High Cost
High cost of travel makes many people avoid traveling by air. You may be able to travel by car to many destinations at a very cheap price as compared to traveling by flight. You can take advantage of discount
airline travel to obviate the high cost of travel by air. Ultimate decision for flying or driving is dependent on whether you get a good deal on the airfare or not.
Disadvantage: Fear of Flying
There are a number of people who just don’t want to fly. This is mainly because of the fact that they were on a flight that has experienced extreme turbulence or some type of other event and this has been rather terrifying.
Advantage: Speed of Travel
The greatest advantage about air travel is that it is much faster to reach between places as compared to other means of travel; however these places have to be connected by air. While it can take days to drive across the United States, a person can fly the same distance in a number of hours. The savings obtained in this mode of air travel gives you an opportunity to enjoy your vacation for a longer period.
Advantage: Easy to Travel Long Distances
Air travel also allows us to travel to faraway places that would otherwise be too difficult to travel to. Air travel to practically any destination in the world is possible. Although many of these flying times are very long you will still find that the total time taken is much shorter than the time that would have been spent by using alternate modes of transportation.
Advantage: Safety
With regards to other forms of travel, air travel is considered to be one of the safest. Car accidents wherein people die happen in thousands every year. Even train derailments causing deaths are also being heard of very frequently. Air travel related disasters do happen but they occur much less frequently. Decision making on the mode of travel has been very easy for many people who consider safety as the main factor for opting to fly.
Choosing air travel is a personal decision, based on the factors discussed above along with a multitude factors not discussed here. For most travelers safety, speed of travel and cost are the over riding factors. As long as cost remains affordable air travel will continue to grow in popularity.
Maybe you are planning a romantic weekend, or possibly, you are going on a long business trip. Perhaps you are jetting off to Hawaii or maybe you’ve rented a dreamy chalet in the snow? Wherever you are flying-off to – you’ll need to make sure you pack your adult toys well to avoid any embarrassing (and possibly very public) situations.
So, how do you pack adult toys? Firstly, you need to remove the batteries. Even though you may think that your vibrator is difficult to turn on, a little shift in the contents of your luggage could easily knock the control to the ON position. You really don’t want to have to explain what is vibrating in your luggage to security personnel or customs officers. Dildos are less of a problem in this respect as they are usually made of silicone / jelly / rubber and have no metal or mechanical parts.
Place your dildos, penis-rings, or vibrators in clear plastic baggies. Airport personnel routinely go through luggage so if you’re chosen at random for a luggage inspection, you’ll be glad your toys are zip-locked away. Customs staff always wear plastic gloves, but you really don’t want their gloves, which have been touching everyone else’s personal items, to touch your intimate toys too. Do the airport staff and yourself a huge favour and place each item in a clear plastic zip baggie to keep everything hygienic.
Always place your vibrators in your checked luggage. This just removes you from the situation a little bit. If you bring a vibrator in your carry-on luggage, well, you are just asking for an embarrassing situation to occur.
Bear in mind also that vibrators are not permitted in certain countries – especially if they are shaped like a phallus. If you take one in your checked-in luggage – you may have to go through the red channel and declare it – and it may be confiscated. One such country where ‘obscene items’ are illegal is Thailand. There, you might get away with importing a traditional slimline vibrator and pass it off as a ‘massager’ for your bad back – however, if your vibe is penis-shaped, expect that it will be confiscated!
In the USA, Texan customs officers will not be sympathetic if you have a suitcase full of vibes – to own more than three such ‘marital aids’ is currently illegal in that state. Therefore, do a quick Google check of what the laws are in the particular state or country you are travelling to.
Finally, don’t travel with your favourite vibe or with your top of the range most-expensive toy. It is best that you take along an inexpensive alternative or buy something completely new especially for the trip. At sites like LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many pink rabbit vibrator articles, information, raves and reviews and links to stores that stock them.
That way, if your luggage is lost, or your toy is confiscated or if your vibe breaks in transit – you will not have lost your favourite ‘friend’ or your most expensive toy. Bon voyage!

I have come to the conclusion that going on one of those great premium luxury cruises is actually worth all the money as well as being a lot better than taking a plane there. But why is this?
No hassle arriving fifty hours before so your bags can be checked, that is done quickly which is great you wont need to get up that early to get there as its all a lot quicker.There is absolute no need to wait around waiting to get to your destination because as soon as you put one foot onto the ship you are pretty much at your hotel for the duration of your holiday.
No more will you have to wait for the seatbelt signs to flicker off before food and drink is served as this is all avalible as soon as you get aboard. Free drinks are only really available on airlines that are expensive to travel on and that is only if you are flying long haul.
The best thing about it is you actually get to have legroom which is great compared to a plane! On a ship there is no need to worry about little legroom as many of the ships even have their own jogging tracks.
If your in danger there are lifeboats to board and it saves jumping out of a plane and the likelihood of anyone being injured at all is extremely low. As well as this you don’t have to worry about terrorists at all! All you really need to worry about are pirates and that is only if you are near the pirate zones.
Of course there is the possibility of storms but hey when that happens just head downstairs and relax with a game of pool or a nice drink, or even both!
I have to admit I love flying and I would never say cruise every year instead of flying to your favourite destination but going on a luxury cruise is nice every so often and with Regent Cruises (the one I went with) you are sure to have a better time than on an aeroplane.
