L44-2: Speed andcomfort
By comparison,ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You canstretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting peopleand enjoy good food -- always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If itis not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse.Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relativelyfew people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure oftravelling by sea. Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and evenhardened travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage ofbeing an expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed andcomfort. Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and atover 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to deviseways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to yourdestination rapidly.
