人人都知道坐飛機既危險又花錢。但沒有什么比坐飛機旅行來得更快捷更舒適了。在3萬英尺高空的云層之上，以超過500英里的時速旅行是很令人愜意的。你可以舒舒服服地深深地靠在扶手椅上飛行幾個小時。真正想擺脫俗務的人在旅途中能享受些服務，看一出免費電影，或者是啜飲香檳酒。即使沒有這么高檔的享受，也有許多辦法讓你打發時光。在飛機上你可以看到不同尋常、令人驚詫的世界風景。你毫不費力地飛過高山和深谷。你真切看到大地的形狀。如果你看不到風景，你也可以欣賞到非常特別的、無邊無際的云海，在你的眼前延綿數英里，太陽在晴朗的天空上發出耀眼的光芒。航程非常平穩，你可以安心閱讀和睡覺。[4]不管你怎樣安排你的時間，有一件事是確定無疑的：你將會精神煥發、毫無倦意地到達目的地。
