Advantages: Fast, Smoother than a boat and cheaper

Disadvantages: a stuffy nose on small planes after an hour

To Understand Flying is to realise how a boat works...Imagine you are on a speed boat and a large Ferry has just crossed your path...you see all this great White wave of water now coming towards your boat and the boat hits it and bam you get pushed up out of your seat for a second and a few mini bumps later and the water is smooth again.
Now the air is the same except you have to go faster accross it to stay afloat...
The good things about air compared to the Sea is that it is a heck of alot smoother than on a boat crossing and also quicker.
Next is people's fear's of an engine failing, a 2 engine plane can fly on 1 engine so do not worry...A Pilot will always fly the safer route more for the comfort of passengers, the actual aircraft will survive turbulence better than you could...for example this means, if you have your seatbelt unfastened when instructed to fasten due to turbulence, you could end up hitting the ceiling in very rare circumstances of which only a handfull have been recored...
But My point is...you will break before the plane does...and to be honest no person has "Broken" people have hit the ceiling and become unconscious but that was 1 in a million...and they survived...and normally you wont experience that...and 99% of pilots doing 200 flights a year for 30 years havent experienced that severerity...

Summary: Planes are the best
