We all like travelling to different places, but what is the best means of transport? To many
people the aeroplane is their first choice.
There are certain advantages to travelling by plane. Firstly, it is the fastest means of transport.
Planes are ideal if you want to travel to another country in a few hours. Also, travelling by
plane is comfortable. You can relax, read a book, listen to music or play your favourite games.
On the other hand, there are drawbacks to travelling by aeroplane. First of all, it's quite
expensive. Tickets cost a lot of money. Secondly, it is not environmentally friendly. Planes
cause a lot of pollution because of the large amount of fossil fuels they consume.
To sum up, there are arguments both for and against travelling by plane.
Although planes are fast, they are most suitable
for long distances. For shorter journeys, it is
better to use a form of transport that is cheaper and
causes less pollution
