Better by land or air transportation?

For me to travel between islands is more practical with the plane, just could not really have privacy because no matter how we use public transport which have their own rules. With a private car does feel more tired but all at their own risk. Moreover, if bringing children fewer than five, along the way we should be ready with the possibility of such fuss; or vomiting. Not to mention the child is trying to come hold the steering wheel while the car was road. It will make the situation quite depressing. But such a situation it should be enjoyed, when the move will create a warm and wonderful moment to be remembered is not it?

If the country I travel in has a train service I will enjoy going on that because it is my favorite sort of transport. In some countries there is only one train track or there is a train service but I might not be anywhere near it. In Europe there is an excellent train system. In Australia there is a train service covering much of that country. When I was in New Zealand it was sad to see the one of the train discontinued. In the a country like Greece going to ferry. I go on a plane for a long haul trip and this summer I flew from London to Vancouver Return. Going by train will always be my favorite way to travel and I like traveling my bus half as much. Traveling by air I put up with because traveling is my top hobby. I can see more from the ground level if I go by train.

Hi, For travelling, I prefer by air transportation if possible. Although it may cost more,but then it save my time and I can reach the destination faster and get my things done in shorter time. Especially with small kid tagging along, travel by air is better. I don't really like to travel by land,it is more dangerous and it take longer time to reach the destination.

I live on an island and I totally get you - the plane is more convenient than using cars on ferries, moneywise. But if you're young its ok. I like to travel on public stuff- you meet a lot of people.

If I need to get somewhere really fast - then it's better by air. I simply don't have time to drive. But if it's for leisure, I have time to spend and the place is accessible by land, I would probably choose by land. I can enjoy the view along the way. I don't really like buses but car and train sound like a nice idea.

Depending on the distance, I might prefer to drive if possible. The hassle of going to the airport, check in, clear customs, etc, can be a turnoff at times. Beside, while driving, there are more things to see.
