Which do you prefer? Travel by water or by air? Airplane or ship? If you'll ask me as much as possible I'd rather travel by water because the chances of survival is huge than by air. Most of us can swim and float but obviously not all of us can fly. When you hit the ground from a crash the impact is stronger compared when you sink, its slow and you still have time to escape or find a way to survive. Life boats are a lot easier than parchutes. For crying out loud, I'm afraid of heights. Lol.

I feel comfortable in travelling through air because i feel nausea when i travel through water but that is not case with air as it is something different experience when you fly when man has to die he will die what if thunderstorms hit while you travel in water? the same happens when you travel in air what if the place which you get sink is the place where large fishes like dolphins and whales live??

i prefer by ship, because i can see the scenes pass by, and enjoy the fresh air.actually no matter what's kind of transport, the most important thing is i am on the way, i have a lot of hope to expecting my woderful trip, and expect what will happen on my way.

I get sea sick so the boat is out and I prefer airplane becuase it is faster to reach a destination.Well,I always tried not to think too much of what will happen.Let it be.

I prefer travel by air. When my mother came over from Denmark on the boat in 1957 she said the voyage took an entire week, and they all got seasick! When I went to Denmark 18 years ago, I went by air, and it only took about 8 hours, No one on the plane got sick. I absolutely love flying, and presently fly between Toronto and Phoenix, on a regular basis.

i have tried travelling both by air and water only once..i've enjoyed both but i think i enjoyed travelling by water more because there's more thrill. aside from having more options on what to do, i think you could appreciate more the experience of going to your intended destination. but maybe it also depends on the length of your travel. for local trips, i think i would prefer to travel by water but for going international i think i'll choose to ride a plane or a jet if i have tha chance..haha.

i prefer to travel by water. i so love the sea breeze and how it makes me feel sleepy, relaxed and calm. i like traveling slowly because i much more feel the essence of doing so. i'm afraid of heights too, so i guess that's one factor why i prefer traveling by water.;-)

By air, this is because i am fascinated by flight, the ability to touch the clouds and gaze upon the wondrous earth at a bird's eye view is worth risking my life for. However planes are getting safer and safer. Fact "The number of people that is killed my camels each year is more that the amount of people that is killed in plane accidents." Also by air, i save time, planes shorten the whole journey by at least ten times the time needed via water so i can get to any location faster.

I aspire to become a pilot. Definitely, I prefer air over water. Fishing is the most dangerous job in the whole world, I don't actually think your chance of survival is really as big as you think, when you sink like, in the middle of the ocean? Airplanes are actually alot safer than most people think, and that there are just too many safety precautions. I have checked once before, but the number of ships that sunk every year is more than twice the amount of airplanes crashing. Good luck to those who think you are able to hold onto a lifeboat. People who sink beside you will try to get on, how will you respond when you realize the lifeboat may sink with another person's weight? (I won't say there aren't any risks using parachutes, but yeah, it's there for everyone to see.)

You can't say the level of survival is high in water. What if you are crash by waves taller than the buildings? Do you think you get away with it? I don't think life boats can handle that too. Also in air, if you can't equalize your breath in mid air, your body will suffer the pressure. So I think time will tell whether you can escape in a situation like this.

Of course by air for long travels and international travels. Travel through air is faster and more effiicient. But it is far more expensive. And base on stats, travel by air is the safest way to travel. And I love to travel by air!

i prefer air because of time constraint. i want to fly like a free bird. i also want to go by water because it will be new experience for me. i will try if i have enough time to enjoy my vacations.

I prefer to by air, because I think it is faster than by water, so that can save my time and I can make more money in the time I saved

Both water and air transportation are risky but yeah you right there is a great chance to survive in the water but the sad thing is i dont know how to swim and I dont want to be eaten by the sharks but if we talk about survival then ship is still got big chance but I rather prefer plane and I dont know why.:-0 Lol

for me the boat is safer in the event of an accident you can swim,while if precipitated by air, there is little chance of survival

By water of course, even if i dont know how to swim I still think my chances in surviving with a lifeboat is greater than an airplane crashing and trying to get off with a parachute. What if you landed on an amazon forest, in a swamp and an aligator is ready to devour you. That's scary. I'd rather get eaten by a shark in the ocean than get eaten by a strange creature in a scary swamp.

its not like i prefer to travel by water but it always worked out for me, im kind of used to it already since i entered College. also, if im travelling with friends, i surely will pick to be on a Ship so that we could double our time together. twice the laughter, twice the fun :)
