Nowadays, more and more people are travelling by air due to lower costs and a greater variety of destinations. While ease of air travel has many benefits to mankind, unfortunately there are some drawbacks as well.
One of the biggest benefits is the ease to which we can get to faraway destinations; within hours we can be in different countries and experiencing different cultures. In addition, cheap air travel has given many less well-off people opportunities to travel abroad . Furthermore, the extra employment opportunities provided by the aviation industry has benefited the global economy.
On the other hand, air travel is not without some drawbacks. Perhaps the major drawback is the adverse effects it has on the environment due to the amount of pollution that planes generate. Another drawback is the effect that air travel has on our bodies. Long journeys can dehydrate us and moving between time zones quickly causes jet lag, which takes a number of days from which to recover.
In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages to modern-day air travel. However, I believe that the benefits for society far outweigh the drawbacks.
