Pros and Cons
Plane Travel
Pros:
- Fastest way to travel
- No traffic
- Can go over water or steep mountains
- Can take hundreds of people at once
- Plane crashes are very rare
Cons:
- pricy
- Hard to fly (and takes a lot more than other transport methods to get a license)
- If the plane does crash, there is a high chance everyone in the plane will die, due to it being so high in the air, and mostly above the ocean.
- Lots of CO2 put in the atmosphere
