Enjoy.
true, and remember the safety statistics of modern commercial flight and the structural integrity of modern aircraft.

per mile traveled it is statistically (still) the safest mode of transport. (airline travel, not general aviation)

when is the last time you heard of an airliner having a mechanical failure and ditching in the pacific on those 14 hour flights to hong kong.

millions of flights year after year after year.

riding a bicycle is more risky.
