Air Travel

Summary

The web content reflects a writer's dissatisfaction with modern air travel, contrasting it with a fantastical preference for dragon-riding as a mode of transportation.

Abstract

The author expresses frustration with the current state of air travel, citing TSA hassles, mask requirements, flight cancellations, and high costs, comparing the experience unfavorably to a root canal. They then fantasize about an alternative means of travel: riding a dragon. This dragon is described as a majestic, five-story, fire-breathing creature with blue and green scales and a golden saddle. The author imagines this mode of travel as a way to rekindle their love for exploring new places without the associated stress and depression of contemporary air travel. The piece concludes with a prompt from "Paper Poetry," inviting readers to engage with their own imaginative writings, and includes a call to action for readers to join Medium for full access to articles, including the author's work.

They believe that traveling on a dragon would be a preferable, more enjoyable experience.
The writer suggests that the joy of visiting new places is currently overshadowed by the challenges of air travel.
The author values the freedom and adventure that the fantasy of dragon-riding represents.
There is an implicit endorsement of Medium as a platform for readers to access a wide range of stories and support writers directly.

Air travel has become such a pain TSA, masks, canceled flights, huge cost I would rather go to the dentist for a root canal So hard to get from one place to another

Travel would not be a problem if I had my dragon A big five-story fire-breathing monstrosity Blue and green scales with a golden saddle Whenever I wanted to go

Flying at my command Back to enjoying my love of unknown places Without having to overcome the depression of getting there I hop on, kick my heels, and leap into the sky
