Why are long haul trips like airplane rides and bus rides so exhausting, even though all we do is sit?
In: Other
Airplane rides have a lot of extra happening before and after, even though the ride itself might be fairly relaxing. Bus rides I find exhausting because of how close you sit and the constant motion (and the fact that I get car sick if I read). Train trips however I always find very relaxing. No checking in of luggage, no sitting super close, not so much turning that I can’t read. So if I can pick – long distance train is always preferable.
In the case of planes, waiting in long lines, boarding the plane, sitting on the tarmac for who knows how long; it’s all a huge pain in the rear.
Constant motion , dehydrated recirculated air, shot loads of bacteria, forced to sit in uncomfortable positions the whole time. Shotloads of humans around requiring attention and stimulating visual field, and… you had to spend money on all that.
Planes are by far worse though.
