> On planes, the captain will often invite you to, “sit back and enjoy the ride”. This is confusing. Enjoy the ride? Enjoy being trapped in a pressurized tube and jostled by all the passengers lining up to relieve themselves because your company decided to cram in a few more seats instead of having an adequate number of toilets? Aren’t flights supposed to be endured?

Wait, is liking to fly actually that unusual?

I had this same reaction! All of the process of getting to and from the airport, and through security, etc, isn't my favorite. But once we're actually flying, I find the ride itself kind of soothing.

I do too,kind of, but I don't like the atmosphere / air in planes; too dry, smelly, too warm and too cold at the same time, there's just something environmentally "wrong" in planes. Maybe that's just a matter of getting used to it though.
