What Aspect of Travel Do You Dislike The Most ?

For me it's the hassle of going through an airport to catch a flight. All the walking that it can require, nearly having to strip off to go through security and all the hanging about. It makes you wonder if it's worth it.

Taking everything down stairs and packing the campervan, it's amazing how much stuff we seem to take with us

Other Travellers, they dont half complicate what should be a simple exercise.

One of the reasons I moved to Hungary is because I can explore the whole of Europe by car or train and there are so many exciting places to visit without having to go through the hassle of airports!

My pet peeves too. And the flight being delayed, especially if you are on a long haul journey

I can understand your frustration with all the hassle involved in air travel Alan, although I've never flown I've seen enough at airports and heard enough stories to put me off it for life, anytime I traveled to the UK (and that's as far afield as I ever got) I went by boat and train, I like it on the boat, plenty of space to move about. I love train travel and go all over the country by train, can't stand coach travel either.

Re: What Aspect of Travel Do You Dislike The Most ?

I don't mind the airport ,going through the rig morale,walking what seems like a mile through corridors,I do get tense at the security, and thats when i almost get a panic attack,...one time i didn't put my tray of things on the rollers to come through the x ray machine ,I stood for what seemed a lifetime ,my pass port was on top and idid not want to loose that .I started to go back. To put it on ,Security started shouting at me ,STOP Do not go any further,but my legs were doing their own thing ,they were taking a stride.More shouting. At me and i froze,,When i heard a butch woman's voice behind me,she could not have been any closer ,she was almost on my back.After explaining she put the tray on the rollers and i got my stuff .
But the worst part of travelling is the Motorway getting to the airport ,Hate it ,all that traffic ,all going at a manic speed.
