Freiburg to Paris in about 3h, just went last weekend.

In the current political climate, border control is unfortunate becoming much more common. I had the border policy empty our bus and search everyone with dogs and half of us had to open our bags.

Ah, but only for normal plebs like you and me. If you fly private, you just show up at the hangar half an hour before takeoff and walk right in. TSA and waiting in the terminal are for peasants.

Once I flew to a city that’s about 6 hours away by car. Work was paying for it, and I figured it would be easier and less stressful to fly than to drive. A coworker drove instead. He left 2 hours after I left for the airport. After my plane arrived they were cleaning it out and one of the attendants hit his head and had to go to the hospital for stitches. I scrambled and was able to get on to another flight, although it took me about 2 hours into the opposite direction, where I then had to sprint from one end of the airport to the other. When I finally landed in my destination city my coworker had been there for over an hour. There was nothing easier or less stressful about that day.

That said, that was my worst experience flying, usually it is very easy - especially if I’m traveling by myself.
