"Airline travel is hours of boredom interrupted by moments of stark terror"
- Al Boliska
About this Quote
This quote by Al Boliska speaks to the experience of airline travel. It suggests that most of the time spent on an aircraft is spent in a state of dullness, with just brief minutes of intense fear or terror. This could be analyzed in a couple of ways. First of all, it could be referring to the physical experience of flying, where most of the time is invested in a confined seat with little to do, and just brief moments of turbulence or other unexpected events that cause fear. Additionally, it might be describing the mental experience of flying, where the anticipation of the unknown can cause worry and stress and anxiety, although most of the time is invested in a state of monotony. In either case, the quote speaks with the special experience of airline company travel, and how it can be both mundane and scary at the exact same time.
