Lonely long flights and why I love them

Drinks on the flight

I always have enjoyed long solo flights. It may be boring for many. Lonely for others. But I have loved those. When I think about why I love these flights a lot, I have an answer. These flights force me to sit and idle. Usually, I am not at complete rest, except when I fall asleep. But in flight, you give up control. I do not read books or use laptop in the flight. Sometimes I watch the entertainment system in the screen in front of me. But for most part, I just idle. That level of idling is not possible in ground transport. The ground transport gives you more control. You can stop in the middle. You have control. But the lack of control in a flight lets you relax and recall the past memories. It almost feels like time-traveling, when you completely lose yourself to your own thoughts of the past. That is a nice feeling.
