Flying somewhere usually means you need to get there either very quickly or it's the only way to get there. Now, everyone knows there is no place that's only accessible by air except for maybe some remote areas of Alaska or Africa that most people wouldn't be going to anyway. You could certainly take another mode of transportation such as a ship or train to just about anywhere.
But because most people don't have days, weeks or months to make a trip, it really does come down to speed and time. Air travel is quick and relatively cheap for the amount of distance that is covered in such a short amount of time. And for all of its inconveniences, and there are quite a few, it is probably one of the least stressful ways to travel.
Think about the headaches involved with taking a road trip of any distance of a couple of hundred miles. All of the things involved from prior to leaving such as ensuring that everything is in working order on the car, to packing all of the additional things that you will require while on a long road trip like snacks and entertainment, to having to concern yourself with locating gas stations that are open.
This is especially true if you have ever attempted to do the driving overnight. And just the lack of comfort that you experience while sitting in a car for a long time on end can be enough to discourage the trip right from the start. Now, for a long airplane trip you can use some of the same thinking as to why it is no fun and uncomfortable. If you're flying to the other side of the world like China or Australia, you are looking at practically a full day on an airplane.
The main difference is that you do not have to worry about the logistics and it's like having free time before you get there. Also, if you are going on a trip that far away, the plane is usually a larger model with more room and sometimes even room to maneuver around. You won't need to remain seated the whole time. You can move around the cabin, stretching out your legs and getting your circulation moving around. But you don't have to stop to do it. Also, everything that has to get done in order to get to your destination is done for you. You don't have to concern yourself with finding the best route or stopping for gas.
