Do It Yourself RV has posted an interesting article on eight reasons why RV travel is better than air travel.

Having done both myself, I tend to agree. Sure, you will get to a destination a lot faster by plane, but there's a lot of scenery that's missed. Why fly if one is not in a hurry?

It is also a matter of taste. One person may love air travel, while another detests it. The same goes with RV traveling. One may love it and another doesn't.

In my trips to Japan, I have chosen shinkansens (bullet trains) over commuter flying so I can see the countryside pass by my window, although prices are roughly the same (give or take).

Airlines have made bad headlines so far in 2017. United sparked a worldwide uproar after dragging a passenger off a flight, then shortly after, made the news again when a scorpion fell from the overhead bin and stung a traveler.

So the next time you’re planning a trip, consider hitting the road instead of catching a flight. These are just eight of the many reasons why you’ll be glad you did.
