What is a fun fact about air travel?

You know what’s absolutely wild about air travel? I mean, think about it – huge metal birds soaring through the sky, crossing continents… But get this: the shortest commercial flight in the world is barely longer than my walk to the mailbox! Seriously! It’s between these two tiny Scottish islands, Westray and Papa Westray – part of the Orkneys. The whole flight? 1.7 miles. Like, what?! Eighty seconds! I’ve microwaved burritos longer than that! Imagine taking off and practically landing before you’ve even adjusted your seatbelt. Isn’t that just nuts? I read somewhere – I think it was BBC travel, maybe? – that sometimes it’s even shorter if the wind’s at their back. Can you even picture that? It makes me chuckle just thinking about it. Makes you wonder what the in-flight service is like. A quick sip of water and a “See ya!” from the pilot? ????
