I think that's brilliant personally. But no-one is forced to fly anywhere.
It truly is remarkable. Having lived 15 minutes from LCY and living 15 minutes away from SIN now I'm still impressed I can get to most urban places in the world within 24 hours via plane.
Trains don't really do that as efficiently - even getting from Aberdeen to London you'll have to catch the train before 1pm else you're not gonna reach same-day.
