Music for leaving on/to a flight?

The only song I can sadly come up with is John Denver's Leaving on a Jet Plane. Are there any other songs along that theme that you could/do listen to as you're in the car headed for a flight or waiting for the boarding door to close?

I found this old CNN link: http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/l...l-songs-046037

Something with a fast or exciting tempo to encourage passengers to move quickly.
