Some of the world’s most famous minds have spoken of the attributes of travel, so I’ve taken it upon myself to assemble some of my favourites here below. I couldn’t agree with them more.

Robert Benchley

“In America there are two classes of travel – first class, and with children.”

Terry Hanson

“Now I know why they tell you to put your head between your knees on crash landings. You think you’re going to kiss your ass good-bye.”Mignon McLaughlin

“Whenever we safely land in a plane, we promise God a little something.”

Carl Burns

“A child on a farm sees a plane fly by overhead and dreams of a faraway place A traveler on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of home.”

James Michener

“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home.”

Orson Welles

“There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.”

Spanish Proverb

“Two great talkers will not travel far together.”

Sir Vivian Fuchs

“If you actually look like your passport photo, you
aren’t well enough to travel.”
