People watching – everybody does it. We even stopped a few travelers at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport to ask: What’s the best thing about flying?

I enjoy letting someone else take control in the air, and not having any responsibilities for the duration of the flight.

The moment I'm settled in my seat on the plane, all the stress comes off and I can simply sit back and relax.
JULI SPARFVÉN, writer
I like the liveliness of airplanes. So many different people travel together, excited about their destination.
MIKEL MARTIS, hairstylist
i love to fall asleep on the plane and wake up in a different place - especially Mallorca, one of my favorite destinations.
PETER BOT, retiree
Airplanes connect my hometown, Amsterdam, to my new home, Thailand. On the plane, I am always excited about whichever home I'm headed to.
ANYA NIE, student
I like flying because it takes me to new places and brings me new experiences. And I love watching the clouds out the window.
