Travelling (lentokoneella) can be a nerve-racking experience if you don’t have the right attitude towards it. First of all you will have to accept that it will probably involve a lot of queuing.
Security check is always an exciting situation. Even people who have nothing to be nervous about get nervous in those situations. ‘Will the gate peep? (Jätinkö) some liquids in my handbag? Is lip gloss a liquid? Oh no, my bra has underwiring!’ Sometimes (Sinut viedään/otetaan) aside for a more thorough swipe with a traffic control sign look-a-like metal detector. You might get patted down by the officer asking you if you have any sharp objects on you. ‘Only my brain’, might not always be a good answer.
There could also be delays. And (pahimmassa tapauksessa) your flight might get cancelled altogether. Standing behind you in the queue could be a person (joka) constantly keeps complaining about how slow the queue is moving and bumps on your heels with his or her baggage. On the plane you could be sitting behind a longhaired person whose ponytail ends up on your tray, or behind you there could be a toddler who kicks your seat (aina silloin tällöin/vähän väliä) during your 5-hour flight. At this point you might be thinking ‘If only (minulla olisi ollut) enough money for a business class ticket’.
People have been commercially flying (1900-luvun alusta asti). I wonder what the passengers had to endure back then. In comparison to that your flight should be a walk in the park. Sometimes things do go as planned — at least they did (toissaviikolla), I hear.
