Personal experience: the plane is the best mode of transport in the USA

The USA is a huge country. Since many Americans feel almost at home in Canada (and vice versa), and fly to nearby island resorts like the Caribbean, the territory of free access generally turns out to be vast. In this case, the only suitable transport is an airplane. In the US, domestic aviation is like having running water or lights in your home: an absolute necessity.

The domestic flight market in the United States is huge and very developed, with both commercial and private aviation at its best. The country has three major carriers that fly both across America and to other continents, and occupy first places in world rankings - United, Delta, Americantheir fleet is thousands of liners. There are many small airlines operating on the market, the number of sides of which amounts to hundreds, whereas the largest Ukrainian air carrier, UIA, has just 34 boards.

A large airport at rush hour is a dubious pleasure. But thanks to the introduction of protocols TSA Pre or Clear — services for confirming the adequacy of a passenger — the control procedure is noticeably simplified, it takes minutes, then there is a gate, where there are a minimum of formalities during boarding. Navigating within an airport in the US is much easier than in Europe.

In the US, you can really get almost anywhere in the country without any problems. In any, even provincial, airport for 5 minutes you can rent a car and get to the right place. In order to use all these services, no intermediaries, agencies are needed.
