I'm  currently  sitting at  the  airport.  I've already  gone  through
security  and am  waiting now  for boarding  which is  scheduled in  a
little less than one and a half hours.

I'm  flying to  my parent's  place, but  not for  Christmas. They  are
visiting us,  but are not  comfortable at the  airport, so first  I am
flying to them and then on Sunday we are going to fly back home.

The airline  I'm flying with  today will shut  down its base  here, so
maybe there  won't be  any direct  flights next  year. Whenever  I was
flying with  them the planes  were always full,  but I know  there are
other factors involved in this decision. It will also be a setback for
the airport.

No, I am not ashamed that I am flying. It's not like I am flying every
week, it's rather only one or two  occasions in a year. I'm sorry, but
even with waiting 2 hours at  the airport the journey takes only maybe
40% of the time  as it would take by car or train.  And as I am flying
low-cost and only with one rucksack the price is comparable to that of
a train  ticket. But it  saves me a  lot of time  I can spend  with my
family.
