Just imagine a world in which, almost overnight, the transport system breaks down. Flights across the world are cancelled, leaving thousands of travellers stranded far from home.
Airports are crowded with mobs of angry, frightened people. Even greater throngs descend on the railway stations, desperate to squeeze on to the horribly overcrowded trains.

Why get away? Stay at one place or other. Last COVID lock down I took a vacation in my living room.
Very true!
That might be the only methods afforded to is for travel soon.
The sociopaths in control seem hellbent to destroy everything.
Like Mr. Goodwrench said, “It’s not just your car, it’s your freedom.”
The left wants to degrade people.
“As with many other aspects of life, opportunity to travel appears to be creeping back to the pre-industrialized age where travel for pleasure was rare. Most humans throughout history only went at most 25 miles outside their place of birth. This travel chaos is just a preview of the Davos crowd wants to impose on us peasants.”
Besides travel for enjoyment this will cut into many people, who fly the commuter airlines often like a company jet.
They catch an early flight for an hour or so, then they are more than a day’s drive away, thanks to the planes. They rent a car at their destination airport, take a Uber or rent a car or some public transportation. Then, they work/consult/sell and then fly home and often in time for dinner at home or to watch a little league game.
Those of us who did these day trips often have changed jobs or companies during the time span of that day. Then, they did the same thing for a former or new competitor often with a nice pay increase and a better boss.
This created a job security for us who did this and that concerns the elites who own the corporations, we worked for.
Now, that economic job security may be gone forever.
Or maybe pilots, who lease their own planes will offer their services at a competitive rate.
“The whole reason the globalist psychopaths think they are above us is because they fly around in their personal jets and look down on the ant-people below with contempt for polluting the Walden paradise they deserve.”
I stopped getting on airplanes in 2004 and haven’t missed it one bit.
The nice thing about staying local is the outsider has to learn your environment, customs, language, etc.
Its the other way around if you’re a global tourist looking for a gold mine or a paradise in some exotic land.
Travel to facilitate demographic changes of western countries will continue apace, and increase.
“Most humans throughout history only went at most 25 miles outside their place of birth”
Not my family! We went from Europe to the USA starting in the 1850’s.
One of my Russian’s grandfather’s first job was an American WW1 soldier
That was after he went through the Bolshevik Revolution
They traveled like crazy to make a better life.
...and now:
Golden Age of air travel? That ended like 40 years ago.
Get a van like a Sprinter, an apartment on wheels that gets 20 mpg. We do rolling reunions with sightseeing. People are glad to see us, we park for free. I don’t miss air travel one bit.
The Golden Age of Travel ended on September 11, 2001.
Now, we can’t even take roadtrips. The future looks bleak with the Dems in power.
