My family has always travelled a lot, and airplane trips were fairly common but still a big deal. I'm not sure why, but I decided that airplane tickets were just about the most expensive things you could buy, costing several thousand dollars. It never occurred to me to wonder why, if they cost so much, we took so many plane flights.
