Flying?

.

How is it that 'Staycation" which previously meant staying at home and having days out has come to be holidays anywhere within the UK?

 

Do we actually need (particularly at this time) to get into a cramped polluting metal can to be thrown through the air (after queuing up in a busy airport) to sit under the same sun we left behind? As Alain de Botton said in The Art of Travel (paraphrasing) the problem he had was when he went on holiday he took himself.
