If you obtain a private pilot's license, then you can fly yourself and a friend or two, depart from a small local airfield, and not have to worry about the "airline monkeys" trying to destroy your luggage because you load it in the aircraft yourself.

PS: A high-wing aircraft and a scattergun might give your friend the option of hunting a few drones along the way.    Wink

And black plastic guns are often cheaper than our single-shots,  so...      Grin
