What if there were no planes? Well, you wouldn't be able to visit your friends and relatives who live in other countries or even on other continents as often as you'd like to. Okay, it's obvious.

But do you know that without airplanes, there wouldn't be such a great variety of flowers in flower stores? You would mostly see local plants - nothing too exotic. Because, for example, about 80% of flowers sold in the UK come from the Netherlands! But the Netherlands, in turn, has flowers delivered by air from Ethiopia, Kenya, and other countries. Or have you ever wondered what would tourism would be like without airplanes? Lots of people would travel inside their home countries and traveling abroad would become something really memorable. Could we live without flights?
