There’s yet another way to get airborne. It’s big, fat, slow, and fragile, as well as the oldest form of human flight. Altho’ a gas balloon recently crossed the Pacific, the sample cruise you’ll have 
(for about $100) in a hot air balloon will be noticeably calmer. If the high-energy extremes of other forms of flight are a bit more than you need, consider meandering thru the skies with the clouds, your destination decided by the winds.

The traditional champagne bottle that awaits your landing dates back centuries to the earliest French flights; it was originally brought along to reassure potentially excitable peasants that the creatures from the sky were friendly. Or so say traditionalists.
