I'm not sure why I'm bringing this up in a thread where a guy is scared of flying....
Per kilometre traveled flying is much safer than driving. Per hour in the vehicle driving is safer from some of the stats I've seen. So if you want to get from point A to point B, flying is the safest way to do it, while if you just want to spend X hours traveling then driving is the way to go.
