For most people, flights are all about checklists, packing bags, reaching the airport on time, grabbing a quick bite, and hoping for no delays. It’s a routine, often rushed, rarely savoured. But then, there are a few who see flying very differently. For them, reaching an airport feels like stepping into a world full of possibilities. One of those people is actress Shefali Shah. She recently took to Instagram to pen her feelings about the joy of flying. For her, it’s so much more than just a means to travel. 

Shefali Shah Loves Flying And Sees Airports Differently

The Delhi Crime star, known for her impressive roles, Shefali Shah, recently shared something deeply personal on Instagram. She put into words her emotional connection with flying. To her, it’s not just a routine, it’s a magical moment that she looks forward to. While others may complain about long queues and cramped seats, Shefali feels “unadulterated excitement” every single time she boards a plane.

In her heartfelt post, Shefali described the entire journey: arriving early at the airport when the outside world is asleep but the terminal is alive, the little joys of checking in, making sure she has a window seat, browsing books and sipping coffee while waiting to board.

A Thoughtful Reflection On Flying In Today’s World

She doesn’t remember her first flight, but says the feeling it gave her is the same one she carries even today. And she finds magic in the smallest details: checking in her bags, confirming her window seat, buying coffee, browsing books, and watching the blinking lights on the runway.

In a world shaken by recent air travel tragedies, Shefali’s words carried a quiet reflection. She called it a “bizarre ongoing aviation pandemic” and admitted that it made her pause. In all her years of travel, it had never crossed her mind that a flight could be her last. Not because she takes life for granted, but because she flies with faith, with gratitude, and with joy.

Through her post, Shefali Shah reminds us to see flying not just as a way to reach a destination but as a moment to cherish, to be present in, and to feel truly alive.
