Airplane travel used to be terrible, but not anymore. The security lines move quickly and they have enough staff to keep the wait times down. There are tons of good restaurant and drink options within airports and the prices are pretty much the same as in the city. Phone chargers everywhere and free wifi is standard. Airline tickets have come way down. I actually like taking short flights now where I may have chosen to drive the same route in the past.
In general, I strongly disagree, but:
"Airplane travel" - depends on airline, aircraft type and seat
"Security" - depends on country, airport, time of day and TSA status in the US
"Airports" big variance here, and again it depends. Terminal B at LGA is shameful compared to places like Seoul or Singapore, and have less amenities to many municipal airports I fly in/out of.
