For me, it's takeoffs. I voluntarily pay to sit on top of 380,000 pounds of fuel, someone flips an ignition, and I sweatily await the laws of physics to beat the laws of thermodynamics. I clap when we reach altitude -- instead of the other way around (landing gracefully like a bird).

Everything else is quite enjoyable. Including the inflight radio channel where you can listen live to air traffic comms; and then feel the pilot command the ship to it.
