I don't like heights, being in tall buildings totally freaks me out, but I love to fly

. When I fly I feel so relaxed. Not a worry in the world, and this is the only time I am not in control. It's kind of nice having somebody else in control once in a while


Are you afraid to fly? Or do you find it relaxing as I do?

I am scared shitless and must be drugged up on Valium to even get on the plane!!!!

I didn't use to be but now I am. I find myself very nervous at take off and landing and LORD HELP ME if we hit turbulence. I'm gripping the armrests of my chair so tight!!!

After the attack in New York 9/11. I had to take valium when I flew into New York. It was only months after the attack and I was afraid I was going to freak when and if I had saw the site .. But that was the only time. They do wonders

i used to be, but not so much anymore. i remember when i flew to washington, d.c. last year and looking out the window and being in awe of all the clouds and the occasional peek down on the ground, seeing all the houses and bodies of water.

I don't like heights, but flying does not bother me, you won't find me in a window seat though.

Flying is my job! I love it! my "office" has the best view ever!

Flying doesn't bother me. It's the whole public transit aspect of flying that I hate. Sick people, crying babies, pushy flight attendants, lines, security. YUCK!!

WoW! Awesome

Especially when travelling internationally, you've got to clear customs and then recheck your bags

CoJones said:

With all your complaints stax, Airlines deal with more bullshit than you know.

Why is it that if you're 30 min late you're screwed whereas if the bird is 30 min late, you just have to wait!

love flying
of coure there's always that fear of the unknown
but its like that with driving too

Some people say you never really get use to flying on a plane. There's always a little nervousness even if you've been on plane 10 times.

exactly

CoJones said:

Deal with it

luv4u said:

Yeah, yeah I know. A very good friend of mine is a flight attendant so I hear about it, plus I watch airline on bravo. I just want free alcohol on intl flts back, is that too much to ask?

I hate flying. I'll do it, but I hate it. I've had many crazy experiences on flights.

I had a friend that flew since she was 4 or 5. Her dad was a pilot for a major airline in the 70's. She has been on planes where stuff was flying off of the plane and she wasn't freaked out at all. I would be in an insane asylum.

I Just go to sleep on the plane. It's over before you know it.

CoJones said:

free alcohol on an airline, or even duty free alcohol causes trouble for the airlines. They have had to make emergency pit stops to have law enforcement deal with it for those that go rank when they get cut off.

The only time it was tough for me was just after a good friend of mine, Shane Kimmett, died in a plane crash.

I love flying but I have been a little nervous lately.
