I voted I don't like the airport and planes because there's too much security and pretty boring. The only thing that are so good benefit from the planes is that it was the most fastest transportation available. But just beware, try to not eat too much before or during riding the plane because you will sit all the time and it will hurt your stomach because of foods in your stomach, sometimes I have to go to bathroom to fart alot.

I agree. I don't like the turbulance. I also am not keen on taking off and landing. It doesn't freak me out, but at the same time, it's not pleasant for me, either.

I understand how do you feeling. Do you know why there is too much security?? Because of Terrorist. Remember 9/11? That's why our America want to be protect this country. In United Kingdom alert to all the countries and not use a liquids on plane. They banned all the liquids because of Terrorist attacked to United Kingdom. That's why! This is strict the law and government. I am sorry if you think plane is boring. Just look the land and nice view the earth.
I never have problem with bathroom. It was my last time trip to home from San Antonio, TX last 4 years ago. Quote:

I love flying...it's really neat feeling.
My fav is taking off...I just love the speed when it takes off and I like seeing the city down below getting smaller and smaller until we're up above the clouds. I really dispite landing...it hurts my ears every single time...the worst one was the landing to New Orleans in 2005, I have just recovered from a cold and Dad & I were going to New Orleans for CI conference where I can tell them my exprence with CI...anyways back to the topic, as we were decending to land New Orleans, I was littering crying my eyes out into my Dad's chest because the pain was so extreme and I couldn't stand it. People around us were asking my Dad if I was alright. He just told them that I just recovered from cold and therefore landing makes it harder on my ear due to ear pressure. Another thing...the sercitery is kinda pain in the ass....but I can endure it... But the trick is to chew gum or suck onto Starburst whenever we land. The most recent trip was in April going to Disneyworld for 15 days and that was awesome. I've been flying ever since age of 2 and I love to travel...it's my fav thing to do. Preston doesn't really like flying but he'll fly to travel to places he wants to go. Heck he already been to Europe and Middle East...Lucky him. I only been to Mexico and most part of United States. We travel frequently in this family...My son has already been on flight 10 times and he's only two. I look forward to going to Hawaii in June 2009 with my Husband for three weeks...how exciting!!!

Jolie77 - I love the view out of the window to see the city lights! I will be seeing some more when I fly out to Gold Coast in two weeks time!
I love seeing the view of Sydney City, that's why I like catching flights from Sydney instead of Canberra and they are cheap too. I enjoy catching the flights, but sometimes aware about the 9/11 thing but I believe it is all in the past now noticing that the security is very strict here. I hope the security is stricter in USA.

Also, They will request you to put your checked baggage at a location somewhere nearby the check-in area where they have a huge x-ray machine to scan any bombs, chemicals, etc. I remember I had a strange experience with the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) at the airport 3 years ago. I was following the procedures as I was told to do so. I took my flip-flops, carry on bag, coins and keys in the bin and walked through the metal detector. For some reason it beeped. So they asked me to step aside and they proceeded to use the hand wand to scan me. They didn't find anything on me and the next thing they did was to ask me to sit down and to lift my feet. They even scanned the bottom of my bare feet. At that moment, I thought it was odd to have my bare feet being scanned by the hand wand. I was thinking, Uhm... my foot is bare and what more could it be to this? However, it dawned on me that it is possible someone could put a pin or something on the sole of the feet (yes it'd be crazy but yeah, one could do it). Anyhoo, If you're flying to Sydney and landing there at night time, Please do take some pictures because I'd love to see it!

I used to have to take medication to knock me out before a flight--that's how freaked out I was about it. Then after 9/11, I flew twice within 6 months. Now, within the past couple of years, I haven't needed the meds. I'm only a little tense during takeoff. I'm more nervous about the car trip to the airport. I keep wondering if I'll remain this calm about flight forever, so I just take it one trip at a time.

I want to tell you what my hubby did recently when he
was flying from here NY to Texas to visit his daughter and family. It was the first time he went thru the security with his pacemaker and he has a card that he is supposed to show the security people to prove that he has a pacemaker implanted, well, sillyazz decided to not to do it! He was curious to see what it does without showing them the card, well..the dang alarms went off (ofc!) and really scared him and the guard! He said...oh, oops, i forgot to tell you that i have pacemaker.. Oh boy! the guard got pissed off! and told him not ever, ever do that again! It could cause real problems for his pacemaker! Geez, i told him what a sillyazz he was..lol! They took him thru a manual check..and let him thru. He said he will not ever do that again...haha, that will teach him! |

I had my first airplane flight when my family and I were going to Florida to go to disneyworld for 4 days on my Fall break from school that lasts from Thursday to Monday or Tuesday. And I was so nervous about flying because it was my first time. So when we took off, i began to love it. So I love flying now. I haven't rode another flight..I want to again though lol

I love to fly as well. Flew internationally. Sydney to Bangkok, Los Angeles, Florida, New York, Denver, London, Singapore, Auckland, Queenstown.
Airplanes are generally much safer thousand times over than driving a car. |

I personally dont like to fly because I dont like to not be in control. If something happen to airplane while you re riding in it, you can't do anything but pray that you wold get out alive. I rather to drive car bc I can drive out of danger or airbag would save my life more than plane crash.
But sad, sometime I have no choice to fly

Before I received my CIs, I hated to fly. Since I couldn't see or hear to communicate (except by print on palm), airport staff would physically move me through the metal detector and I wouldn't understand what was happening.
Now that I have CIs, fying is a more pleasurable experience. I feel more in control and don't have to worry about communication being an issue (unless I'm traveling to St. Paul, Minnesota -- their airport has all kinds of PA announcements which make it difficult to hear.)

I've done the online check-in.
All is left for me to do is... finish packing my bag, go to work, go to a friend's place, get dropped off at the airport, drop my luggage off, go to the gate, wait for the boarding call, board the plane, find my seat, wait until the plane takes off and I'll be the air ^_^ Woot woot! |
