Do you Like to fly?

I love to fly.

I was checking Southwest to see how much it will cost to fly to Austin from here and they had 2 option for same price.

I would have chosen to fly to Dallas and then onto Austin instead of direct flight from here to Austin. Reason being - I love take offs and landings.

I was curious of how others on here think of flying.

I like to fly. However, after a New Years day flight where it seemed our pilot was either drunk or hungover, my husband refuses to get on a plane.

Turbulence is the best part! I think it's fun, especially when I can watch the wings flex up and down!

I love flying, minus the turbulence. The best part of flying is when the plane approaches down to a city at night time and you're able to see the lights from all kinds of places. That part is just beautiful and it's one of my favorite part of why I like to fly. Also, When the plane takes off and lands, it's awesome to feel the rumble coming from the plane.

The only thing I hate about flying is, the seats are a little bit crowded because I'm a little bit tall. The back of the seat that is front of me will tend to bang up on my knee, grrr.

Yeah ofc I like to fly, but besides the hassle of security checkpoints, and the limited seating rooms in the coach cabins. Sometime air travel can be a hassle.

I went through turbulence before but its not too bad it's part of flying. I do get ear pops sometimes in the air.

Makes no sense as the odds of being killed are more likely being on the road than flying.

Well, God did give us a brain to figure out how to fly. If he didn't want us to fly, He wouldn't have given us all the means to fly.

I hate to fly..I am terrified of heights and I dont like the idea of being in a metal tube thousands and thousands of feet in the sky. Makes me too nervous but I fly often regardless.

I had to fly to New Orleans a month after 9/11. Now, imagine how nervous all the passengers were at that time. Everyone looked so strained.

OH yes! I do love flying! Been on the planes many times, little ones and big ones. I even steer a light plane up in the air too.

Ya know, when my family and I had to go to San Diego from San Antonio in January 2002, I was young like 13, as I was getting on the plane, I saw one of the passengers dressed like an arab, it freaked me out and scared until we landed in San Diego. ha


And I love to fly but to get though the security checkpoints are the pain in the ass.

I enjoying flying when it takes me to places that I want to go in less time than traveling on the roads. But I don't fancy the restrooms on the plane nor the food. Ugh

Yeah, I know. It's just that I definitely do not care for flying in an airplane. I almost have to sit on the pilot's lap every time I HAVE to fly!
