What Do You Love And Dislike About Flying?

Aeroplanes....that is!

I love that thrust of the engine and the speeding up as the plane goes to take off!
I dislike the long wait at airports and turbulence!

What do you love or dislike about flying?

Getting off.
I used to love flying up until I was about 23/24.
Now I can't wait to get off.

It's been that long since I've been on a plane....must be 16yrs or more.

One goes on a plane usually to have a holiday don't they?

Only done it once (twice if you count coming back).

Seemed OK ... a bit boring after the take-off and seriously not good that OH suddenly got appalling earache and they couldn't do anything to help.

Re: What Do You Love And Dislike About Flying?

Just love everything about it, even being at the airport. I always aim for a window seat so I can enjoy the scenery (clouds and weather permitting).

Enjoy the in flight entertainment, the wonder of what the meal will be.

Don't like landing because it means the flight is over.

However...I have to confess to becoming tired and restless when on my way home from NZ-Singapore...because the last flight just went on and on and on, and I couldn't sleep. Can never understand travellers who don't book a stopover, to and from Australia and NZ, because they really are necessary.

Don't like being on a full and crowded aircraft.

One of my ex's never had any problems with his sinuses until he flew in a plane. Sheer agony all of a sudden for him. He said the pain was excruciating, and he wasn't a wuss.

I've suffered all my life with sinuses trouble, and flying never bothered them. Strange isn't it?

Aha

Late husband's father wanted to be a Pilot in WW2 but was turned down because of a sinus problem.

Late husband had no problems before we went on this holiday.
He'd lived in Beirut for a few years as a child/teenager ... no probs then.

We didn't dare try flying again
