I love flying... the only thing I hate about it is that my ears get really bad with the pressure changes and shit... Usually after landing, my ears hurt for hours...

Horrified, I can barely breathe on a plane. Waiting in an airport makes me insane, and waiting on a plane makes me insaner. Flying is the pinnacle of insanity.

I flew into Chicago one time, and we flew over the downtown area with all the skyscrapers and stuff... it was really nice... but the airport in Chicago is one of the busiest in the world, and probably one of the biggest, and my brother was supposed to be there to meet us, but he was late... so here we were waiting around in this huge airport, wondering if he didn't go to the wrong place or whatever... it was kinda scary...

Take off and landing are a fantastic BUZZ !!!
I absolutely love the adrenalin excitement thing try to get near the window !!
mid-air is tedious, really time to kill.... 3 hours or more is painful.

yeah, the mid-air is tedious... until you hit an air pocket or something which is great fun... :)
You can bring along a cd player, but still, it's hard to hear it with the sound of the airplace and all... I listened to the whole of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis flying from Chicago to St John's... :)

tip> don't applaud when the plane lands safely.
I've seen it done.
You won't be able to leave the plane quick enough :D

flying is fun...
last time i flew back from america we were in an electrical storm and the plane was all over the place. it was scary at first, but i plugged in and it began to sort of be fun! It's like on a rollercoaster, when ur stomach goes! Was nice to finally land tho - 9 hours in a plane = not so nice!

Flying IS the safest way to travel - apparently. I don't have any fears of flying at all, I think its fantastic!
Even when it gets a bit bumpy - its just like being at the fun fair!! :)
Flying home to the UK last week from Toronto, I upgraded my ticket to first class (first time I have ever done that..) and I got treated like royalty!! :)

Like i said, the waiting to BOARD part is the most nerve racking for me...Plus I usually DRINK when flying or sleep...(or both) to calm me down....And I always have headphones.

good point.. I have felt closer to actually "flying" in dreams usually in a standing or sitting position floating up & down & over things
thats reaally cool (like Mary Poppins LOL ..)
when I dream of planes its usually some kind of fucked up/ scary scenario like having to land the thing on a crowded motorway

You don't have that privelidge when flying over the Atlantic though do you? Landing on a motorway!
Imagine you we lucky enough to survive the crash landing into the ocean - OK? The water around Greenland is just a bit chilly isn't it! I doubt you'd live!

The chances are so remote ! ! I watched a documentary about it. One pilot was being interviewed, and he said that he is more concerned about the drive from his house to the airport. He said the roads are full of lunatics (and dog killers...sorry Reflex) but when in the air, he was surrounded by professionals!
Flying is perfectly safe! Have a great time Ironlung!

I don't like the cheesy 'comedy' shows they show, when your on a 7/8 hour flight. You know what I mean, when there's not enough time to show 3 films. We watched 'The Majestic' and 'Oceans 11' last week, an episode of 'Spin City', 'Friends' and some shitty comedy show with practical jokes.
