Do you hate flying?

When you take out the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the trip, you have a better chance of winning the Lottery jackpot than you do crashing on a developed country's airline.

It is much less likely and less painful than a major car carsh. do you fear that every time you drive?

I enjoy flying. A great way to travel the world quickly. I'm a firm believer when your time is up it's up. Whether in a car, boat, walking, sleeping or on a train. I want to know when my time is up. JMHO.

relax, you don't need drugs.)

I hate flying, I'm not bothered if it crashes because you are going to die if that happens. I hate the loss of control and the fact that I've got to sit in one place for most of the day. I get tranquillisers from my doctor that knock me out for the whole trip. When we land I feel refreshed and ready to go. It's the only way to travel.

Nope, I love flying, I wouldn't get on a plane until two years ago because I was so terrified of what might happen, but my friend in Dublin was involved in a bad car crash and my only option of getting there was by air, I so wish I had got on a plane years ago now as I love it, been to Australia twice this year and would fly every single day if I could.

i am terrified of flying...i don't know why...i guess i hear to many bad things about flying

Think of it this way,

If your plane is going to crash you will usually have about 20 seconds of free-falling out of the sky, this will give you a weightless felling and would feel like the best roller coaster ride you have ever been on. 20 seconds later you would slam into the ground and it would be all over, no pain.

Enjoy the ride I say.

Just on a note, when your next flying â€“ be sure to sit BEHIND the wings, if you get sucked out you donâ€™t want to be sitting in the front, youâ€™d be sucked into the engine. lol

Seen it all before

yes i hate flying
it is a bit like a white knuckle ride for me
but it is a necessry evil if i am to travel any great distance

I hate flying too. If I do have to fly I go to the doctors and get some beta blockers. These work well for me. I hate confined spaces and feel this plays a big part in my fear.

I am going to tell you something (my opinion)

You have a negative personality.

If you always think negative your going to have negative things happening to you. If someone tells me something negative guess what I DON'T LISTEN because I want to be positive. I want to have a good happy life.

No, I love it. I remember my first flight though. It wasn't helped by my mum trying to holdd my hand and my dad commenting that if we don't take off soon, we'll end up in a hedge.

If it makes you feel any better, it's been proven that unless you were extraordinarily unlucky, you'd have to fly non-stop every day for your entire life to actually crash. Planes barely ever crash. Think about how many planes take off each day. How many crash? Probably about 0.0000001%. Stop worrying!

Only becausd it is so boring. I have done so many long haul (12+ hrs) flights & there is a bizarre phenomenum in which time when you are flying goes at half the speed to normal time so a 12 hour flights feels like 24!

Im absolutly terrified of flying! It just seems unatural to me, I have to take valium when i fly or i wouldnt do it !! Hate the thought of everything being out of my control and my life is out of my hands. I avoid flying when i can.

flying doesn't bother me at all but my husband is petrified of it and will not fly for love nor money
its actually safer to fly than to drive a car or take a bus

Dangermanmi6

I did on the first flight after I was grounded, I was a little nervious about sitting in the back of the bus instead of driving it but that was more of knowing that I wouldn't ever be driving the bus again. Flying is reasonably safe way to travel its just that when a plane or train or bus crashes it is big news and we hear about it and go "Oh my God!", but really most people run a greater risk on the way to or from the airport than they do flying.

Well I have never been in a plane...but when I think about it, it would be exciting!!

ginoguarino

There is more chance of you being killed getting to the airport. Lighten up!

I also loathe flying and especially take off and landing. I have at least two full blown panic attacks on every flight. Bachs Flower Remedies "Rescue Remedy" does help a bit. I was on a return flight from Zante in 2005 and it nearly landed and then got hit by violent turbulance and had to take to the skies again (horrific) and the feeling of being out of control and thinking I was going to die, will never leave me. I also have a recurring dream and I am watching a plane take off. It gets high into the sky and then plummets to the ground and explodes - horrible nightmare. I had the dream just this morning, prior to alarm going off. You have my profound sympathy. I think fear of flying impacts most profoundly on control freaks (like me!)

Im with u i hate it. I would go with the sedatives def...

I HATE flying, but I love travelling. I go to my doctor and get a pill that helps - I think it's an anti-anxiety pill. I take as many as I need, but it doesn't make me completely groggy or anything. It really helps though.

bubbles

I'm only scared in the beggining..I think takeoff is scariest. But when you are up there it's boring. THe turbulence kind of scares me. I love it when they smile at you and when they say now landind, because that means that very soon you'll be on the ground!

Woosie

Just have a few drinks before you board and you'll be OK. That's what I used to do when I was younger.

I used to hate flying but know I just see it as a means to an end. Besides you have more chance being killed in your car than in a plane crash. Sorry, but it's true.

Take care.

never have flown,,, but i am in may and im lookin foward to being high in the sky!

CaptainRowdy

Spend a few extra $/Â£ and book a business lounge. Get hammered on double bloody Mary's and u'll be fine

Flying is OK. I use the time to read and do sudoku or whatever else I don't usually have a lot of time to do.

Do you drive cars or ride in them sometimes? The possibility of having a car crash is much higher than being involved in a plane crash.

I wouldn't want to be sedated for the flight because when you land you have to be by your senses to get around the airport and either get to your connecting flight or collect your baggage and get to where you need to go.

Don't worry! Nothing is going to happen. Just take along some good music (only listen to it when it's allowed) and/or a good book and you'll be back on the ground before you know it.

tombollocks

There are only two things I despise in regards to flying:

1. The lines
2. The small seats (I'm tall)

Oh, wait, one more:

3. Stinky people. There should be a law against letting them board the plane!

gayman

OMG YES. But I LOVE to go places. I just tough it out, say all my goodbye's (in the event i dont make it), and pray! lol

So i sleep a lot

Dont mind at all and i have a trachea.My wife and i go at every chance.But i do agree its boring and if i could id want the take off and landing,but sleep the rest
