Who else hates flying?

[Jabba The Slut]

I do. With a passion.

It's only a 90 minute flight and I still am already getting anxious. The plan is to stay up all night, pop 1.5mg of Xanax at 5:30am, and hopefully be passed out before our 6:00 takeoff.

Now that I dont have that 600 second time delay on when I can post, you can all expect to see much more of me this evening.

My wife's already there, and I dropped my dogs off at the pet hotel. So, it/s you guys and Call of Duty 4.

Please entertain me.

I love flying although I can't really afford it. At one point I was thinking about becoming a pilot.

My buddy used to be as afraid of flying as I am. He decided to take a few pilot lessons. He sleeps like a baby now on planes.

I hate him.

Last year around this same time my dad was on a buisiness trip down in Mexico, on his flight back one of the jet engines on a 747 (4 jet engines) blew up in mid-air. Like actually EXPLODED, huge bang, fire, smoke, all at 10,000 feet. They had to make such an extremely steep descend that the passengers all thought the plane was crashing. My dad told me that people were screaming around all crying and hugging their loved ones saying their goodbyes. Fortunetely they landed safetly at a small local airfield. He told me everyone was more scared of the landing than anything.

All my Dad got out of the experience was 1 free plane ticket and a paid for Grey Hound trip home

He hasn't flown anywhere since then and doesn't plan on it anytime soon



But like Lulu, I also love flying, i'll be taking a flight down to Miami in two days

I just don't like those fucks, putting their hands on me at the airport.

I didnt fly for 2 years after taking a flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles. The turbulence was horrible. We made an emergency landing in San Francisco. Turned out that we had a small hole in our plane due to a crane operator running into it before we took off.

I used to like flying. Now with the security is sucks.

The best flight I had was in Vietnam in the 1980's. They has old Russian jets that were literally falling apart. Their X-ray machine at the airport looked like something out of an old 1950's sci-fi movie. It looked like a microwave with a tiny screen and it vibrated. It would have been easier to simply open the carry-on and look for a bomb. The best part was the meal that was served. It was a roll. And it had crunchy things in it. Later, after eating bread for a few days, I found out all of the bread products had little crunchy things - they were bugs. No shit.

The best part of the tip was going to eat at a restaurant. We had 'chicken' which was actually pigeon, with the head still on it. They had cages on the roof that they would use to catch the birds too. It was a blast.

Fuck O'Hare.

Midway is the only way.

I love going to the airport to travel, but sometimes still get anxious. You will be fine with the Xanex!

I've not flown since 1986. The last flight I took, I had such horrible motion sickness and I was throwing up like crazy. I then had to drive from Ft Lauderdale to West Palm once off the plane and I got car sick for the entire 2 hr drive. I got on the plane to come back home and swore I would never fly again and I never did.
I'm hoping I can try again soon. I would love to be on a beach somewhere.

 

[digimon7068]

it ain't just flying. . .i don't like letting anyone else drive. . .

 

[biteme]

Me. Especially if the flight is 2 hours or longer. I have to medicate myself.

 

[BNG]

I've flown a lot on business and don't mind the flying part so much as the people around me.
The can make or break it. The security now is such a PITA that that I dread checking in. The way over fat people that they assign to a regular seat piss me off. I actually had a woman who asked me to keep the arm rest UP so she could spill into MY seat! I asked to be moved. At first the flight attendant told me she couldn't do it, then I told her how repulsive fat is to me and that I'd puke if I had to stay there. Not only that I paid for my seat. The whole thing, and I wanted to use the whole thing not share it with her. They moved me to first class and fed me free booze. I sound like an asshole about it but it pisses me off. They can either buy a first class ticket with the big seats or not seat them next to somebody. Something.
I think the guys with the "carry-on" that clearly is bigger than it should be should just have it taken away. The planes would load quicker and be on time. Action their shit off on ebay or throw it away.
Another is the uppity a-hole who's bitching about the crying baby. Nobody likes to hear them, but the mother isn't doing anything to cause it, and can't make them stop.

But other than that,....... flying is great!

I love flying, I just hate all the hassle of going to the airport.

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

65 minutes... Denver to KC and I'll loathe every second of it.

 

[sopac]

I like flying with the exception that I'm sitting beside someone who is so large that needs 2 seats and has a seatbelt extension. (happened to me coming home from san diego)

 

[musclemom]

I would get really uptight about it then I found the statistics of your odds of dying from various causes and realized that the odds of dying in a plane crash are WAY lower than dying in a car crash or even from falling down the stairs in my house, and I don't think twice about climbing in my car so I can't be in a plane for much longer than 3 hours though, g'damned kills my back.

I'm not looking forward to future flights with the security headaches. I fucking hate strangers touching my stuff, gives me the creeps.

I fly enough that I qualify for elite status and get free upgrades to first class. It definitely helps for domestic flights, but unfortunately, I'm still cramped in the sardine section for international flights. A flight to Africa can be 20 hours long, which isn't comfortable in one of those tiny seats.
