missus used to be terrified of flying, but after me dragging her around the world every couple of months she seems to have got over the worst of it. Still needs a stiff drink before each flight though.

I'm not very enthusiastic, but have never let it stop me going anywhere. Mines different though it's not the flying bit i worry about, it's the crashing and burning bit i'm not keen on.

Flying doesn't bother me, if anything I find it boring.
I was once on a flight that started leaking in water when it started raining. When asked the stewardess said it was normal, we landed safely but I still don't believe that leaky planes are normal.
My worst experience though was sat on a short haul plane when a fat family boarded with a macdonalds each, the fat cunts stunk the plane out for the whole trip.

Definately not, i know loads of people who hate it.
My Bro in law wont go on hols at all he would rather go fishing for 2 weeks than get on a plane.
We gave a friend of mine valium before he come to Thailand with us as he was shitting himself about the flight. That chilled him right out, maybe too much in fact as he nearly missed the flight due to walking around aimlessly in duty free like a spazzo.

I quite like flying, but only have 2 short haul trips this year so its not as bad.
The only time I was a bit freaked out was when the plane came to land at Heathrow few years back and suddenly swooped back into the air as there was another plane already on the runway!

I wish they would just hurry up and tell me whats happened to this air France plane - Ive just been sat in the office discussing whether you would rather die on a Hijacked plane or just a straight crash!!!

One of the American guys I work with is very large, huge in fact, to the point that whenever he takes a flight he has to book and pay for 2 seats, just to be able to sit down. It gets kind of funny though when he checks in only to find out that one of the seats is in row 4 and the other is in row 8  |

I'm not a massive fan of flying and I agree it is a little unnerving to hear of an air accident prior to a journey of your own.
I was sitting in a bar at Chicago Airport in January watching breaking news footage of a plane identical to the one I was about to board floating around in the Hudson River..... it did unsettle me a bit I must say...

Hate it, although find that 2 or 3 valium and a glass of wine tends to make it bearable for me!

I'd rather be on a plane that falls apart at 35,000 feet than one that crash lands on the ground - at 35,000 feet death is pretty quick and painless (the oxygen starvation puts you a high before you pass out)

But then if you heard there was a car crash in the morning before you left for work it probably wouldn't make you nervous to drive, more likely a bit miserable because there could be more traffic about.
