Answer 1

ITS fun!!

Answer 2

Takeoffs still get me. I have to catch a buzz from the airport bar before I catch my flight to deal with takeoffs. My suggestion is while the plane is taking off keep looking forward until you leave the ground helps me with the geforce of takeoff. And don't be surprised if you hit turbulence. Sometimes it can be so bad you can be thrown out of your seat so just keep your seat belt on unless you are going to the bathroom or getting something out of overhead. Other than that, it is like riding in a caddilac nice and smooth. Bring books or a laptop/gameboy something like that.

I know exactly how you feel. Two years ago was the first time that I every flown on a plane and I was scared to death and I was crying before we took off. But I soon realized that I liked it SO much I prefer to fly everywhere =]. I have a huge fear of heights but when your in the sky and have all those clouds around you, you don't even know how high you really are. But if your VERY scarded of highs don't sit near the window.

When i get bord on the plane I usually go to sleep. But if you have a portable dvd player I would advise you to take that. Also if you have an mp3 player bring it just in case you wanna listen to some music to pass the time away.

And bring gum b/c if your ears start feeling like they have a bunch of pressure it will really help if you chew gum to help them pop and not hurt.

Have fun on your plane ride.

It depends upon the person. I've flown hundreds of hours and I still don't like it. I take a laptop with an extra battery. I have it loaded with three or four movies and some games I like. Failing that, I have a "book on CD" that I listen to. Noise reduction earphones are getting to be inexpensive. They let you drift off into your own world, listening to a book.

Answer 5

Flying on a plane is not scary its one of the safest ways to travel. Most planes have tv's in the seats so u shouldnt be bored.

Answer 6

Well, if you have a window seat then you can just look out if you are bored. when you are taking off and you're scared dont look out the window. and when landing time comes you're ears will feel like they are going to explode, so just take sum gum. :)

Answer 7

The take off is a little unnerving, but after that its ok. Even turbulence (which is the plane rocking a little in the air) isn't that bad. Just relax and enjoy the movie and have a drink.
