Answer 2

When you taxi, you barely feel the plane move at all. At this point the cabin crew will tell you all you need to know about what to do in case of emergencies and such. They will do a demonstration or show a video of where the exits are, how to fasten your seatbelt, when portable electronics can and can't be used, etc. All the instructions the flight crew will give you are all on the safety card which is in the pouch on the back of the seat in front of you. The captain will come on and give a little speech about the flight and what to expect - something about how long it will take until you take-off, what to expect weather wise in your destination city, and how long the flight should take.

When the plane prepares for take off, it starts to go really fast down the runway, and then within a few seconds you are up in the air. Things may seem a little wobbly at first, but that's just because of moving through the different altitudes. Your ears might "pop" as you climb through the altitudes.

Your ears pop in air planes because the air high above the surface of Earth is less dense than air near the surface. As you ascend in an airplane and the air pressure decreases, the air trapped in your inner ear will cause your eardrums to push outward. This expansion causes not only the discomfort you feel before your ears "pop," but also a decrease in hearing ability, because the pressure on your ears drums makes the sound harder to transmit. Your body can equalize the pressure between your inner ear and the atmosphere by allowing some air from your inner ear to escape through the Eustachian tubes, two small channels that connect the inner ears to the throat, one on each side. When they open, you feel the pressure release and you hear the change because it’s happening in your ear. This equalization of pressure is the "pop."

On the way down from an air plane flight, the air pressure increases, while your inner ear is still at the lower pressure it has adjusted to. Now, the extra pressure pushes the eardrums inward. Eventually, the pressure will equalize again, but many people don’t like to wait, they want to "pop" their ears

For take-offs and landings (the WHOLE way up, and starting from the BEGINNING, or TOP of descent)the best ways to alleviate pressure are to:

*Chew gum

*Drink something

*Suck on a hard candy or mints

*Yawn

*Pinch the nostrils shut, take a deep breath in through the mouth, then force the air into the back of the nose as if trying to blow your nose

*Place hot damp towels (usually like the ones distributed to first and business class before take-off and landing to freshen up with - just ask a flight attendant for them) or paper towels that have been soaked in hot water and wrung out at the bottom of two paper or styrofoam cups, then hold the cups over the ears.

*Another trick that used mainly on babies and small children, but can be used on anyone, is to gently but with some pressure, rub your neck repeatedly from the chin to the base of the neck. This will cause a swallowing motion that will relieve pressure build-up in the ears.

Once you are in the air, things will feel smooth. You will hear the humm of the engines, but that's normal, nothing to worry about. I actually find it relaxing. If there is turbulence, you might feel the plane wobble a little bit (usually up and down) but remember, planes are designed to withstand this, so take a deep breath and try not to think about it. It might give you a few butterflies in your stomach though. After a few minutes, you will hear a ding. This is the captain letting the flight attendants know that the plane has reached the cruising altitude. At this point, the rate of ascent will decrease. You will also get an announcement that it's OK to use portable electronic devices at this time.

To entertain yourself:

*Read a book, magazine, the paper, or do a puzzle (such as crosswords or Sodoku if you like those).

*Listen to music using an iPod, MP3 player, or CD player.

*A laptop is good to have as you can play games on it, get any work done that you may have, or watch DVDs.

*Try talking to the people next to you. Sometime you will meet some really interesting people, and forge friends

When you are approaching landing, your ears again might "pop" as you descend through the altitudes (remember the techniques above to help alleviate the pressure). You will feel the plane slow down and the cabin crew will prepare you for landing. As you get close to your destination, the captain will come back on and tell you how much longer until you land, and what the weather is like. When the plane touches down it kind of feels like a short jolt, and then you hear them turn the engines to idle and the plane slows down pretty fast.

From there, the plane will taxi to either the gate or the designation where a bus will pick you up. You wait for the plane to decompressurize a few moments before they start letting the passengers out. That was your flight.

Answer 3

well take off it feels like your on a roller coaster taking off and ou get pusehd back into your seat a little bit. when plane is at level at its final altitude it feels like your in a car and when you hti turbulence it feels liek going over bumps in the road in a car. when you land it feels like the end of a roller coaster ride.

Answer 4

Honestly, if you close your eyes, or, if you don't look out the windows, it feels like you are on a city bus.  You can imagine that the turbulance is bumps in the road, and the wind rushing by at 700mph sounds the same as if the bus was going 60mph.

Take off is the scariest part for me, the sound of the engines revving, and then the pilot releases the break, and for a second the plane is quiet, and then all the sudden you are barreling down the runway at 200mph, and I get this panic feeling, like I HAVE to get off, but there is no way once the plane is in motion.  And before you know it, you are in the air, facing the sky as the plane climbs upward to an altitude over 30,000 ABOVE the clouds.

Once you level off, its like being on a bus.  Very quiet, very "normal" feeling.

Answer 5

i honestly say..it will not b the same all time... i have flown already several times..and once the takeoff was very smooth and the other time it was very rough...

i'll say it short..

while the plane is taxing in the runway don't panixc..when the plane ahs reached the correct runway...it will begin to attain a tremendous speed of around 100mph..u'll feel ur belly pushing inwards but don;t panic..after take off for2-3 minutes u'll feel dizzy...while cruising in above 30000 ft u'll feel nothing..when descending u'll again feel dizzy ...

while landing it will b very very rough....but htat will alst only for a minute...over all it will b  just like travelling in  a city bus,..thats' all
