They shut the door behind me and I am looking for my seat as the plan starts to taxi.

Or "aeroplane / aircraft", Over Here!

I'm not. My flights are well in the past.

One holiday years ago on Crete (about a four-hour flight each way), a number of more recent work flights between the South of England and Scotland, and one day-trip to the Isles of Scilly by helicopter. That last with a girlfriend when we were on holiday in Cornwall.

I've often wondered what we saved on those internal flights. They were only an hour in the air, but when you add the journey to an airport at least 80 miles away (sometimes over 100), the waiting time enforced by having to arrive something like an hour and a half before boarding, then the time spent escaping from plane to car-hire office.....

I reckon going by train would not have taken much longer.

I enjoyed the flying itself but the rest is just a chore. You can't even buy anything to eat or drink at a sensible price.

I used to be far more nervous of the airports than the flights. My prior "knowledge" of them had been films scenes and news reports showing vast mazes filled with high-falutin' looking business types who all obviously know exactly where to be and when, but still have almost to run along the endless corridors to meet their arcane appointments.

I was right!

Depends on if I know the airport or not. Unfamiliar ones, 2 hours before boarding time. But our local one, 30 minutes is plenty. LAX and LaGuardia, an hour is acceptable.

A scared-as-shite one. On my first flight ever I thought the plane was falling apart when the landing gear was being deployed. Now, every little noise and jostle unsettles me.

If I could check in a day before I would. I hate flying.

@JovialMoose You're going to do a B.A. Barracus on her?

@NativePortlander1970 I forgot about that. I thought that was hilarious as a kid.

I wanna be there at least two hours,before boarding. I always run around looking for the gate , then I lose things like my laptop and then I need to use the bathroom and then I get hungry and , yeah. I need my preparation time! 😂

The one who checks to make sure my gate actually exists then snacks or lunch depending on the time of day.

Haven’t flown in 30 years, probably just a few changes 😂
I like planes just my traveling is mostly in state.

I don't fly if I can avoid it. Just can't be bothered with all that fuss.
Longer, the better.
I'll fight for the window seat. I have no time for sleeping.
Nose pressed against the glass, I wanna take in everything.

Flight delayed??..More time to roam, watching people and planes from all over; come and go.

I travel for my job and cover the whole US. And every time I fly I play this game called “ will I make my flight?” Lol

I’ll find my gate if I’m on my own, some airports are massive and you need to get a train to the next flight.

I didn't mind air travel when I was working and flying a lot. I always allowed plenty of time, so I sat a lot.
I go everywhere with "getting lost" or "unforeseen mishaps" time to spare—so I end up waiting.

Wishing I could go somewhere. 😢

I hate any form of waiting, but perhaps we could turn it into a dinner
I don't fly, I prefer Amtrak.
