Are you afraid to fly on an airplane?

No. I've learned to love it. Last time I had chicken nuggets in the airport before take off. Not recommended 🤢

No. But if I am traveling with someone, I am likely to grab their hand during take off and landing and turbulence - and close my eyes. If I am alone, I just close my eyes and clench my fists, lol.

I have flown - in aeroplanes or just 'planes as called here, not "airplanes" - only a few times and with one exception only within the country, those flights taking only about an hour. The exception was a holiday in Greece, about a 4-hour flight. Though one of the national flights was a day-trip to the Scilly Isles, by helicopter!

I don't know if a hovercraft counts. One holiday in France, with friends, used the hovercraft ferries that plied between SE England and NE France.


[i]I liked the flying[/i].

It was the [i]airports[/i], not the aircraft, that made me nervous.


Prior to those events I knew airports only from short scenes in films and News reports. They indicated them to be vast, bewildering mazes of interminable corridors inhabited by expensively-dressed people rushing along them with grim expressions on their faces, and all knowing exactly where to go by which route, when. No place for the nervous, casually-dressed, occasional visitor who is not an Important Person In The City, not an MP, not even a mere "celebrity"; no place to be puzzled, lost or late.

Then I used them and found..... they are indeed like that!

Luckily I was never alone, so could let my companions lead.

Statistically, air travel is among the safest methods of travel.

I do wish they’d stop making me take off my shoes at the airport, tho

Yes. I`m severely claustrophobic.

A jet 'maybe' but no way would I get in a small cessna type plane or a helicopter or especially a hot air balloon that one would qualify as a 'no fuckin way'. Have become afraid of heights as I've got older..

No. Infact, twice I requested the pilot flying the helicopter to let me be his side, both ways.
He politely refused.

Not at all

I make no bones about it. I hate flying. I have since the first day I had to in the military, though I don't think I reach the level of John Madden. I still fly but only as a necessary evil.

Often in my dreams and in them to say I’m anxious is an understatement.
Thing is though, in my military service I flew across the Pacific a number of times. Never worried about it.

No

I’m not afraid, just a bit apprehensive about making it to my destination. I have held on to the arm rests when experiencing really bad turbulence.

At one stage, I held a pilots licence (student pilot level). I have 80 hours of experience, of those 10 hours are flying solo.

Not at all. Besides, I have seen just about every episode there is of "Air Disasters".

I got over that fear in the navy. Landing on an aircraft carrier in a storm does that.

No, I've travelled and flown a lot over my life; sometimes even at the controls.

I'm not crazy about it and never have been. But I'll do it if absolutely necessary.

I wish I could be on a plane headed for a nice vacation.

Yes,maybe because i don't fly enough to really get used to it ???

No, I love flying,apart from getting in and off the plane.

No, but because of my panic disorder and cptsd I take meds.

No nor am I afraid to ride a rollercoaster.

I can tolerate it but still truly dislike it.

But I'd much rather fly IN the airplane.

Never, been on board more than 200 flights.

I'm not afraid, but I hate flying with a passion

I mean really bad turbulence🥵 with no warning,so "B"

Flown in airplanes and helicopters

Not really. I've done it many a time.

I love flying but it hurts my brain

Have never flown, never will.

No I am not scared to fly

Crashing

Hell, yeah! I'd rather fly [i]in[/i] the plane.
