Oh I love riding in an airplane even though I always suffer some ear discomforts each time it takes off. My first and also the only airplane flight I had so far was in Saipan or Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands February of last year when I took my state board examination (NCLEX-RN). It was fun even though right after my ears were like killing me. . Mind if you share yours?

i had my first flight last year, just from one city to another city in my country. Although i only takes me 3 hours to arrive the destination, i am so excited about it. i sat in the comfortable seat and view the beautiful scenes outside. The blue sky, the pure white clouds and sometimes you can see the tiny architectures on the ground. Oh, it is fantastic!

I was 14 years old. My first flight was from London Gatwick to Athens in Greece. It took about three and a half hours. It was so exciting to take off into the air and see the view out of the plane window. The houses and the cars below looked so tiny as the plane went higher and higher. Then I saw puffy white clouds with a sparkle of bright sunlight. My ears began to hurt when the plane was descending. It was like agony and it made me feel upset. It was so exciting when the plane reached the runway and skid along it making quite a harsh stop. Ten years later for my flight to Kenya my friend gave me a pair of ear planes, small plastic screw like things. They stopped my ears hurting at all so I use a pair for every flight. They can be used for 2 flights then they have to be renewed.

My first airplane flight was when I was 15. I flew with my parents to Hawaii. I turned 16 while we were there. I also met my first husband on Waikki beach while I was there. The only other time I have flown was a few years ago to Cancun Mexico. It was a blast.I'd do it again any day.

My first airplane ride was when I had just turned 18 yrs old and graduated from High School. I was on my way to Marine Corps boot camp. I flew from Manchester NH to Savannah GA and changed planes in Atlanta. It was quite a day, believe me.

My first flight was in Hongkong, January 2003, i still remember i am really shouting with excitement while the plane is taking off. I'm not sure if other can hear my voice but i know I am shouting. I haven't thought what other passengers thinking about me during that time i just want to shout. And when it is time to land, Im sweating all over because i am nervous. I don't know why, but it is what I am feeling at that time and I can not control it. Minus the shouting, im still feeling the same every time i travel by plane.

I dont remember really much from my first flight couse I was only 5 years old, but it was to London, thats for sure :) I have only been in the air two times, first time to London and the second time in a small hobby airplane with only two seats. It was an UL (Ultra light) airplane so it was very small but it was so cool to drive the plane yourself for some minutes. I will never forget it! (This happend about 3-4 months ago)
