After migrating to England at age twenty, he visited his mother and other family members back home, just once in forty years.
It 's not that he didn't love his mother, or want to see her - but he was terribly afraid of flying. So forty years after leaving his homeland , he plucked up enough courage to make a two week trip back home - and just a year later - his mother died.
I myself simply hate flying, but if I must, I will fly. In this fast paced world when it is sometimes necessary to reach one's destination in the shortest possible time -- flying is the best alternative. Given the choice I would much prefer traveling by ship.
Are you afraid of flying ? - and given the choice - what mode of transport would you prefer?

Yes I'm scared and anxious to fly. Last 2015 our trip to Davao city will need us to fly on airplane. I was telling them my apprehension as it is my first time to fly. Then I see little cute children included in the flight and I calm down. I think nothing will happen since we have this beautiful children inside the plane. That's what I think so I would not panic

I grew up an Air Force brat and spent a lot of time on planes. I loved being in the air.

I love all forms of transport. I do like the exhilaration of take off and landing that is the best part of the flight. The in between bit can be a bit boring but I treat that as an adventure too. The food the films and have a snooze and before you know it it is time to land. The longest flight I have taken has been 17 hours,

It is not so much flying \I don't like but the length of time in the air. I can manage anything under 2 hours.

I used to do a lot of flying before I moved to Israel. Now, I do not fly here. I used to travel by bus or the train. Now, I travel by my mobility scooter.

I traveled only once in my life. I fly and I was too numbed to know if I was scared.
