I personally prefer travelling by plane more than any other form of transportation. I know that it is a huge fear for some people though.

I don't mind flying in the big planes. I'm not to fond of the smaller ones though. Right now I have over 70,000 frequent flyer miles in my accounts. I would love to take a long train ride one day. I think trains are neat. Lloyd

I would avoid small airplanes like the plague. Lloydanthony111, I hope you take a train trip. The best trip I have taken was by train.

I love flying! I wanted to be an air force pilot when I was younger, only to find out at the time that even if they WOULD allow me to become a pilot I would never have been able to fly for "real" if battle ever came. I'm happy to say that now women are much more equal now and flying isn't just a dream! As a matter of fact, I was thrilled to see a woman blue angel flying now!

My sister wanted to be a pilot too! She however has a health issue that prevented her from doing so.

I've only ever been by place once and I loved it, we flew from Manchester to Gran Canaria and it was brilliant, I loved flying over the mountains.

I love it too! And I also believe it is one of the safest ways to travel despite the threat of terrorism. Now cars, they do bother me!

No I hate it, and I will be going on one in March. If anyone has any ideas as too what to take for the fear, please tell me. I am desperate to get over it, but I don't think I will before then. I may end up taking a sedative.

You might wish to speak to your doctor about your fears and see if he can prescribe a sedative for you. I'm not certain what else to suggest. Anyone else that can offer some suggestions?

I like to travel by airplane. beside statisticly is the most safer transportation. i also like the sensantion when the plane took of. it tickles my stomach. the last thing that i like to travel with airplane is the view. you can see a land covered with forest, a sea, an isolated island, a city (especially in the night) :)

Nope! I would never travel by plane unless I absolutely have to. I don't like my body leaving the earth so far up..The fear..Is that you an crash,burn and die, of course you can also do this in any other forms of transportation also but atleast you don't if it is not in the air it happens quick in the air you have to much to think about what you have ot lose and what you left undone. and the terror alone that your going to die is just awful..

I flew for the first time in Dec of 2005. It was okay. But I still prefer the train. You get to see parts of the country.And I love the feel and sound of a train.

I don't like to fly. For whatever reason, when we take off my stomache stays on the ground! I always feel terrified that something will go wrong in the air or on the landing. The only way I will get on a plane again is if there is no other mode of transportation available.

I'm very afraid of flying because I feel it's out of my control (not the plane but the situation). I mean if by any chance something goes wrong there is nothing you can do to save yourself you just wait for the fall to end and kill you :( But I also know that statistically the planes are said to be safer than cars so I try not to think on what I written above very much.
