General Discussion

I LOVE airports. They’re basically a cooler version of a shopping mall, with tons of restaurants. I’m usually too broke to buy from them so I just suffer by smelling the aroma of the food

Planes are nice, I like seeing the view! It’s just the take off and landing that sometimes makes me sick....
And boy, the 10+ hour flights kill me inside.

I get very motion sick so planes are not good for me and I avoid being on one whenever possible. Airports are okay, they don't stress me out or anything, I just don't like being on a plane because it makes me feel terrible.

I hate commercial flights with a passion - anxious flyer here but work requires me to fly frequently. This year I’ve flown 4 times for work and I recently had to get an 8 hour international flight to join my ship and will be flying back this time in 2 weeks. Thankfully both were/will be direct flights.

Airports generally stress me out though I think it’s the nerves speaking. Unfortunately it projects as irritability. I’m happier when I’m with a group of people because it helps keep my mind occupied but I solo travel a lot because of work. At least on the return flight there’s usually a group of us on the same flight. I also worry about meeting the port agent at the other end even though they’ve all been good so far.

I enjoy actuallly flying though, I have had a few lessons and want to get a licence at some point so for me it’s more of a control thing. As long as I can ask uestiona and see what the pilot’s doing I’m happy.

Hope you had a good flight!

I rode a plane once when I was younger and really enjoyed it, my face was against the window the whole time since I don’t travel often. But today I’m more anxious about flying and have to remind myself that it’s normal for millions of people. I didn’t know how bad babies were on planes until a few years ago while flying for a hunting trip, on the way there AND back. I can’t imagine the pain for people on 10+ hour trips.
My dumb ears really hate planes. They’re sensitive and often remain popped several hours after landing, often accompanied by headaches. I’ve tried everything from chewing gum or yawning but nothing seems to work :/
Airport shops are pretty neat!(and expensive)

I love going to airports, but airplanes are always kinda stuffy, making them kinda annoying for me. That said, I do like staring out airplane windows, I guess it just feels satisfying to me to be staring down at everything. I like all of this, even though I am scared of heights, which makes absolutely no freaking sense. Anyway, when get bored or annoyed with planes, I usually just think, hey, your going somewhere cool, yay! Also with a mix of headphones, music, airplane TVs, and/or books, it makes airplanes pretty survivable for me.

I had the opportunity and privilege to fly to Hawaii last year and once you get past security and find your gate all is good.
I was sooo stressed about security though, and while I knew perfectly well I wasn’t going to get in trouble, my anxiety kept telling me "What if you accidentally brought a gun?!”
After all that, things are well and good when you find the gate, because then you can wander around and look at stuff.
The flight take-off and landing are rough for me because it feels weird, and jet lag is wack.

I don't fly much, but I kind of like it. The whole process makes me a little anxious, but so does everything else, so... eh. Not really any more worrying than, say, a long bus trip.

Planes are actually one of the safest ways to travel, I think the reason it worries people is that it's out of your hands - if something goes wrong (never mind how unlikely that is) there's nothing you can do.

Also I'm tiny so the small seats aren't an issue for me.

I like planes! International flights especially. I was a little upset when I went to europe recently that I didnt have a window seat, since I wanted to try and see the aurora (since we were flying over Iceland/near the arctic circle overnight) and didnt get a chance because everyone closed their shades. :(

I also just wish airport stuff wasnt so expensive. A bottle of water shouldnt cost $5.

large and make scary noises. no thanks.
