I dont go until Wed 04th but my a++e is twitching bigtime,i hate flying and only settle once the plane levels out.
Anyone else.

Hi, I am not really fussed on flying either, but I am definitely not as bad as I used to be. I took a coach trip to Salou, many years ago. Never again. I would rather be on a plane (a bit worried) for a few hours than go through that again.

I had a CD send to me, 'Fear of Flying' and it explained a lot of the noises, (which used to put me into panic mode) so I tend to be a little more comfortable now.

Of course the Vodka helps too

I hate flying as well, i convince myself were not going to make the take off, I live on rescue remedy for a week before we go

I use to love flying but since having kids have become really nervous. Its the thought of having them to look after too if anything happens. Last year I panicked when the engine changed noise. All I think is just remember where you are going and how much fun you are going to have.

Me too,i live on beer at the airport but once the stewardess's are out of their seats,i feel a bit better.

Im gonna find it hard, I'm scared of heights and (DONT LAUGH) I've never been on a plane before so I think a bit of the old dutch courage will be in order methinks lol

[reesy1959]

If it makes you feel any better, last year I was having nightmares about the coach trip down to Icmeler more than the flight, I nearly cancelled I was that frightened, glad I never

The coach trip? ok I know theres a few "big hills" between Dalaman and Icmeler but it cant be all that bad can it? Mind you I am welsh so I would be used to "big hills" lol

[KarenH]

i dont mind the flying bit, but me and the children suffer terrible ear pain on landing, so that spoils it......

as for richard, he hates flying.....and i sometimes wonder if he will actually get on the plane at all.......

Just a bit of info.........
when the engines 'change noises' just after take off, this is done by a on board computer, ( can also be carried out by the flight crew) this is controlled by the take off speed, if the plane kept going at take off speed you would probably end up on the moon, so the engines slow down to give you all a smooth ascent.

I first seen the drops, watching a Jeep Safari video, it looked scary. I never seen them on the way down, my eyes were closed

I love flying but hate the aerotitis (ear decompression). It always seems worse landing at Dalaman. After trying various expensive earplugs (all rubbish) I found earplanes were excellent. They're cheap, they work and you can get them from Boots or Tesco.

I've only flew once, be my 2nd time in August. It didn't bother me one bit, but then again the year before I flew I also went on the coach to Salou, 33 hours of pure hell...I never realised anyones butt could ache so much, so a 2 hour flight to spain was a godsend.

Think I would rather be on the moon

I used to be ok, but since 9/11 I am a nervous wreck.
