As trained crew (but not crew) I feel 100% safe about flying either short haul or long haul. Staff are highly trained with these big airlines including British Airways, Thomson, Thomas Cook, Easyjet, Ryanair, Virgin, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Air Berlin, TUIFly, Luthansa, Emirates etc etc they are all highly trained and use similar ...  Read the complete review

I feel 100% happy about flying; when i was younger i used to visit my father abroad and travelled by myself so i got used to it i think! However, following university i did unertake a year of employment as an air hostess and so feel quite qualified to answer to the question! I used to work for a budget airline; many people would assume that ...  Read the complete review

I have been flying for the last 30 years mostly to places like Spain, Tenerife, and other sun filled holiday destinations. Over the years I have become almost a legend (well at least in my own mind) about my fear of flying. As I am fond of the odd alcoholic beverage (always my drug of choice) I have always had a couple of libations before take ...  Read the complete review

To Understand Flying is to realise how a boat works...Imagine you are on a speed boat and a large Ferry has just crossed your path...you see all this great White wave of water now coming towards your boat and the boat hits it and bam you get pushed up out of your seat for a second and a few mini bumps later and the water is smooth again. Now ...  Read the complete review

Flying is one of the biggest fears that many people suffer from. When I was a child, I was really scared of flying, well that was until I got to the airport and actually saw the planes, and then my fear went away. But for some people, it isnt that easy. Flying seems to be such a dangerous thing these days, or so it may seem, but if you do your ...  Read the complete review

As someone who hated flying, I feel I am quite qualified to talk about this! The reason that I hated flying is because I felt like I was going to fall out of the sky, or, more specifically, that the plane was going to fall out of the sky! I used to look out of the aircraft and wonder what was holiding it up. How could something so ...  Read the complete review

Flying is amazing, the best parts are deffo the take off and landing!. But of course not everyone loves flying, as my mum is terrified! Planes are getting better though, you are gettin more space for leg room and they are updating alot of planes,to me they are like buses! I never think what happens if this plane crashes etc, i just sit ...  Read the complete review

I confessed, I have never been comfortable with flying. Yes, I love travelling, I love being able to go many different places in the world. Someone once told me that you are not human once you are up there in the air, yet another told me the number of air disaster is small compared to being knocked down by a car. Since I ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that at a young age I was a complete wimp when it came to flying, for months before my holiday I was always extremely excited. It wasn't until around a week before that I remembered I would actually have to fly before I could enjoy the sun, sea and sand. I do however blame my mother for a lot of this, I particularly ...  Read the complete review

With all the accidents involving airliners in the news recently people can be forgiven for becoming nervous about flying but I personally feel very safe and comfortable with it, perhaps it is just the "oh it won't happen to me attitude" but I never feel any fear from flying and I treat it as a big part of my holiday. Airline ...  Read the complete review

We have flown many times over the years to many different destinations and only a few weeks ago we went to canada by aeroplane. i can understand that some people may be worried about flying when they hear that a plain has had problems with oxygen in the air, or a fuel problem or that there has been a recent air crash but i do not let ...  Read the complete review

In the past I've flown many times, most of which I haven't worried about much, the odd niggle about not being able to move about but there's foot exercises and perhaps the odd thought about terrorists but not in any depth. Until a few years ago. In 2003 my Mum died and my partner and I had a holiday booked a few months after this ...  Read the complete review

Scared!! I'm going to Barcelona soon and after the plane flying there and having oxygen trouble it scares me. I mean what if they don't have enough oxygen on board of fuel. Iv never flown before so all this is new to me. Also what if there were troubles with the plain whilst in mid air? And does anyone know what the rules ...  Read the complete review

The disaster in Madrid was just awful and only a week later there was a problem with a Ryanair flight that had to divert when the cabin lost pressure and the air masks were deployed, the worrying thing about this latter experience was that many of the passengers claimed that the air did not work and there was no communication to the passengers. I ...  Read the complete review

As I have got older and the novelty of flying has definately worn off the less safe I feel on planes eventhough I know that it is probably one of the safest forms of transport. I guess this is in part due to the fact that increasingly I find myself flying with budget airlines and I know that they are most likely to cut corners when it comes to ...  Read the complete review

Flying is an honor for me as I know that many of friends around me do not have much chances to take a flight. Thus I feel so lucky that I could fly since 9 years old. After all, I seldom have chance to travel with plane. When I was young I never think of the danger of flying and I felt that is the safest mode of transportation. Moreover it's ...  Read the complete review

I have had a passionate intrest in aviation since I was 7 years old and I took my first flight from Glasgow Intl - Reus (Spain), flying with Brittania Airways. Everything about the flight fanscinated me, and it was, without a doubt the best part of my holiday. As Im still finshing off my education, I can't yet take on a career in ...  Read the complete review

I'm scared of flying well I say flying, I actually mean dying horribly in a plane crash. The dumb part is that for he last 20 years I have travelled all over the world by plane for work and I have never had a bad flight (except one story that actually got me banned from one major airline but that was all my own fault and not ...  Read the complete review

Yes, I totally know what you mean. They seem to want to scare you at the beginning of a flight. I'm a wheelchair user and can't bend my legs that much, planes are not very comfortable for me! And, no airlines will let me sit where there is more space as I cannot physically open the door, should there be a crash! First/business class has so much ...  Read the complete review
