Flying in general Reviews

You fall into one of two camps when it comes to flying, you either think of it as a brilliant invention enabling you to see other cultures and conduct business globally at the drop of a hat, or the very thought of it causes your heart to beat faster, your head to spin and a mild nausea rise in your throat. You guessed it, I'm the latter. ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people are scared of flying for one reason or another. You may be scared of heights or you just may be scared of any accident happening whilst flying. Like all people, I have always been concerned about flying in relation to its safety. Flying is perfectly safe - it's the safest method of travel and if you think that there are thousands ...  Read the complete review

I came across this review topic by chance, and have thought long and hard as to whether I should write of my feelings on the subject. Nevertheless, in the end I decided I would, because it is a true reflection of my opinion on flying and not all reviews can be positive. I took my first flight when I was eleven, and continued to fly ...  Read the complete review

I have been fortunate to travel a lot around the world both with work and also as a holiday maker and I have managed to experience a number of airports in my time and here are a few of the high lights and low lights that I have experienced. The Good Schipol Airport in Amsterdam is a shoppers paradise and somewhere that I can ...  Read the complete review

Flying in general, I fly fairly regularly but lately have become disenchanted with the whole idea. I only fly in europe as I don't think I could put up with 10 hours or more. My main complaint while travelling "cattle Class" is the lack of information , firstly at the airport, delays are on the board, but no explanation as to why! Gates ...  Read the complete review

Most people these days have at some point in their life travelled by plane, although I am still commonly surprised when I speak to people that have never before used this method of transport. Travel broadens the mind, there are a plethora of wonderful sites on our planet, and air travel is your key to them. In this review, I will briefly discuss ...  Read the complete review

The first flight I ever experienced was a seven year old going to visit some relatives in Germany. I did like flying more when I was a child because it was exciting, and unlike my sister I never got really bad earache. However, since then I've become a lot more wary of things, probably because of the news etc.! Luckily I've never had a ...  Read the complete review

A while back my attention was inadvertently drawn to Air safety after witnessing a very near miss at Edinburgh Airport. I had intended only to take a few pictures for a project I was working on, whilst viewing the incoming and outgoing planes I, and a lorry driver who had stopped for a break watched in amazement as an Airliner prepared to land. We ...  Read the complete review

People wake up every day expecting to hear about these accidents in the day's news! So, In light of recent airline tragedies, and a growing ...  Read the complete review

Once again, I am here writing another review on flying. It's like a drug, I love it! Flying, not writing the reviews. Although, I do enjoy enjoy writing the reviews, but nothing compares to flying. About 3/4 of my reviews are related to flying in one way. Now, I think its time to share some of my knowlegede and advice for flying, to the public. I ...  Read the complete review

There are many types of flying, but I am basing my review on the most obvious - Commercial flying. Flying is something that so many people fear in one way or another. You either are paranoid that the plane is going to have an accident, resulting in a tragic death or you simply don't like the extreme heights or turbulence! Well, let me ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I can remember I’ve hated heights. When doing PE at school I would never go up the climbing frame, because it made me feel unsafe. Even being up a ladder can make me giddy. I’ve been on flights to go holiday, but despite the enjoyment of being on a plane I have always been nervous. Nevertheless, one thing that I have always wanted ...  Read the complete review

The Story: Its early in the morning, maybe 5.57 am, maybe 6.03 am. I am lying in my bedroom, on my bed, thinking about such things as, Jeremy Beadle, Carol Vorderman and if I really should have eaten 3 choc ices the day before. Then suddenly I hear, a small, "tweet, tweet." I go to the window and after a few seconds of looking see ...  Read the complete review

“Please return to your seat and Fasten Your Seatbelt we are about to enter some turbulence” So it is nearly time to go on a flight again. Could be a business trip, a well-earned holiday or just visiting friends. But as you get airborne will you be gripping the armrest praying for a smooth flight, terrorised by the fear of ...  Read the complete review

In light of incidents like Lockerbie and September 11th, I thought I'd write this op to reassure nervous flyers, I flew over New York two weeks after Sept 11th but I still fly...why. because statistically it is still the safest form of transport....and I love flying ...The mysteries of flying or flying for the first time, ...  Read the complete review

If you had asked me a couple of years ago what my favourite thing was I could have written you a whole list and not have been able to make up my mind between them... turkish delight... marzipan... marmite on toast... ready brek... syrup pancakes... have you noticed the connection, they are all food, bit of a one track mind there I’m afraid! ...  Read the complete review

It seems de rigeur to rubbish the practice of flying on this site. We sometimes forget, because of September 11th, Lockerbie and Arthur Hailey's Airport films, that flying is the safest and fastest way to get to most overseas destinations. It's very easy to say, "I hate flying to Los Angeles," but how many people ...  Read the complete review

When I was a child I used to love flying. We used to go on holiday once a year and I think I used to look forward to the flying more than the actual holiday. As I got older I must have realised that flying wasn't quite as good as I thought it was and that you could actually die from the experience. There is so many dangers involved in flying, ...  Read the complete review

I Really Hate Flying, It Hurts My Arms………………… It has got to the stage that I would rather not have a holiday than get onto a plane. In 1996 I entered a competition to win a weekend trip to New York and when I actually won the trip I suddenly realised it would be a 7 hour flight, I ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered what it must be like to fly? Have you ever looked into that expanse of blue and wondered at the size of it? Have you ever wanted to be free? If the answer to any of these is "Yes" then you really should consider learning to fly a light aircraft. For me it is one of the most ...  Read the complete review
