Q: I am possibly thinking about going on an airplane in the near future and would like your advice/opinions about Airplanes. I would like to know who has been on one, How do you like flying, What do you love about Flying, what do you hate about flying and what advice you would give to me if I were to fly. Feel free to answer my question and really good advice in great detail will get a 5.
*EDIT*

I'm so sorry! I forgot to read the advice part so I guess I kind of took it like a survey.

Anyways, some things I can tell you are that the airplanesget boring if you're on them for a long period of time.

So it's great to bring along magazines, books, ipod, laptops, cd players. These will keep you entertained. DVD players are especially good because you can watch your own movies without interfering with others. Usually they provide movies but you may not like that movie. And movies take up a good two hours.

But if you can, I would try to go to sleep. (This is if you have a long time on the plane) If you sleep the time goes by so much quicker. So if you're lucky enough to sleep on planes ( I can't) you should.

Get a window seat if you can. But keep in mind this is if you're not afraid of heights. The scenery is so amazing and probably different from anything you've ever seen.

Bring your own food and drinks if you don't want what they serve you. Sometimes they're not as good as you think. LOL

If you are going on an airplane with your friends and family you can always talk to them to keep entertained.

If you're going on an airplane by yourself it's always easier to follow the crowd once they get off of the plane. They know where they are going. And where the luggage pick - up is and from there you'll know what to do.

Before you get on the airplane is the hard part. Going through security and baggage drop off is a bitch. But always bring a photo I.D. of yourself and obviously don't wear much jewlery or carry weapons.

Again, I am really sorry. Hopefully this gives you advice. Just so that you know what to expect. Take care and have a safe flight!




I've been one an airplane about 6 times.


I think that my first time on one was scary because I was only 6 at the time. But once I got on it I found it to be enjoyable. I sat next to a magician and he was entertaining.

But right now I love to go on airplanes because they're less time consuming and they go pretty smoothly. I'd chose it over riding in a car.

Advantages:
* less time consuming
* love looking at the clouds and place from far
away
* the ride is pretty comfortable

Disadvantages:
* my ears always kill me once we land because
of the different elevations
* a lot more people to deal with such as little
kids screaming or crying.
* the waiting time sucks because they usually
leave and arrive 15 minutes after they say so

Thanks for sharing your experience, You don't really have advice for me though.

I'm back! 6 years on this site and counting! Let yourself be known for something. It may not be perfect but imperfections are so much more interesting and fun!

I'm well known from my high interest in people. I thrive off helping others.

A lot of people say they have been through a lot. And well, this is true for almost everyone, including me. Rather than let past harm me I embrace what I've dealt with and use it to my advantage in the future.

I'm 20. Turning 21 soon enough. Been there, done that but cetainly have much more to learn. No, I do not know everything and I wouldn't claim. I do know that I am dedicated, educated, generous, motivated, and ambitious. I give all my time and heart into each answer.

I specialize in art, education, communication, psychology, massage therapy, health, travel and destinations.

I know information regarding school, college, abuse, neglect, personalities, relationships, friendships, little bit of info on cars, licit and illicit behaviors and or subjects. But I will be willing to answer anything!
