I Hate Flying.

If I were flying it'd be another story. It's a combination of the lack of control and the height. I just hate being 30,000 feet up waiting 10 hours for my death cylinder to plummet to the ground. Fortunately I'm not going on an American airline so it might be a half-way decent flight.

You can die falling into your bath tub. At least 30000ft makes it quick. And fly Air Emirates, Terrorists don't blow up their own planes.

I actually love flying...I just hate the TSA. Flying, to me, always means something happy is happening and I am going somewhere I want to be. I fly a LOT and when I travel I usually take a minimum of 3 flights each way (ATL to Vancouver is not a short trip). However, I always fly the same airline and am racking up the frequent flier miles. I'm also going to be joining the club of my chosen airline so I'll have a nice place to relax and have good alcohol during my travels. I try to overlook the negatives of flying and just remember it's a means to an end, and that end is a happy one.

Actually, Bosnia is a pretty sad place. First you promise me cookies. Then you hurl ethnic slurs against my grandmother. And now you mock me when I try to let myself become emotionally vulnerable and open up about some of my insecurities. Why are you so mean????

I'm not impressed with American Airlines. I have been to Europe Twice flying into Heathrow in London. One of them was American Airlines. It sucked big time. The other time was British Airways. British Airways was AMAZING!!! The first time I went to Europe I stayed in London and flew from and to the US on British airways. When I went to Italy I flew into Heathrow on American (ugh) and then to Milan on British Airways. Everytime I flew with British airways they were fantastic.


Lets just say British people make me happy.

I'm hoping to start using alcohol to attain this attitude. Not a good idea for a flight going into Turkey. But domestically, at least.
[/quote]I used to make lots of short flights, in a number of different type planes. I've made literally hundreds of flights. I had developed a fear of flying due to some unpleasant experiences.

Alcohol, along with reminding myself of reason, helped a lot. I eventually got over my fears. Alcohol can be inexpensive chemical therapy.

[/quote]I don't need 3 oz bottles I have ample room in my blood stream. Plus, you need much less alcohol at altitude.

When I went to Peru last summer I got bumped up to economy plus and got lots of free booze. I kept ordering whiskey all night to stop the coughing from my cold. It worked well.

Good luck Hasan, hope the plane doesn't crash.
