Howdy G....

13 for this old bird.
I'm not a fan of flying and prefer to stay on terra firma.

But, that's just me.

Carry on.

Haven’t been on a plane since I was a kid, 20 or more years ago

[GuineaDago585]

December 2021. I flew about a dozen times between 2019 and then. After that flight I vowed to never fly again srs.

Similar to the moon landing air travel is a hoax. I'm supposed to believe a big heavy ass metal cyclinder floats up in the sky and doesnt crash down to Earth at a million miles per hour?

One of the greatest scams of all time that's for sure. Don't know exactly what they do when you go for a ride in that tube of death but I promise you aren't going up in the air.

[Bodhy]

8 weeks ago for me. Fairly frequent flyer as of the last 6 years or so.



Sounds like you're fearful of flying, OP. Any advice I might be able to offer? Formerly fearful of flying myself, here. Not so much now.

[BigElephant]

Never. Combination of OCD mandated as well as personal preference.

From an OCD POV, I need a lot of clothing and supplies to travel and likely wouldn't be able to take it all on a plane. Also worried about being in close proximity with someone I have no control over who they are for the duration of the flight, as well as possibly having to use the bathroom on the plane. I would be fine pissing in a plane bathroom, but I couldn't poop on one as I only poop in my personal bathroom at home and I have to shower after a BM. Last time I had to go elsewhere was 14 years ago and it was not a fun time.

From a preference POV, I just don't like traveling. I'm far more comfortable close to my home base and with access to everything I might need that I could very well forget to bring on a trip. It would be cool to see how everything looks from up there and that's something I regret not experiencing, but if I ever did that it would have to be a short flight and come home in the same day or in the very latest the next day. I have a friend who can fly a Cessna but not sure how I would do on something like that. I have a fear of heights that would likely be somewhat suspended in a large plane. In a Cessna where you can feel the wind/turbulence a lot more I might not do so well.

[Devin459]

About month ago.

Pretty much every flight I’ve taken in the last 2 years was work related.

Flying for business vs leisure are two completely different experiences.

Flying alone is so boring

[lnvictus]

Once every year.
You guys don't take overseas vacations?

[Getter_done]

Nice yall.

[gbullock32]

Last October, wasn't too bad but a lot or idiots at the airport.

[Cleveland33]

2014 - I don't like it and a very good friend of mine is a commercial pilot, it doesn't instill confidence in any of it

November and next week.
As long as i doesn't fall apart like the whistleblower said, it is all good.

[300Lane1]

About 10 years ago. I'm deathly afraid of flying. We do have a cruise in July that I need to fly to Seattle for. Already feeling anxious about it.

Don't forget to double mask and wear a face shield as well.

You have no reason to be afraid of flying. It is, no joke, one of the safest things you can do. There are some really good things you can do to make the tea evaporate, it's all about reconciling the tension between the rational brain and the emotional brain.

Your brain naturally amplifies fear when it leaves the ground and evolution absolutely did not prime us for being really high up in the air. An emotional response is normal and really to be expected. But nothing about that affects the physics of flying, the statistics about air safety, or the fact you are entirely safe on a commercial flight.

If you doubt this, hit me with a scientific or intellectual reason why you wouldn't be safe on a flight. I guarantee you won't have something I don't have an answer for.
