WILF 46,834 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I used to detest flying, but I have had to fly so much the couple of years that it’s just standard now.....can’t say as I like it but I just get on, get my nut down right away and snooze until we land. Mines only normally a short 1 hour fight anyway and I always sort of figure the bloke driving don’t want to crash as much as I don’t so he won’t be taking any chances.

Funny, I hate short one hour flights. The planes feel like they're about to fall apart and no sooner are you up you're doing circles and coming down. Much prefer transatlantic. It might be 10 hours but the planes are more stable, more space, TVs in the seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
