Poll: Do you have a fear of flying?

[Ami]

Nope, but I hate long flights my butt hurts

 

[isebrilia]

When I was growing up I was scared of flying (my family and I traveled a lot during my childhood). I'm 17 now and I don't really have a fear of flying anymore, I love traveling. I just hate really long international flights as my butt hurts and the airplane is cramped :c
I still have a fear of heights though.

 

[Zanessa]

It's because I'm afraid of heights and drowning.. :L

 

[Pietro:)100]

I enjoy the experience, but the night before flying I can never sleep because I always worry about crashing and dying which isn't a pleasant thing to think about. I know chances of crashing are tiny and dying even smaller, but I always think about whether I'll be in the tiny minority.

 

[tokkio]

not really but like... even though I've rode airplanes many times now, they never fail to make me sick/have a massive headache to the point that I wanna throw up.. especially the take-off and landing ugh

 

[Jake]

Not scared of flying, but I get incredibly motion sick on planes, I spend most of the trip throwing up in the bathroom (**** barf bags)

I guess it is kinda of a fear, since one of my fears is being sick in public, but I just go to the bathroom and it seems fine. But yeah, I don't really have a problem with flying itself.

 

[oath2order]

Flying is ok. Unless we're in turbulence and then I feel like the pilot is a madman

 

[Fawning]

I feel sick just thinking about it, I would use the train to go on holiday but its just so expensive. I always try to sleep before the plane takes off otherwise i'll have a panic attack/cry ;__;

 

[Leela]

I don't mind being in the air but having to go through safety drills every single time is annoying. I know they have to be done for people who don't know what to do in an emergency, but if you fly a lot it gets very boring. I'd rather be bored than being scared of flying though.

Going through luggage drop-off and security checks is very tedious too. I get searched almost every time. Hopefully I just happen to get caught in the random checks rather than it being because I look suspicious lol

 

[DoctorGallifrey]

No. I don't. I've been to Arkansas and back twice which is about an hour flight and was totally fine. I've also been to England and back twice which is about a 9-10 hour flight (depends on air conditions and what not) and felt fine. It's odd though, because I do have a small fear of heights, but not enough to where it makes me incapable of going up to high places or flying.

 

[Pipsqueak]

I'm fine with flying, it's the airports that scare me

 

[Yoshisaur]

This is kind of a tangent, but I flew for the first time when I was in my early 20s and had so much time to build up a healthy fear of it. Yet, when the time came and the plane lifted up, I started laughing. I was FLYING THROUGH THE AIR. It just seemed so absurd!

Same with me! I was terrified of it. I flew for the first time for my 21st birthday to go to Vegas. I did my first international flight a few years later and now I'm not scared at all.

 

[Improv]

I've never been in an airplane before, so I can't really say. I mean the thought doesn't bother me really. If I'm on a plane and it goes down, then oh well. Gonna die some day anyway.

 

[Feloreena]

Nope, I've been on aeroplanes multiple times per year throughout my life. It doesn't bother me at all and never has.

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

I don’t have a fear of flying as my entire life I have been flying around the world and loving those trips! Since I was about 1yr old my family were already flying around and having nice holidays. I am also an Aerospace student so I can’t really have a fear or I can’t do anything in the sky for Aerospace such as an Air Force pilot!

 

[sunny_ac]

Nope! Flown half war around the word about 8 times now I think. I go all around my country and travel a lot but thanks to this COVID I haven’t been able to...

 

[ali.di.magix]

Not at all. However, I've only flew a handful of times in my life and they've all been short trips (<2 hours). I don't really mind flying at all, despite being terrified of heights lol.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I mean, sorta yea? I don’t like looking outside the window while in the air (I flew once years ago). I haven’t had enough experience flying though so I cannot say 100%.

 

[Corrie]

I mean, I wouldn't say I'm totally chill during an airplane ride but I'm not panicking either. It makes me a little nervous.

 

[itsmxuse]

I’ve flown since I baby and I’m still absolutely terrified. The worst experience was the turbulences on the way back from holiday as there was a hurricane I had so many panic attacks it was horrendous
