Do you get really frightened when you are in a plane? Have you ever had a scary encounter like turbulence, or something even worse?
My brother loves watching plane crash investigation on Nat Geo, and sometimes it gets really scary! I know some people who are totally paranoid about going in planes, I wonder what they would do if they saw a show like that!
Are you afraid of planes, and if yes, which mode of transport do you prefer most? Do you have to travel frewuently?

Hi, well before i used to have ear aches, but now its gone. Thanks to the air deccan airlines for that. However, I am most happy if i get a female companion beside me. She just helps time pass out like a flash. Well i still prefer travelling y road, special;ly if i am driving the vehicle. What do u prefer?

Well I guess my least preferred mode is bus, and I'm pretty ok with the rest. I like going by plane the most, next train and then driving, though I think there is a train between driving and train. I've travelled very extensively by all the three modes, and I just love traveling, to all kinds of places.
Planes are quick and convenient, and I love the feeling of being high up in the air, and at the same time, driving is fun too, with all the sceneries, and the picnics that we have along the way.

i am not scared flying, even i watch airplane related shows or movies. if you are going to die you are going to die.... even if you are not in a plane. travelling on a plane is faster so why not grab the chance to fly.

I used to get very painful ears with the pressure on a plane when it began to land. It made me almost deaf afterwards for as long as half an hour. I was not looking forward to a ten hour flight from the UK to Kenya. However a friend bought me some plastic screw like things for my ears. Wow! My ears didn't hurt at all. So everytime I fly I get a pair of these. They are good for as many two flights.
One time I got on a plane they handed out newspapers. On the front cover was a picture of a concord crash. It made me feel a bit scared.
When I flew to Tunisia there was a great deal of turbulance. I had a hot drink split all over me. I got handed an immigration form and I felt too unwell to fill it out. The journey so very rough that I was sick.
I prefer travelling my train when this is possible. But planes are quick way to travel. Plane tickets from the UK to Europe are very cheap. I love travelling and do it as frequently as I possibly can.

im quite comfortable when im on a plane..im terrified though when im on a ship! movies like The Poseidon, and The Titanic really scared the hell out of me. the mode of transport that i prefer is by car. i know the time span travelling in this mode of transport is lengthy but i prefer driving in cars. thankfully i dont need to travel frequently.. maybe just not yet.

I'am not actually sacred of flying, but one time when on my way to an island about 45 mins ride, i took this 19 seater plane, my xperience was like a disaster ...we passed to an area where the plane was passing in very very rocky road..and i felt that it was free falling for so long and for so many times. The weather was not so good at that time, but then luckily we manage to stay alive..since then on i'm now a bit scared to taking plane for a trip. I prefer boat ot bus.
