Where did you go on your first airplane ride?

lol...my first airplane ride was when I was a little older than a month (if you don't count my trip inside my mother's tummy). My parents were living in Bahrain at that point of time...and my mother went to her mother's place (my grandmother) for her delivery. And she returned to Bahrain when I was around 45 days old. I don't know how she managed it because she was all alone with me and she had to catch two flights. If I'm not mistaken, my uncle (her brother) accompanied her on one of the flights.

my first was in 1997. i further my study in australia. there is a small place there named armidale, university of new england. mmm my heart is not for busy city, it is for countryside. i still miss that small town almost everyday. if there is anybody out there from armidale australia dont hesitate to message me..

wow. you have already gone to Disneyland? wow. what did you see in the Knotts Berry Farm? when i first rode an airplane, i was 18 and just about to enter college. my university was my destination when i first rode an airplane. it was really far but the 1-hour travel made it feel like its just near. i could travel on ship, which i have done once, but it takes a long 18 hours before i reach the destination. so during my entire four years of college, i have ridden an airplane for about 14 times. 4 times per school year minus two times when i traveled on ship and on land. the four times was when i go to the university for the start of the first semester, then go home on Christmas vacation, back again for the start of classes on January and back home for the summer vacation.

Hi Maddy, I was working in another Country many years ago. My boss permitted me to spend Christmas vacation with my family. It was sort of a family reunion after being away for a year. Unfortunately, it was that time of the year when everyone was rushing to fly back to their loved ones. My flight was delayed for 6 hours. I tried to pass the time by browsing magazines, ate junk food until my stomach was screaming that it can't take in anymore junkies. :P The flight flew smoothly except I didn't expect another nightmare waiting for me. Once the airplane landed on our destination, the airport looked like it was in a state of pandemonium. We needed to wait for another 2 hours before we were allowed to step out of our plane. Too many locals and foreigners were lining up to check out of the airport. Again, I need to fall in qeue and waited 8 hours before reaching the custom counter. I was supposed to be home before noon time. I got home past midnight. The most wonderful and memorable day for me, lol!

My first airplane ride is when I was 19 and I have to go to Singapore for a training attachment. I was so excited. I travelled with Singapore Airlines which is well known for their good service. The ride was fun, eventhough I am a litle bit worried of fall, because I have a phobia of heights.. My experiences in Singapore for 6 months was great. I got knowledge, experience, lots of fun, new friends and off course I did shopping too..

My first plane journey was when I was about 13, and I went to tenerife with my mum and dad for a fortnight, it was really exciting and I got to sit by the window there and back! This would have been in 1986 sometime. I remember that we were at the airport about 3 hours before the flight as my dad liked to allow plenty of time and we sat in a cafe and had something to eat and we could watch the planes taking off. That was just as exciting as going on the plane, it was a brilliant feeling.

Oh wow, sounds like you had a blast out here. You took Los Angeles by storm. I have been here all of my life and have not been to a water theme park. But I guess it is just as well since I do not know how to swim, hehe. Now let me see, there is so much that I want to say about my first plane ride. And when I take it, you will be the first to know, LOL.

Many was surprised when I said my first airplane ride was to a far far place - London, alone with my sister. Most people will travel to neighbouring countries first before venturing far. I am exception. I venture far but not the neighbouring countries.

Well my first ever airplane ride was back in the 70's when I was about 6! My gran her friend and her Grandaughter all went to Canada - that was so exciting as not many people had been on a plane in my school then and if the had it was usually a short trip to Spain! We were visiting my Aunt and family in Windsor, Ontario for 3 weeks and I was amazed by everything! There were huge cartons of milk and it was the first time I had tasted peanut butter! Lots of the family had swimming pools and the weather was amazing! We visited Niagara falls - I was in awe! We went to Detroit too via a bridge one time and a tunnel the other - I was very excited about going to America and even had my photo taken with a border guard - I still have the photo somewhere! Everyone was so lovely and friendly and everything seemed so big and different! It was amazing! Thanks for making me revisit these memories! xxx

This happened to me in 1987. I really wanted to travel and saved up money from my paper round to fly to Greece when I was 14. I went with my mum on a plane that flew from London to Athens. I liked the excitement of taking off an seeing all the buildings, roads and fields look tiny as the plane went higher into the sky. Then it went into the puffy white clouds. It only took three and a half hours to get there. Unfortunately I got pain in my ears before when the plane began descending. When the plane landed my ears really hurt and I went deaf for half an hour. My mum and I took a bus to the port and got on a ferry that went past other pretty Greek Islands. We went to the pine covered fragrant smelling island of Spetse. I liked the traditional white house and blue and white churches. The harbor was pretty and the beaches were a bit pebbly. I was swimming in the sea and there were many clear jellyfish in the water. Luckily they were harmless. We explored Athens, the capital city, before flying home again. I liked to see the Acropolis and the views from it over the city. The architecture was quite stunning and it was great to buy some souvenirs. The weather was a very hot and dry. I came home after a heavy delay at the airport with sun burnt shoulders. Since then I have done much more traveling. Luckily since being given ear planes, plastic screw like things, to wear in my ears I no longer get pain in my ears when I fly.

wow.. 30 days is quite a long period of time, u spent there ^_^ For me, my 1st ride was in 2006, nov 30th, to bangkok.. hehe.. The travel was fun and it isn't as scary as wat most tv shows would say and show.. LOL

Mine was in 1988. I had gone to the Keys with my dad and step-mother on vacation. It was a trip of firsts actually. While we were there, we went on a sea-plane. At the end of the vacation, I was going to spend the rest of the summer with my grandmother so I had to get on a little 10-seater airplane and fly to Miami airport. From Miami airport, I took a regular jet-plane to Tampa airport where she was picking me up. So the first for me ended up being 3 different flying experiences altogether.

My first airplane ride was when we went to Hongkong. It was a sort an escapade with my other three friends. We stayed there for just four days and spent most of the time shopping, strolling, going to parks, eating and rides. It was a lot of fun because it's also my first trip out of the country.

Unfortunately I don't remember my first airplane ride. I was only an hour old. I was born in a real small town and needed to be flown to a larger city for a blood transfusion. My dad flew me there, he was the air ambulance pilot! I didn't get to meet my mom until I was a week old and she was released from the small town hospital and came to where I was for our first visit.

I was seven, and my mother took me, my brother to her native Caribbean island of Dominica West Indies to take her mother back home. She had brought her to the U.S. to stay with us for good, but my grandma missed her family down there, my father had his mom living with us as well and they got along, but my maternal grandmother, this was her first trip to the US to my knowledge and it was a bit much I would gather for her. So we took her back a year or so later. Mind you we were living in New York City at the time, so that was an adventure mind you.

Hi there maddysmommy! The first time that I rode an airplane was when I was sixteen, on my first year of college. We went here to the province of Aklan from Manila. It's really nice because the ride was only for 45 minutes and that's really fast. Since then, I always ride a plane when I'm going to Manila or back here in Aklan except for the one time when we rode a ship because we carried lots of things when we moved including six computers and some appliances. I was really excited ont he first time and fought with my sisters to get the window seat. Well, I am the oldest so you know who won.:D Another thing is that I didn't know that we now have smileys here. How do you do that?:D

i was i think only maybe 12, my first flight and i was ALONE, being sent out to see my g-ma and g-pa in decatur, illinois for a week during the summer vaca from school! i was strong though. i wasn't scared, but it sucked waving good-bye to my parents. i was only going to be gone a week, but to fly your first time alone? and so young? haha! but i remember it for sure! and it was great i have to say!

I went to singapore in 1981 on my school vacations when i was just 8 y of age ...but i still remember the visit because it was really exciting and memorable which i will never forget ,but then after i went to thailand many times because my father had started his business there .......... my last air travel was just year back but it was different i went there for business purpose not for vacations .....

I have not flown any where yet. But my family we are actually going on a cruise. This is actually going to be around Thanksgiving. What we are going to do is probably fly on to Houston. Then we are going to meet our family in Houston and fly out to Florida. So it sounds like fun because it is going to be a cruise.

All of you are brave thats all I will say. I had the oppourtunity to go to japan twice but I didint go either time because Im afraid of flying lol. hopefully I will man up someday and get on a plane
