Hello! I have traveled in an aeroplane may times, thrice to Lahore in Pakistan, other visits to cities have been done by travelling in either car or train, Although I don't know how it's like to see the landscape in the day-time from high above in an aeroplane(since all three of my visits were done by night), but it is a great and frightening experience to travel in an aeroplane, especially when it's about to take off and land at the end of the journey.

Yes. I don't much like to do it. Not because I don't enjoy flying, which I do, but because they treat my $30,000 power wheelchair like a piece of common luggage and always break it. Then, I have to make them pay for it and find me a mechanic in whatever city I'm in. You should see their faces when I tell them how much it costs. But they never learn, and the next time it's the same thing. I think I need to move to Europe where you can drive your wheelchair on the plane and sit in it the entire flight.

When I have a travel, usually I will take an airplane because I don't have so long time for vacation. Airplane is the fast way for me to go to the destination. Sometimes I will feel uncomfortable for my ears when I am in the plane. This is why I usually keep talking or eating snacks in the plane. This is an effective way to reduce the uncomfortable feeling of the ears.
I love China

Yup, i did travelled by plane to thailand ^_^ IT was a wonderful experience especially being a first timer because i'm up on the air.. So when i look out from the window, everything down there looks so small just like a toy.. lol =D Other that that, the ride itself is quite smooth throughout the whole journey except for some turbulence at times ^_^

Hi rafjose 90.
I have traveled by aeroplane, it just within the country, and just took me 1 hour. It was really awesome traveling by plane. When you take off, you get this awkward feeling since that place will be in inclined position during take offs. Now, when you look outside the window, you will see a top view of the city, the sea, and as you go up and up, they will look like miniature, like legos, like toys, it gives such a wonderful feeling. Now when you are really above, soaring with the clouds, you will enjoy the view of the sky, like the clouds are very near (as if you can touch them, and you can also see the ray of the sun. What I don't really like is the turbulence, when you get inside big clouds, and also when the plane needs to change its direction, leaning left, leaning right is not good in my stomach.
When you get to ride an aeroplane, choose the windowseat.

I have been flying since I was 13 years old. My first flight was in a cessna 150 then a c-47. Since then I have been in tail-draggers and jets even the C-5A galaxy. And no I was not in the military. Flying is a wonderful experience. You see things from a different perspective. Even like a pilot's poem...touch the face of God!

I have travelled by airplane quite a number of times.The experience was not something very great.
I feel for your experience to be good you need to go for a good airlines.The service matters a lot.
My flying experiences were kind of fine.The one thing I like about traveling by an airplane is that it saves a lot of time and it is not very tiresome(if it is for some short distance journey as in within a country or between two neighboring countries).:)

When I travel in a plane I always like to sit near the window. The view is fantastic up there. You will be amazed.
Once I was traveling and it was nearly late afternoon. We were above sea waters. The plane went through very thick clouds.
And then we passed by an opening. It was like we were in the middle of a lake. but instead of the water being surrounded by land, it was instead surrounded by clouds. And then the late afternoon sun was trying to penetrate through the clouds giving them a slight red orange tint.
It was surreal. I wish I had a camera to capture that view unfortunately I didn't. But I will never forget that sight.
Anyway, hope you get a chance to travel by plane soon. :)
