My first trip on a plane was when I was 14 years old. I traveled on a three hour plane ride from London to Athens. On take off I saw the landscape below and then the plane lifted into the puffy white clouds. Before landing I got pain in my ears. Since then I have been on many different plane trips. This year myself, my disabled toddler son and my baby daughter flew from London to Vancouver. I like long haul flights because they take me to wonderful destinations. Last year my toddler son and I flew from London to Cape Town. I have fun at my destination and endure the flight because it is worth it.

Do you have any tips for travelling with kids? I know it can be challenging? Especially on long flights.

my first airplane trip was on September of last year. It was a trip for work outside the country. My travel took 12 hours since we have to stop over to Hong Kong first and ride again another plane going to Dubai. The flight was really very exciting, i watched movie while we're up in the air and also drink champagne. It was really nice looking at the window before landing, the buildings and houses looks like match box. :) i'mm looking forward to my nest flight.

The first time I ever went on an Airplane was when I was 22 and going to Germany. I live in Canada so it was a long flight. I was going to stay with my friend who was on Exchange. Her host family was kind enough to let me stay with them. I was going on the plane alone so I was a bit nervous. It was british Airways and they were super nice.
I had a nine hour flight to Heathro(Sp) in London. I had a couple hours lay over and then an one hour flight to Munich. I met a really nice chatty guy on the plane to Munich so that flight went quickly.
The way back wasn't very nice though. I had decided to quit smoking and the person sitting behind me reaked of tabacco. It made me crave it so badly. I tried to chat with the girl next to me but she was definately not chatty at all.

My very first airplane trip was definitely a fun one! It was when I was about 13 years old. My family and I went to Disney World in Florida! So this trip was an in country flight. We flew from Pennsylvania to Florida. It was a long but exciting trip. I have loved flying since then. It's such a quick way to get where you need to go.

My first airplane trip was when I was relocating from Poland to U.S. It was the first and longest trip I have experienced so far. It was also the first time I experienced the fear of dying when the plane left the ground. For the past years, I have been traveling at least once a year, often to the South West Regions of U.S. I still hold my breath during departures, and then enjoy the scenic views especially around Arizona and Utah.

My first airplane trip was very recent. Last May, we went to Disney World in Florida. It was for pleasure. The plane ride was dizzying and scary, especially when the plane turned. I had no idea a turning plane had to dip to make the turn. I guess it was better than I imagined, but it was still scary enough and not something I see myself doing a lot.
As for the trip to Disney World, some of it was fun and some of it wasn't.

My first airplane trip is to go to a beautiful seaside city in our country with my parents. That city located on a peninsula so that go there by train or by bus can neither get straight. As for this reason we chose airplane. But when the airplane flying off we found a problem, which is my father became so worried to talk or small. He could not even take a nap. My mother and I never felt anything discomfortable during the flight. When we got off the plane and step on the earth again, dad finally relax his muscles. He told us that he really don't like take plane since his always worry about if it will fall down and crash over the ocean. He said he standing a slow train than suffering on a plane.

My first airplane trip was when I was younger. I was in High School then when my Father treated me to a vacation in the place where he was born. It's far from where we live so we have to ride an airplane to go there. The ride was smooth, I didn't experience any turbulence and air pocket so I didn't feel scared unlike some flights I took during my succeeding travels.
