About 3 years ago, I first time travelled by air, I was excited and a little bit nervous. In 20 days, I will travel by plane again, I am still a bit nervous. Are you nervous on plane? How to conquer the feeling?

I have several experience but just inside our country before the graduation from the university. Little Jez, welcome to my country, so you can have an experience of taking plan. That will be cool i think. Just make a plan when you are free, so i can pick you up at the airport!! hahaha..:)

Yes, when we first time on plane, we are excited. Although a little bit nervous, I enjoyed meals on the plane. Thanks for sharing.

[My first time on an airplane was when I was 21 years old. It was a short journey. I am excited and glad that I enjoyed it. At times during the take off and landing it is a bit nervous and affect our hearing due to the pressure on our ears. Another thing that we worried is the weather condition where there is turbulance. Just do not think too much and enjoyed the flight while thinking of the destinations and the fun we gonna have during the holiday .

Thanks for your advice, and I will do something to change my concentration too later. If you travel domestic, you can by train. If overseas, one has to travel by air.

I didn't feel nervous when it was my first time on the plane maybe because I was so young that time I am about 5 or 6 year old. I am so excited I even ask my mum if we can see Jesus when I saw clouds haha. On my first international flight after I went through immigration in NAIA I felt so nervous because of this interview cues that I can't believe they even ask me to recite my relationship status with my boyfriend which I think a bit odd. I went to AU to visit my BF I had all the docs so why they should ask me such personal things. I thought it would be the same in Sydney Immigration so I am so nervous but thanks God they didn't ask me any question just showed my passport and done!. I even took express lane.

Hi there my dear myloters. Well, to be honest I never ride an airplane before but I know in the future I will ride one. If I'm in your place I will surely be kind of nervous too just like you and I thinks most of people had the same experience like you. So there's nothing to worry about, it's normal. :)

Maybe you are scared to travel by air. You may worry about that if the plane will be out of control in the sky. Everyone will have the annoyances when he is travelling by air. But now plane is one of the most secure ways to travel. According to the investigation, traveling by air is more secure than that by bus. So you don't need to worry about it. I feel that I was more excited than nervous when I was first time to travel by air. You can fly in the sky, and it is so cool to you.

My first time that I traveled in air was not on a plane but on a C-130 that transport us here in Mindanao from Manila. Well, I was really shaking that time, that was 2 years ago. Then, my first on a Air plane was just this year (March). Honestly, i really thought that all the food I had eaten will be out for they go up when the plane starts to fly. Then, another flight last April, then another. Honestly I really don't know how I over come it but the next time a rode a plane. I feel comfortable already. Maybe because my body had already adopt to it.

Actually, yes I am nervous when I'm boarding a plane. I have so many imaginations about it. :-) To erase my nervousness I pray to God. Thanks for this. Good day!

Yes i was excited on my first plane ride. On the second time, i am okay because these were just domestic planes. When I get in into International, then that when I got nervous again. Not in the airplane but in the airport. As Filipino, I am scared to be discriminated (a little insecure) in the airport. So that's what I am more afraid of everytime I will travel and go to different place. Feelings about flying. I have no really problem I have in my mind, if it is my time then it is my time no need to make a big fuzz out of it. but I pray.. I pray a lot.

Thanks for sharing, when I was on plane for the first time, I have the same feeling with you. But till now, I still feel nervous. what to say?

I have a terrible fear of flying. I had to fly to Menorca in 2010 and was given some valium to help soothe me. I didn't take it and as we were taking off, I cried...ALOT. So in hindsight, I probably should've taken the valium! I just feel that when I'm on a plane, it's not natural. It's defying gravity almost!

The first time I took the plane was amazing. I was not nervous at all. In fact, I felt excited and happy. For me, it is a new experience. And I wish to ride a plane more often to experience new places.

Yes, I felt a bit nervous but more of worried when I first took the plane. I am worried that I might not come on time and I might missed my flight. The first time I took the plane, I felt so much ache in my ears and felt like my head is going to explode. I actually doubt that it will going to take off. You know this feeling, how this huge thing can actually lift, am such an innocent girl haha. When it started to lift in the air and we are actually up above the clouds, I had mixed emotions. It was an awesome experience but I was frightened because it was raining that time and I would always feel the plane is bumping into the clouds. I thought of just taking a ship when I returned but that would consume more time than taking the plane.

I was excited on first travel by plane and a bit nervous. With all the experiences that I had on plane rides, I was still nervous in my succeeding travels. I have another trip next month.

The first time I got on a plane was twelve years ago and it was for a ten mission trip to Bangkok Thailand. We worked with a church there who has a ministry with the youth. It wasn't just my first time time to fly but also my first but my first about almost everything. My ears was crazy painful when the plane goes up and even comes down. That's the only not good experience I have during my first plane ride co's the rest on the plane was fabulous. The food was very good and that was the first time I have eaten a cheery tomato too. From that first plane ride, now I have a lot of those, there were even scary plane ride that I have experienced but since I know God is in control I don't scared that much. But still there are times when my ears still hurts during the take off. Thanks for sharing your plane experience discussion, it brought beautiful memories to me. Can't believe it's twelve years go already, it feels just like last month. lol! happy mylotting my friend.
