I am afraid to fly. I never travelled in other country and I never flied. I would feel stuck in the plane. For me it would be difficult. What sensations do you feel when you fly?

For some reason I am afraid of heights but not of flying.

@Courage7 ~I love to get the window seat when flying. I am afraid of heights. When I'm on a ladder or on an uneven surface like on a roof, I'm uncomfortable. Looking out the window of a 70 story building (with my feet flat on the floor) was fantastic! I saw a helicopter flying past the building below me, that was so cool.

@dya80dya ~As long as both feet are flat on flat, level ground/floor, I'm fine.

I think most people are afraid of heights. But it's interesting that you are not afraid of flying.

I don't like flying or anything about it, the taking off, the landing and it makes me claustrophobic.

@dya80dya Pretty much. It's not like I would never fly again but it's also so expensive.

@dya80dya ~I LOVE to fly, it's the prices that scare me.

It's expensive. I think I would have a panic attack if I need to fly.

I don't like flying at all but I do it when I have to. People do it every day and survive.

You are right. People survive. It's safe to fly, but I think I would have panic attacks.

I am afraid of taking a plane too. That fear developed when I traveled alone a few years back (HK-MNL flight). I had palpitations, I almost called the attention of the flight attendant. Gladly, it stopped after a few minutes.

I am not afraid, once on the plane there was a very strong shock, I just prayed to God and it didn't take long to stop shake.

Praying was useful. I think you were scared. I would be terrified.

It will be very limiting for you if you don't overcome your fear. Travelling to other countries is a wonderful experience. I have done a lot of flying.

But were you afraid of flying before?
