Hey guys! I can totally relate to this thread since I've flown a grand total of 5 times in the past month, twice over the Atlantic. We hit turbulence going, which freaked me out, but honestly it wasn't as "turbulent" as I expected. The coolest thing (to me) about flying is the takeoff in a 50 passenger plane. You feel EVERYTHING and it's such a rush!!
On the way to Egypt I looked out the window and saw the Alps. It was so beautiful. I'm such a fan of flying now. I honestly have no idea why people are so scared. The odds of a fatal airline crash are definitely in the traveler's favor. Much more so than driving.
