Hello everyone :)
In the summer, I shall be going to South West Ireland on a plane (to see family). Thats great, however, im going on a plane on my own which is what im worried about. Im leaving at London Stanstead to Shannon via Aer Lingus. I have been before on my own, and it was rather scary.. My nan drove me to the airport, and came in with me and she couldnt go with me past the bit where you go through the metal detector. I walked through with a drink and I thought they wouldnt notice but, they did, and they threw it away :p I went around for like 20 minuites, lost, and then finally got on the plane. You might ask yourself "He has went before, so why is he worried now?" Because I hate planes and the thought of getting lost and suppousing there was a... terrorist attack..
Btw, im not nuts, im just worrying a bit..
Anyone went on a plane by theirselves before? And where too, and what was it like. Was you worried about anything?
Thanks, and im doing this post because im wondering, and it isint spam.
Sincerely,
Typo x

the chances of something happening to the plane are very low.
& obviously they would notice you taking a drink through, its their job to make sure everything is in order. & i have been on a plane, many times and i wasnt worried about anything because i know nothing will happen.

Have you ever wondered why car crashes are never on TV but plan crashes are? Its because car crashes happen daily and there is a much larger chance you will be involved in them than a plane crash. Plane crashes are only on the news mainly as they happen so rarely and partially for the fact so many people are involved if a crash occurs. The chances of a crash are very slim and flying is the safest form of travel I believe. You have nothing to worry about, even when there are plane crashes, normally some people survive and with 1000s of plans taking off every day all around the country I highly doubt your one would crash. Don't worry.. :) Also security has tightened up allot since 9/11 so its unlikely there would be an attack also its more likely to take place in America and also its very rare to happen your probably more likely to get shot whilst in your car to be honest.

No there not.
But Its perfectly safe. I have flown many times alone since I was 9. Contact the airline for help when flying alone 2 weeks ahead. Also in most cases if there is an emergency the crew will get you on the ground safely.

I fly usually about 2-3 times a month since I was born, i'm still here?
infact, i've never even came close to a crash.

A plane from London to Ireland wouldn't be in a terrorist attack.

I went around the world on my own practically, but i was 16.
I was scared espically in melasia(sp?) where i slept in a hotel because i was on my way to oz and it takes it outa you. Then when i got there i was met by family so i didnt mind. Only other thing i was scared about was on my way back i stayed in LA for a night again but i found that ok i just stayed in my hotel after 8.
About the terroists they mostly happen on trans atlantic flights eg: england to america, so dont worry and they go off at big airports so dw mate:)
secuirtiy(sp) is the best ever:)

I've never flown on my own but I did go on holiday to America a few months after 9/11 and it was fine. Plane crashes very rarely happen.

Yes, I have friends in real life, much much more than I have on Habbox. I ask you for help because the response is almost instant, and when I posted this it was late so I couldnt ring friends.
Get the teenage traveller thing, and get staff to bring you around.
When you get there, go throug passport control, then have a look around and then board the plane.
Just look at the sign's on the roof, you'll find it yourself.
And I went stansted on friday, it has changeddd :P.

I once read (I dunno where but it's always stuck in my mind) that you're more likely to crash on the way to the airport than on the plane itself.

You have a hundred times greater chance of dying on the car ride to the airport than you do on the plane.

The plane ride will last 20-30mins. Don't worry haha.

I heard rail is the safest.
FACT: For a 50% chance to have a plane crash, you would need to fly for 5hours everyday of the year.
Plus Ive flew on my own. When I was young. No not 12 years old .
Theres nothing wrong, buy mags, sweets and drink and youll be fine!
I take sweets, comics nd snacks. So id rec it

You are 3X more likely to be killed by your trousers than in a major air accident. True fact!

yes :rolleyes:
I go to tucson a lot, its easier to fly.
and whoever said rail was safer, i'm pretty sure thats even more dangerous than driving.
