Plane Journeys

The one thing that makes me laugh is when the aircraft hits a large air pocket and drops a few hundred feet and everyone just gasps thinking they're going down :D

No I'm generally fine although the ears popping is awful for me. "chew gum", im chewing away and its not working! :(

It's the swallowing that equalises out pressure... not chewing :D

Haha. The best thing to do is have a mint and keep swallowing. Its because you need to equalise pressure between your ear and your throat :)

Exactly my thoughts but I just hope for the best.
Going down is the best part, cos the boring trip is over :P

Love plane journeys so much! :D
Only been on a place twice and I hated the journey there but loved it on the way back for some reason! Love take off, love flying, love landing! :D

Plane journeys don't bother me much. I just take a book or something and usually end up sleeping through everything anyway.

Landing and takeoff is fun, so is turbulence. Long flights are just boriung though

I do worry sometimes but it does ease off once we take off; its just the ear popping and boredom that really irritates me.
