Plane Journeys

[Kieran]

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

[Inseriousity.]

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

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

I am very nervous because a lot of 'What if' questions drive my mind, because however small a probability it is, the things still could happen.

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

Love plane journeys so much!
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!

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.
