Do you remember your first plane ride? Where did you go, and did you enjoy it? Are you, or have you ever been, afraid to fly?

My first flight was down to Florida. 3 hours. Nothing too extreme. This was luckily before the migraine disorder kicked in years later. I loved it at the time, but I've hated it every time there after. Of course, the Florida trip was also before 9/11. I seem to recall that the "security" made entering a Best Buy look difficult.

Of course, almost every flight I've taken since then has been international to Frankfurt (or Dublin or Iceland for layovers), so I dunno how flying domestically works post-9/11. I assume it's probably just as obnoxious, though. The second you land in Europe, you realize how much more complicated it is living in a country with a target on its back. Getting in and out of Dublin or Frankfurt is as easy as walking through a door.

First and ONLY plane ride was not a ride TO anywhere, just up, up and circling around for about an hour, that was when I was 9, and it was very exciting but I wouldn't want to do it again.

never been on a plane

I flew to Atlanta when I was 20 and that was my first. I really liked it. Now, I don't mind flying too much, but it does make me more nervous.

My first plane ride was to Florida and I love flying!!!!

My first plane trips was to visit my moms family in PA when I was 7. I loved flying on the plane that 1st time and have loved all my plane rides since. On the flip I HATE driving long distances. I get stir crazy.

My first plane ride was about 4 yrs old. I remember me and my mother flew to SC. We flew quite a bit during the 80's because the tix were cheap. I have no fear of flying at all.

Now that I think about it I'm not certain when my first plane ride was. I think I was around 16 when I visited relatives in Chicago. I guess it was uneventful.

I've never been all that afraid to fly. I think my first plane ride was when I was 8 or 9. We went to Seattle. It was a fairly irritating ride because it took 4 hours to get there (which is a long time for a kid!) and my blind grandmother kept asking me to look at her watch and tell her what time it was. And she embarrassed this guy too - she unknowingly had her arm so far out into the aisle that she accidentally touched this guy's crotch who was passing by.

Nope - don't remember it. I was 3 and we were going to my grandparents for Christmas.

My first time on a plane was flying to Los Angelas to visit relatives. I was age 6 at the time. It was also my parents first time on a plane, I remember it being very "new" and "exciting" for all of us.

How many times have you guys been on a plane this year so far? Me, it's been twice so far.

Twice. Frankfurt to Dublin; Dublin to Boston.

My first plane ride was when I was 6....my mother and her friend from work took me and her friends kids to Disney World. Never been afraid to fly. It's fun.

Haven't been anywhere this year.
