I was so scared! It was a journey I had to go! my boss could see through my fear. But had to. I said my prayers, confessed my sins and got nervous for most part of the flight! Still get scared still! terrible invention i call it!

I was too young to remember my first day on a plane.

I was like 13 then. Scary? funy? i'll say both.

Plane  

abeg lets talk abt luxurious bus.

The first tyme i entered Ekene Dili Chukwu 4rm Aba to Lagos.
we took off very early in d morning and got 2 lagos around 9pm
It was a 9ice xperience.

if I have ever been on plane it was when I was in my mum's tummy, apart from that I never plane ooooo but God is my witness, I will own a private Jet. won't you say Amen,


     gush!!!


    its not important   

I was already a grown man and it was a C-130 military plane. The plane is so rugged, entrance is through the tail end of the plane. i had a little view of the window because we sat side by side just as they do when you are on a TATA lorry. We backed the windows. The windows are not many like the commercial planes. The taking off and landing is done in a military way(no ceremoney) no announcement from the pilot, but they are professionals. You guess on your own if the plane is taking off or landing. Pitching and rolling is done in a hard way. There was nothing to be afraid of, loud noise from the propeller, ear drums popping etc.

I have got phobia 4 aeroplanes, so i go on the ship and cruise via the sea instead

Try and ova com it ooooooo

ummm first time i was on a plane was when I was a baby

but my first time actually remembering it . .
I fly all by myself when I was ten years old to visit my aunt who lived in Odessa Texas.
I was scared, but the attendants pampered me so much because I was so young that it was really fun!

I slept off,only to wake up and listen to different "vaboo" from first timer like me.

i was excited going on the trip but when the plane took off, it felt like i was falling into a bottomless pit. i sat with a nice lady who talked out of my fear. it was a nice trip

nice

What was it like ooooooooooo? Okay, it was like nothing, Oh it was like my first time in a lift.

well, i was sitting beside this cute chic, so i had to form "everything is okay"

Man mi I remember my experience vividly, menh I use to tot flying on a plane was the coolest thing ever, like meeting fine babes or potential bizz partner, newayz let get to the story. My first experience was when Naija airways (abi na airline) still dey fly obodo oyinbo. I was happy and looking forward to this 15hrs trip (Non-stop). Firstly the way the inside of the plane dey smell like dead ratz the luggage area was mad too small, it only contain 2 small luggages (while unlike other planes u can fit close to 4 medium bags). Then come the food part, chei only in Nigeria will dey serve you ofoda rice (the type of rice that contains sand) with one humongous bush meat, menh I chop the meat for the whole 15hrs. Then come the story of the crazy passengers, e be like se we dey dress market the way iya risika and iya tawa dey yawn in loud tone , menh they spoke for like , the whole 15hrs, they were actually calling one and another iya basira bawo loja (how is market) iya kubura ijo wo loma losi south Korea( when r u going to s/Korea) iya ibidun, taye lolu nko (how is taye) and the hostess or wat ever they call themselves couldn't caution them, bear in mind there's is no T.V on naija airways, just one big screen that display current location of the plane, and guess what pple, the screen suddenly stopped working 3hrs to the flight. Now I have to listen to all these dress market yawn and to add salt to injury, there were no fine babe(s) na so so woowoo ppl dey the flight, and both take off and landing of the plane na like watching SAW V. that stuff was scary as hell, I could go on but ama stop right here, any how shaa

  Naija  for laf

^^^^^
wow. almost unbelievable. pele k?

first time on a plane, was little, but i stil rmbr some stuff. i know it was to China cos il nvr forget the people there (short and funny lookin) and that was the first time i ate rice and veggie. urgh. nyway i rmbr crying a loot on the plane, and i refused to be pacified until my dad bought me two ribenas. i gave one to some white girl cos her skin looked funny to me too, and we walked arnd the plane together. funny no one stoppd us. my mom was all to relieved of my incessant crying to try.

since then, iv been an odd child lool. i love take-offs and landings, and the only thing nice about the rest of the flight is turbulence. Popsi was pretty scared when we flew together (first time that happend) and i kept muttering 'turbulence please for God's sake'

I wasn't scared at all on my first flight and I was alone, i dint feel a thing
But the second one was so scary with so much turbulence and was with my boyfriend
Since then and till now am always scared of flying, but i have to.
Sometimes i avoid travelling cos of fear of flight
People tell me i need to overcome it,

the first experience was when i was a baby,fm NIGER TO UK AND WITHIN NIGER ACCOURDING TO MY PARENT,BUT THE ONE I COULD REMEMBER WAS AT MY 20YRS OF AGE TO ASIA,GUY,I POSED NOWW,NO Bleep UP,BECAUSE I WATCH ALOT OF AMERICAN FILMS SO WOULD HAVE GOTTEN SOME KNOWLEGE THERE ONLY THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING EAR BLOCKAGE BUT EACH TIME I SWALLOW MY SALAVA IT CLEARS.

IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED FUN FOR ME.
depending on the airline you work for, those sexy uniforms
like Virgin Atlantic
you have an easy job of basically handing out food and drinks, you get to travel and get paid for it! you get to fly (and boy do i love that feeling)
i used to pen pal (well not pen pal, more like e-pal) with a flight attendant, and i am so jealous of her job. she has too much fun, so many adventures!
i see it as being easy and fun, cause its surrounded with all the stuff i love.

Have u watched any of the numerous episodes of 'AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION' or 'SECONDS FROM DISASTER'?

thank you!!! was gonna bring it up but didn't want to derail this thread.

YESSSSSSSSS I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES. i've watched every episode of Air Crash Investigation but not "Seconds From Disaster"
i know the show is scary and it may give you the creeps or make you never want to get on a plane ever again, but i find shows like that very interesting, cause I'm an aviation lover. 
but what's with you trying to discourage me?

Nice to knw I'm nt alone in this "wierd" progrme. I tot I m d only person dt loves it. Dt's my best, & best, & d best TV prgrme 4 me. I learn a lot from it. Mayb, we shall a thread to discuss d episodes we watched. I love planes badly. At times, I feel I can fly one without going thru d training; just by watching AC investigation. Thanks dear

Tnx Olisa,
That's my favourite TV progrme. I can do without it

But, I disagree wit u concerning your stats. Most crashes are caused by human error - from the ground crew, to the cabin crew error.

.i ws y0ung abt 3 yearz. . .bt flying is aWEs0me!!

It was cool. was tyold i would throw up, but didn't.

My first experience.
Virgin Nigeria from Owerrri to Lagos.
It was not a good experience,everybody have already boarded the plane.
I was the last to enter.
I was scared,could not buckle the belt, couldn't eat.
Thanks for the help of the man that sat down beside me.He noticed my anxiety and said
to me"First experience is always like that".
Despite the fact that i am a high flier i still have phobia for flying

My first day on a plane was when I was 10 yrs old leaving from murtala airport to the US via amsterdam. I was expecting an entrance on the ground where I climb on the steps like in the movies, so I was shocked when I was led into a corner that lead me inside a plane. At first, I didn't even know I was on a plane untill take off. I remembered my aunt had made puff puff and she put it in a cooler for us to eat on the plane. Till today, I still don't know what happen to that puff puff.  That day was the last time I was in Nigeria and I haven't been back since. I thought airline food was disgusting and I refused to eat anything except tootsie roll candy.  There was a white lady that ate everything on her plate spot clean and I kept looking at her like is the food really that good? She was looking at me crazy because everytime they gave me a plate of food, I wouldn't touch it the flight attendant will come back and pick the plate just as it was when the food was given. I was an unaccompany minor with my 2 siblings, so we were on our own and I was the oldest at 10yrs old. I get motion sickness, so by the end of my plane ride, I had thrown up on myself. I remembered they took me in another room to wipe me down. When I got to amsterdam, I didn't understand their english. It was too fast for me. They ask whether I had any weapons in my luggage and since I didn't understand what she was asking I nod my head and said yes. The woman had a concern look on her face untill one nice yoruba man explained what she was saying to me in Yoruba and then I change my answer.  They took us to some place where we stay for some hours untill our plane arrived.  whew, That was the longest plane ride of my life. I wasn't scared or afraid. I just felt nauseous through out the plane ride especially from amsterdam to the US.
