I absolutely adore flying. Most of my travels have been pleasant. Have had a couple bad experiences but all in all it's been great. It's all an adventure to me. Been quite interesting flying with a toddler. Planes get me to the places I have always wanted do to go a lot quicker and airports are a great place to people watch.

I always enjoy flying, especially when I am going somewhere to play golf. Next spring I am planning to fly into Albany, NY, rent a car, play some golf, go to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and, most importantly, meet a very good friend and catch up on things. I love to travel.
Hate snoopy air port security, hate uncomfortable seating next to people that don't fit in their own seat. But love being in the air, love bush planes, love turbulence and high winds.
I enjoy every flight. Have to agree that the corporate/private jets provide the nicest service. But there are many good commercial airlines.
Flying is very boring if I can't sleep.
Not terrified, don't 'love it'..... the whole traveling thing is exciting yes. But I'm not crazy about being sat in a seat for long hours, cramped, barely 6 inches away from other people lol. I'm not so claustrophobic that it causes problems for me, but I don't like it, that's for sure. Thank godddddd now for in-flight tv/movies.

Check out my latest story: Drawn to Addy - Part 2 Eh, not too fussed either way. I get nervous on take-off and landing, but other than that I'm really REALLY bored!
Love flying, hate TSA, airports, and the airlines
As long as I am inside the airplane, I love it.
It's a means to an end... Flying is ok, but what I don't like is all the airport security nonsense and waiting between flights and especially..... packing!
I love flying, im join the air force and i couldn't be happier
I love to fly but I don't like taking off for some reason. I went to Europe this past may and only thing I got concerned about was the connecting flight. Was afraid I would miss it.
The thrill of flying is gone for me once I've been in the air over three hours. This summer I flew from the east coast to the west coast and contemplated driving back. It just become too cramped and stuffy for me. Next time I will pay to upgrade to first class if the flight is four hours or more.
I love to fly. I just hate the air ports.
Used to fly quite alot but now I take the car cause the ques are off putting
i love flying. i still feel like a child when i look out and see the clouds. still loathe going through the hassles in the airport, but it's worth it once in the sky.
Most of the time, I associate flying with something exciting -- a vacation, a trip to visit my beloved, etc. I also take the opportunity to read while I wait at the airport and on the plane. Therefore, I usually enjoy it. However, quite a lot associated with flying is a big hassle, though, and I don't enjoy the cramped seats.
I went through a phase where I was terrified of flying -- when I had not done it for a long stretch of time. I still get nervous where there is turbulence, but mostly I am fine.
I don't mind it, but if I can drive there within four hours, it's not worth the airport hassles to fly.
I generally hate airports, but the one in town is small and well laid out and not crowded. Easy to get in of and out of quickly. So living here has made flying a lot less annoying.
Other than that, I like flying, I love lift-off, and I love watching the landscape pass by. It also gives me a huge chunk of time to disappear into a book, which is nice. And I associate it with traveling to somewhere fun, to hang out with people I enjoy.
So I do not exactly love it (particularly airports not in my town), but I enjoy it.
Lots of conflicting emotions... I love flying but all the hassles associated with it are a pain! I used to fly economy because I'm Scotch and a big cheapskate, but I hated cross-country flights cuz economy seats are so cramped, so I started flying first class and felt guilty for spending the extra money, and some of my friends couldn't afford first class so when I fly with friends, I'm back to economy and miserable again. Then there's the TSA. I'm on Pre-check and my friends have to go through hell, and I feel guilty about that when I just breeze through and then have to wait for them. Then there's O'Hare International, where I've had several travel disasters and missed connections... worst airport ever!
Then there's open cockpit, which I love! I flew in a Stearman bi-plane with an aerobatics pilot, and we did loops and rolls, and that was awesome. I also flew in a bush float-plane in upper Canada couriering legal documents to my boss while he was on a fishing trip, and that was both fun and hell because of a horny old pilot who wouldn't stop hitting on me all the way there and back.
Flying is fun. It's a new perspective on the world, but getting through all the hassles associated with it can be frustrating.
i love flying and really enjoy take off (actually find it erotic...at least when i am paying attention)
My sister has a total crippling phobia of flying...any advice from lush gang about how she can best deal with this?
