ReplyDeleteI'm not afraid to fly but I met a girl in the airplane coming to USA who have it. That was a little scary for me because I never met a person like her before. However, I talked with her all the trip in order to distract her attention from the flight.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I am afraid of flying, but I'm not scared to death of flying. If I think about a plane crash, I pray in my heart to ask God to protect me. Also, I think more sincerely about what I can do better. On the other hand, I quite enjoy when the plane takes off. Randy Lin
ReplyDeletei'm not afraid to fly but it is normal to be nervous because it is a thing that we usually do not do. my advice is to be calm an do not sit next to the window because it produce more sounds and the capacity to see when the airplane leave or arrive.
ReplyDeleteI am always afraid of flying, or i sometimes have a little fear. But it's not like i will not fly, i dont have a trauma or something. I just close my eyes and try to sleep, so i won't feel like i'm flying and the time will go fast. As well some flies are so peaceful that i dont even notice i'm in a plain. But when is moving i got really scared, so i listen to music to calm down.

Yes! I believe news like this always cause people afraid to fly. I like to traveling, but I am scared to fly, especially when I am flying alone without any family or friends. I tried to put myself in sleep in most of time on the way flying to the U.S. or prayed when I was awake. I think one of the reasons that I am afraid of flying because aviation accident can be prevent, but sometimes it happens with unknown factor.

ReplyDeleteI am not afraid to fly, but when I came to the United States, The plane keeps shaking because of unstable airstream. So I was nervous. I have some advice. First, try to sleep. Second, when you cannot sleep, focus on drama or movie.
