Love flying on an A-380 it is so big you almost always have a smooth flight.


I've had one of the rare not-smooth flights on a 380. fricking awful. 400 screaming Chinese people and it added an extra hour to our 15 hour flight.

I used to not like flying, but I tackled the fear by learning more about flying. Turbulence is what really got me going, but I did research on how that affects the plane and how it's safe. Another thing that helped is by thinking about how many planes are actually in the air every day and how many of them don't crash.

TWA 800 and ValueJet crashes made me irrationally scared. I still fly at least a couple times a year. Each time gets a little better.

Last year we flew into Salt Lake City. The descent had the worst turbulence I ever experienced. Wife and I were split about 8 rows apart and I was in the very back row next to a couple older ladies and a flight attendant that was white-knuckling it. After one particular bad bump, I told the women around me that my face might be the last one they see. At least the tension was broken for a second.

Flying doesn't scare me at all. Having to take an uncontrollable dump on an airplane does. I don't eat or drink before a flight to ensure I don't have to use an airplane's bathroom.
