bearshortyCatching up to this meme from last week, from most of my flist.
1. Where did you go the last time you took an airplane ride?
Miami to New York in June 2016. We all went to Miami on vacation.
2. Are you a nervous flyer or a comfortable flyer?
I'm nervous until it's time to actually go to the airport. Once we are there and in the air I feel ok. I'm not a big fan of flying but it is a good way to get from place to place. I do get nervous on take off but once we are cruising I just distract myself.
3. Window seat or aisle seat?
Window seat. I do like to look outside and it feels roomier too. Bear likes a window seat too, so we usually trade when we fly together: I get the window one way and he gets the window coming back.
4. What is the worst experience you've had flying?
We were flying from Warsaw to Minsk in May 2001 on the very, very small plane. And there was turbulence so it was a very bumpy ride. That was the longest hour. The only thing that kept me relatively calm are the crew who were very blase.
5. What is the best experience you've had flying?
Virgin Atlantic flights to London and back. Just lots of nice options for entertainment, food was good and good atmosphere in general.
Runner up was a smallish plane I took to Kentucky for a conference - the young flight attendant was very funny and entertained us all with a lot of jokes. There was just a jovial atmosphere because of him.
