I hate being on passenger jets

I am forced to get on one for work every year, but I hate them because I have dreams all the time that I'm on one and it starts tilting upside down and I completely believe this is happening for real and that I'm gonna die.

    Not a ridiculous thing to be terrified of, since it has been known to happen. But as JustAHuman says, you're far more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash. Most people have perceptions of relative risks that don't reflect reality.

    I don't like flying either, but what bothers me most about it is being packed in a metal tube with a load of strangers for a few hours and being forced to breathe the air they've coughed and sneezed in. I think there's a good chance that, sooner or later, we'll see a pandemic of some airborne disease that has gone global mainly because of air travel.

    Normal. But you're much more likely to die in a car accident than in a plane crash.

    It's more likely a minimum wage TSA agent will strip rape you and throw you into a hole, never to be heard from again.

    The flying part doesn't bother me, it's just being trapped in a giant pringles can with 300 farts that I don't like

    I really enjoy flying, I just don't care for all the people on the plane, and I wish I could afford first class is all.

      I've been in first class before. It made me uncomfortable. It was like I was nobility and all the others behind me were resentful peasants.

        I don't know about all of that, but I love being pampered. One thing I really resent when I travel is that they don't give you the whole can of coke anymore. Then again, maybe I was on the wrong airline.

            Yeah, I HATE that bullshit. I haven't ordered a rum & coke on an airplane in ages, because I want the whole can. 🙁

              Wow... really? You don't get a whole can of coke?! That's just wrong... cost cutting at the wrong places.

              Lufthansa has free soft drink refills and free beer for the economy section.

              However, you can only have 2 whiskeys, or any other expensive drink if you fly Economy, maybe 3 if the stewardess is nice and your smile is genuine XD

      I fly twice a year, usually business class, (For Christmas and Easter) since I work out a deal with my bosses and cause I have a bunch of flight miles on my Lufthansa card I never used.

      It's nice to be at the front of the plane, with a free seat next to you, a warm meal and unlimited whiskey refills XD

      I've never flown first class tho, since most European flights are usually under 2 hours and the planes are smaller, 737s and A320s and don't have a dedicated first class.
