How many times have you been on an airplane

[WaTaGuMp]

Yeah. I did one to australia, but I was in business class so it wasn't bad. The 10hr flights to europe in coach are brutal though for us tall folk.

I have about a 5 hour drive coming up in February, that alone will suck. Even 3+ hour drives to Vegas I get antsy.

 

[Kobota]

I've only flown once, though i didn't stick around for the landing. Went skydiving

 

[Kirby]

10 maybe. most suck.

 

[The Stigenator]

flown enough times to know what it feels like to fly.

 

[AstroManLuca]

I just went through all of the ones I can remember and it works out to a little over 30 total flights, but that's including transfers and return trips.

Nice.

LOL!

Usually once a week at a prior job I would get up, drive 4 hours, work for 8, and then drive 4 hours back home. Some jobs would be a 6 hour each way drive. And yes, all by lonesome self. I appreciated satellite radio at the time.

I have a friend and for Xmas 2009 they got themselves a plane. I haven't been in it yet, hopefully some day. I wanna try a small plane.

 

[vshah]

highlight was definitely the concorde...i got to go with my dad on a business trip

I know its sad on my part, its just being confined to one spot. I don't go ballistic or anything, just need to move around etc.

Now it is just too expensive.

Anyone have time on the really long flights, like 12 hours or longer? Those seem like they would be brutal.

Japan
Korea
Austria
Hawaii (9 hours)

All of them sucked, except on the way back from Korea. Korean Air is freaking sweet.

came close several times commercially for work and a few times for pleasure in a small personally owned aircraft, but alas, it never happened. I've always wanted to fly as long as i can remember (preferrably in a small aircraft, not crammed into an airliner).

Iceland is almost that long. I hated it. Especially on those tiny seats. Got hemorrhoids each trip. I prefer napping as much as possible to kill time. But crying kids destroy that.

Lol, special services provided? 😉

Yeah the last good flight I had was back before 9/11. They've all been shit since. Partly due to security, partly the economy making them cheap asses.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I try to fly every week. Not because I have places to go, just because I've grown to love the groping.

My Sacramento trip was after 9/11, I was expecting it to be a horror fest. Ended up being pretty easy.

Kind of sucks that you have to show your ticket before they'll grope you.

26 hours gate to gate from STL-> Cape Town, South Africa
20-ish hours (IIRC) from STL-> Seoul, Korea

I'm 6'5" and both were personal travel - coach. With small kids (just one to SA, 2 to Seoul).

Otherwise, I've been to Hawaii a few times, Mexico once, the northeast a few times (NY/Boston/etc), the west / southwest a bunch (AZ & CA), and Seattle once.

Probably 50 or so flights.

 

[JimmiG]

Probably 10-15 times in total. I flew a lot in the 90's and early 00's, even domestically.

Then we got the high-speed X2 trains which didn't take that much longer than flying, especially if you included baggage/security checks and the travel time to/from the airport.

Now that our railway system is collapsing while budget airline companies are popping up everywhere, I might start flying more again...

26 hours, man how out of whack does that make you?

How cool are those high speed trains? They look like it would be fucking awesome doing 200mph+.

 

[coxmaster]

About twice this week..

This month? Hell I dunno. I guess being a pilot makes me flight quite frequently
