Please remind me why I (and you) like flying

[mosschops30]

I'm going to Cyprus on Thursday.

Used to have a crippling flying phobia, but after a bit of a lifechanging experience involving a cancer hospital I decided it was stupid and that I wasnt going to let it bother me anymore.

Ive been on a few flight since and been fine (actually enjoyed it), but on the last one a couple of weeks ago I could feel the niggles creeping back in. In fact I wanted to get off on the flight home

So please try and restore my confidence, remind me why i like it, and why you like it?

TIA

you like it because it results in being somewhere lovely and new and exciting!

can you still think about those things when its bumpy?

I know but i still have flashbacks to episodes of aircrash investigation

i dont like flying! (im not scared or bothered by it but i dont like it)

I only landed 2 weeks ago but in 4 days time im flying again (what a jetsetter i am lol )

flying deosnt give me any pleasure....

arriving in a lovely destination is good though

Didn't you pluck up the courage to go somewhere a few months ago Mossy?
it was fine wasn't it?!

yes moondog was fine i just want to find a way of banishing those old demons that keep creeping back into my head

I imagine I am on a coach, not a plane.

And actually a coach is bumpier than a plane!

Busy yourself staring at the other passengers and their awful clothes and habits.

Because people who don't fly miss out on so much. And because you are many, many more times likely to die in a car accident than in a plane crash. But you get into a car OK, don't you?

yes all true
love that maidamess I love people watching, and a have a fab book that I'm just getting into so that'll help
