Anyone else know a freaked out flyer?

[Dznypal]

one day he just dediced he was just going to do it!!!

he talked to my brother who used to be a pilot for Midwest at first they were just going to get a plane and take a ride--somewhere close but then my brother said as long as he was taking theis big step we should go somewhere so we took a long weekend and went to NYC!!!

We almost didnt make it though!!

The AM we were supposed to leave he was starting to get cold feet!!! My mom had come to our house to get the kids ready and off to school so she made sure we got out the door!!!

My brother was supposed to ride with us but then take the next flight back since he had a meeting he had to go to but he met us at the airport and if he wouldnt have I know we wouldnt have gotten to NY

We got all checked in and went to the gate DH had to use the restroom--a few minutes later my brother came up and asked where DH was--I told him and he went to find him he came out with his hands like he's not in there!! I thought oh fine he just left me here and went home!!!

well it took my smooth talking brother to talk him on the plane!!! once he got his butt on the plane he was fine!!!

I called my mom to let her know we got there and she had my brother on the other line so she told me my brother was just waiting by the door hoping he wouldnt see the plane turn around and let DH off

we always love the Bob Newhart show where he takes his fear of flying group and Emily is afraid to fly

Once we got to our hotel my DH said the cab ride to the hotel was scarier then the flight

and since he got his "wings" in 1997 we,ve been to hawaii 3 times and of course WDW many many times

I was looking at some flights to MCO on AA from MSP. Some of the flights to MCO had a plane change in Miami. The flight from Miami to MCO was listed as 1 hour 6 minutes. You said 22. Is it really that short? I couldn't believe that it would actually be 1 hour and 6 minutes!

Thanks..

I fly from Ft. Lauderdale, they don't fly out of Miami! (Southwest that is). And yes its 22 minutes AIR TIME the pilot said so.

Ah, airtime is much different than the times they will list as your travel time--which also includes pushing back from the gate, taxi-ing to the right runway, waiting for traffic to clear, takeoff and landing, then taxi-ing to your gate (with an extra couple minutes built in for delays).

As for medicating myself for flights, the number ONE reason I do it is so dd won't "learn" from me to be afraid of flying. OK, maybe it's number TWO.

She loves to fly.
