I'm going to be in an airplane for 10 hrs.? |
Travel Info I'm so scared of being in an airplane. When theirs turbulance, I start sweating. I'm going to be traveling in American Airlines.. Is this a good airline? Travel Tips American Airlines is a very safe airline, every airline in the United States is very safe. Turbulance is not dangerous at all. Planes can take ALOT of turbulance, more turbulance than 95% of pilots ever experiance in their life. Turbulance is nothing to be scared of. Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000. Statistically, you are at far greater risk driving to the airport than getting on an airplane. However, the perception is that you have more control over your fate when you are in your car than as a passenger traveling on an airplane. Experience shows otherwise, considering that over 50,000 people are killed on the highways every year. Media coverage would suggest that airline crashes happen every day. Studies have shown one would have to fly once a day every day for over 15,000 years in order to statistically be involved in an aircraft accident" Flying is very very safe. Don鈥檛 worry about terrorists that is the least likely thing to go wrong on a commercial flight in the US these days. Flying in the United States is very safe, there has not been a major airline crash in the US since November of 2001! That is a long time for no major crashes and only on fatality in the last seven years for the Major Airlines in the US. Even when there is a problem on an airplane, if an engine fails on takeoff or an engine fire etc.. 99% of the time the plane lands safely. Planes these days are amazing piece of technology and the pilots are trained better than ever. If you not afraid to drive in a car you should not be afraid to fly in a plane. Just sit back relax and try to enjoy the flight. Its one of the safest things you can do much safer than driving a car, walking down the street, or even sleeping in your house. More people have died on North American highways in the year 2006 than the amount of people who have died in powered flight aviation whole 104 year history! Also the best way to completely get over your fears is go to you local General aviation airport and take flying lessons! Once you fly in a small airplane a few times and learn that airplanes fly and that鈥檚 all they do you will be much more confident with flying on commercial planes. You will learn a lot with a few flying lessons. I could even teach you a lot by just showing you my Microsoft Flight Simulator. Flying is a great experience, once you get used to it and learn what makes airplanes fly etc.. your fears go away trust me, I used to be a little bit scared to fly too. Now I LOVE it. Others They're all safe. Not unless it gets hijacked and gets flown into a tower. Happens all the time. Thats a VERY good airline. Dont worry Im sure youll be fine :) ignore that guy he was just being a jerk. all airlines are safe and they wouldn't be operating if they weren't. Don't be scared and just relax, the less nervous you are, the less time it will seem to take. take advantage of that buffet cart and gameboys...lol. Good luck with your flight If you are really anxious about it, you can talk to your doctor about taking Xanax. It helps me on long flights. |
