It will be My first time Flying What should I expect?

Question

I'll be flying from upstate ny to fort meyers florida. How long can I expect the trip to be, if weather is fair. I'll be going in Feburary. I flown before but is was when I was a baby, and I have no recollection of it.

So what can I expect when flying for the first time?

Answer 1

OK, your flight should be from 3-4 hours. You should expect many weird sounds:

* Takeoff- Gear, flaps, thumping sounds, etc.
* Landing- Gear, flaps, thumping sounds, a lot of eeeerrr! sounds. :)

And then during takeoff, when you lift the ground, it's going to feel a little weird. It's normal. All of the weird sounds are normal. Also, on cruise, when you hit turbulence, it's going to feel kinda like bumps in the road in a car. But a little smoother and not so bumpy. It's a hard feeling to explain. You should see the wings *flexing* during turbulence. NORMAL! Made to do that.

Have a great flight!!!

Congratulations! You're finally entering the world of air travel!
Your flight should be around 2.5 - 3 hours (that's the amount of time for NYC La Guardia - Orlando). There will probably be a snack service, unless you're in first class (here, you may get a meal).
Depending on the airline and/or aircraft, you'll hear many different noises. Don't worry, these noises are supposed to be happening. Some sounds you will hear may include:
-dings and chimes (fasten seatbelts, no smoking; ding-dong - door is closed)
-engine startup and shutdown
-flaps (sounds like an electric motorcycle, but without change in tone) (before takeoff, and on approach and landing)
-takeoff (sounds like a very loud roar)
-gear (sounds like thumping noises)
-landing (includes thumps, roar from engines' reverse-thrusters (helps to slow the plane))
-babies crying (you won't hear this if you're lucky :)
I haven't been on a Boeing plane recently (unfortunately), but on the Airbus A320 family (318,319,320,321), you will hear a high pitched hum while you're on the ground and at least one of the engines is off. Also, after startup and after shutdown, you will hear multiple "squeaks". They're fun to hear!)

When pushing back from the gate, the airplane will rock back and forth gently, while you back up. When taxiing to the runway, you don't feel that much. However, when the airplane begins takeoff, you will feel like you are being pushed back into your seat. This is because of g-forces. When you rotate and leave the ground, you may feel like you're being pulled down. When the airplane banks to turn, you won't feel to much. During turbulence, the aircraft bumps a lot, and the wings may look like they are shaking. This is normal; they do that so that the rough air passes over/under the wing more smoothly. When descending (approaching/landing), you may feel like you're weightless time to time; this is because the aircraft is losing altitude (this is supposed to happen).
When you land, the aircraft will thump and shake when the wheels touch down. The flaps should be extended, and then, usually airbrakes/spoilers (rectangular panels on the wing that fold up) will deploy. If you're seated by the engine, you may see it deploying reverse-thrusters; this could look like the back of it is sliding off, or the sides are folding out. Once you slow down enough, everything will return to its original place.
Enjoy your flight!

OK i live in Florida and its like always sunny and right now the weather is windy and February is a good month climate is the pretty much the same. you ears might start popping sounds because of the altitude but will stop, the nosies from the airplane, and you get to see the sky and look at the clouds and everyone and thing looks like little ants. all you have to do is entertain yourself for the flight and time flies.

Answer 4

the flight will probably be about 3 or 4 hours long. depending on what airline you will be traveling by depends on what type of food you will recieve. it could be just crakers or a hamburger. you can expect everthing on land to look like ants. you will enjoy the view. i like flying. its relaxing.

Answer 5

you no more stand on the ground
