How old were you when you first flew in an airplane, and what was the experience like?

Answer 1

Ten, on the way to Thailand from San Francisco for two years.

It was OK, I mainly remember the Braniff Airlines Stewardesses, as they wore wildly colored mini skirts. Maybe that was on the way back in 67.

I also remember getting hit with the very high heat and humidity in Hong Kong and Bangkok.

Answer 2

The youngest I can remember was at age 6 and my first airplane ride was an international flight of all things! I remember there were so many people and they were just sitting there, all facing the same direction, in their seats doing nothing and I wondered why no one would walk down the never ending rows. I kept throwing up and I also remember having this headache that would never stop. It was not fun and I wondered why I there and why it never seemed to end. It was a flight from the Philippines to California, U.S.A.

Answer 3

I think I was about 10. Family vacation to San Diego. We flew on American from O'hare to Dallas to San Diego on a DC-10. This was in the 80's when airlines were using widebodies like DC-10s for some domestic flights, not so much anymore. I loved it, of course, because I was a kid. Since then flown on everything from a CRJ to 747, C172, Jet Ranger, Blackhawks, Chinooks. Flying never gets old for me.

Answer 4

I was a baby going to the Philippines. Therefore, I don't remember how it was like. Lol. But now, since I'm grown up, the plane ride sucks, no humidity so when you get out of the plane, your skin becomes dry, and your parched. But the philippines is wonderful

Answer 5

I was sixteen..and the plane was about the size of a crop duster ...going up wasn't bad at all...the landing wasn't exactly the same..we had to circle over a river to approach the landing strip and we hit some ,I guess you could call it turbulence....it made for a very bumpy ride to say the least...lol....It wasn't really all that bad...although, I will say I almost lost my crumpets.......
