    Yeh I hate the fact that I'm 40,000 feet above the ground with a life jacket..

    I still do it most years though!

    I am not so comfortable to ride the plane, because my ear is not fit when in the high level.

    Not at all, however with the number of incidents Qantas has had in the last week I probably would be if I was going on a plane.

    I am afraid to a certain extent. You have no control when you up in an airplane. It is not like when you are driving a car, you have control of the car, you have the wheel. In an airplane, you put your life in someone else' hands and you don't know who else is on that plane with you. You don't know if you are on the plane with a terrorist or a hijacker etc so it can be a scary feeling.

    It depends on the weather. I've flown so many times that the actual process doesn't bother me, but I don't think I'll ever get used to bad turbulence.

    No, I'm more afraid of the journey to and from the airport. Cars scare me, planes don't.

    Not a regular flier myself, but when I have done I have always been calm- never scary for me!
