I don't like it but fortunately my parents put me on a plane when I was about 13. It is a necessary evil for me. Many of the places I fly too are impossible to drive to, Europe and Hawaii, or too dangerous to drive to, central America. I will not go on a cruise or anything. I think it is the loosing control and being locked up that gets me. I normally travel with children so I need to behave and show no fear even if it is the worst turbulance I have ever been in. I do spend a lot of time in the bathroom as I can not handle the stuffiness of a plane combined with the side to side motion or roll that happens at times. I have been known to request the pilot to blast cold air to the back else my tummy would empty.
And yes, I also hate the getting ready of going on a flight, the right weight and size of the suitcase, packing for the whole family, my food allergies, my DS 9's food allergies, making it in time, waiting and then being stuck in too small a seats on top of total strangers. Ugh and I was thinking of going to Hawaii this year. Maybe a drive up the SoCal coast will do.
