I'm not scared as I've been flying regularly since the age of 7 -first hols in Greece.

Control freaks don't make good passengers.

Have visited the cockpit when it was still allowed and took my boys when young on BA flights -where they got special kids packs with crayons etc.

Don't "enjoy" flying though -mainly because of the hassle and stress of the check-in etc.

Parents spent 10.000 recently and flew business class to NZ to visit my sister -said it was fantastic. I can't afford it -so, unless Cilla jumps out and sends me over, I'll limit my trips too Tenerife, where parents live, and the UK for the peace of my heart and soul!

My son has a colleague who has taken him up in a small aircraft -he said it was sublime...may try it one day. Imagine gliding is the absolute tops for fliers!!
