Has anyone here flown on an airplane since September 11? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian · 07-30-2002, 10:25 PM

A week from today, I am flying from San Diego, CA to Sacramento, CA. I have not been on an airplane since I was little (a decade or so ago) and after what happened on 9-11 I am sort of a little leery about flying. During the times I did fly, I had no fear of flying and, in fact, that was my preferred way of transportation when going on long trips. Has anybody here been on an airplane since the terrorist attacks? If so, explain how it went or what happened. I'd really like your input.

I have. We got "randomly selected" to get searched 3 times.

dawsongirl · 07-30-2002, 10:54 PM

Yeah, I flew the October after. I was very scared, but everything went fine. I did however get searched twice while my folks got off scot free.

I'll be coming back the day you come here, I live in Sacramento. It's a pretty dull city, are you gonna go on vacation here, because the only thing good is the mall. They also have a cool train but it dumps people off where the gangsters and homeless are. The capitol is prettyyyy though. I'm scared of flying though, and I'm going to Florida more than 5 hours on a plane!!!!!!!!

I've never flown on a plane in the first place... I'm sort of scared to now though because of all the risks.

I flew to and from Florida about 3 weeks ago, and on the way there I was terrified, but everything turned out to be fine. I don't think I am even nervous about flying anymore. Now it is even safer to fly since the protection is even more safer now. :-)

I didnt fly i havent since i was in 1st grade! But my bro flew to and from Washington Dc and he was OK!

I've only been on a plane once (there and back). My mom actully just visited her parents in Ohio. Actully she got back only 2 days ago. She said that everything was fine. I may go to Ohio in the fall on a plane. I'm not scared about getting on a plane.

I recently took a trip to the UK and Ireland. And honestly, I was more afraid of the plane just crashing than a terrorist attack.
The waiting and the security wasn't a big deal. Not as much of a big deal that I thought it would be.

When I came back, the custom guy was more interested in whether I had been on a farm over there. You know, foot and mouth...

One thing to put in perspective: Thousands of planes take off everyday from airports across the world everyday. And when the last crash that you've heard of? Just think, thousands of people got to and fro today, and yesterday and the day before...perfectly fine.

i did yesterday (7/30)

I flew to Colorado This past May and I wasn't really that scared..the people we were going with were checked a few times.

I don't fly. No thanks, not for me.

FOLrocks1 · 07-31-2002, 12:24 PM

I haven't EVER been in a plane before OR after.

Rockapella722 · 07-31-2002, 01:05 PM

No, because I have no money to go anywhere.

We're going on a band trip in March to NYC to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, but it's too expensive to take a plane and the trip is already about $850 a person. 20 hours on a bus with a bunch of people I don't like... Whoo-hoo.
