I'm not really afraid of flying. I just don't like it. It makes me feel yucky being in a confined space with recycled air with lots of sick people. I fly whenever I have to I don't try and avoid flying. I just hate being on the plane.

I was nervous my first time, but now I actually love flying. I get a tad bit nervous with turbulence, but not much.

I am not afraid to fly. I do think they have made it inconvient though. I have food allergies and they do not offer anything I could eat -- now they are considering taking away carry on bags. That would mean I could not bring anything to eat with me, and that is not fair or a good thing.

My son's college roommate just flew across country to go to college. His bags did not make it on the plane due to everyone checking their bags! The lost luggage got there a day and a half later, but that just stinks!

Thank you for this.
I didn't realize I've got a fear of flying until I took it.

Some great responses so far.

I've come to realize that the OLS community and it's members are a truly friendly and supportive bunch!

I now made the survey available online at:

This is a easier and more convenient way than copying and pasting the questions. But either way works.
