Hi I am David,and it’s been a very long time since I last went on holiday on a plane. More than 10 years ago was the last time I fainted when flying. It was pretty clear to me that something was wrong, yet I didn’t feel or think that I was scared of flying, it just happened. After all that mess happened, I decided to give planes a miss for as long as possible, having holidays in my own country was good enough for me. About 2 years into my marriage, it was time to face my fears and get on a plane, all that way to Egypt, a massive mission!

Right, flashbacks of jumping on the plane happy as Larry and waking up on the other side (without any recollection of flight) started to happen… When i came back from my previous holiday I passed out on my way back as well, so I haven’t actually experienced flying yet! I decided to “Man Up” as one of my friends had told me and I didn’t say anything to my wife, I just got on the plane. So I sat down, and nothing seemed to happen, my heart wasn’t racing and everything seemed fine, I could see straight as well. Even after the four massive engines under the wings started going and we approached the run way i was fine!

This was all strange, I couldn’t understand why I passed out the previous time, and before I knew it, we were in the air. I was actually getting pretty excited about my holiday now. I was really looking forward to getting to Egypt, and then jumping back on the plane. Everything just couldn’t stay going all smooth could it! Across the loud speakers, the Captain could be heard announcing that some heavy turbulence was heading our way. OK I braced myself, and it was really rocking and shaking from side to side, I was really scared, and there was even a storm outside, things couldn’t have looked much worse. And then all of sudden it stopped, but my heart didn’t. I never thought I would be saying this, but I kind of wish I blacked out!

Egypt holidays Didn’t actually appeal to me that much, and i never went back, next up was a decision between Maldives holidays or Sri Lanka holidays, both involve a aeroplane!
