Andrew Gibbons will spend the next 38 of 48 hours on airliners -- for fun.

The 29-year-old Northern Californian, who admits to being an airline geek, simply couldn't pass up the chance to fly on United Airlines' inaugural flight from Washington's Dulles International Airport to Beijing yesterday.

he apparently likes random pressure changes, freeze-dried sandwiches, and being compressed between the sweaty hambodies of fat americans!

I can't survive an airplane flight without books and a gameboy

I find it hard to do much of anything on an airplane. I'm almost six feet and a wide load, so the 70s built airliners are cramped for me (I prefer JetBlue) and I can never see those damn monitors they space out every three rows (too tall). The pressure, the mood and the constant people shuffling about make it difficult for me to focus on playing simple games or reading books. Airplanes are kind of tedious.

Airplanes are fine, it is the wait that gets to me. I'm sitting there flying to Miami and I'm like OH MY GOD ARE WE THERE YET, and I try to think of stuff to do. I've discovered that by playing Puzzle Quest, I can shave at least an hour or so off without even thinking.

flying is truly my one fear... and i was over halfway to getting my pilots license earlier in life... i sit there listening to every sound the plane makes... just waiting for the huge explosion or wing falling off... drives me nuts...

I've never flown on a plane before.

I was concerned with the whole crashing thing, but there's nothing really to be afraid of. You only see news stories of plane wrecks because they rarely happen. You take as much of a risk flying than you do getting into a car on the ground and driving around to do your errands.

Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000.

Statistically, you are at far greater risk driving to the airport than getting on an airplane. However, the perception is that you have more control over your fate when you are in your car than as a passenger. Experience shows otherwise considering that over 50,000 people are killed on the highways every year.

I like planes but I dont like buying two tickets just for me.

The worst part about flying is being fuck all bored/annoyed on the plane, and the hassle at the airport, especially if you fly international a lot. Going through customs is shitty.

Especially when they decide to do a random bag check and go through your luggage...then when you reach your destination you find everything you took with you is in a huge disarray or broken or whatnot. :/

Yeah, fuck, I ironed my clothes for a reason, douchebags. The only time I didn't mind having a bag check done was when I left Japan. They opened the bag right in front of me. This tiny Japanese girl wearing white gloves gently removed all of my items and handled them with the utmost care, then meticulously re-folded all the clothes she had taken out and put them back exactly as they were. I was impressed, cause yeah, when I've flown international usually I just have my luggage rummaged through like it's just a box of junk.

When I came back to Japan from the holidays I took some games and DVDs back with me. Man, the customs people went nuts, they changed where everything was and when I finally landed and opened the suitcase, half the cases were broken. :santocry

This is the lamest thing ever. I mean, come on.

My friends have been extremely lucky with bringing back bootleg DVD's (one time one of them brought a full suitcase and just recently one friend brought 200 from china) but if you're wearing a scarf going past airport checkpoints, they'll pat you down or strip search you in US (happened to my mother).

I've only had my luggage gone through once and the guy checked half our bags (12 suitcases and he wasn't that bored) and he was really gentle and used latex gloves.

Off topic, burger king tastes better in germany. I don't know what it is. Maybe it has hash in it. It's just so FRESH.

That's why I'm getting a killer robot arm grafted onto where my penis is. Then when some customs person gives me a hard time, I'll pull down my pants and Mr. Death 3000 (that's the robot arm model) will totally kill them. It comes in a stealth form for girls too. You know, it goes up the sniz.

hehe, vagina. k so yeah.

I've been on two 14 hour flights. I don't mind it, so long as you don't get some fat fuck sitting next to or behind you. Or a screaming brat.
