Being able to take a trip by means of airplane is one of my favorite parts of travelling. I have been on so many flights in my life thanks family vacations, both long and short flights. A flight can be from state to state, one end of a country to another, or even crossing countries. No matter the length, some things stay the same, which are the most important parts. To me, a vacation doesn't begin when you leave the house, but when you take off. The experience of flying is an amazing one, and is definitely something to try to do at least a few times in your life. From the moment you walk onto the plane, you are welcomed by the crew. The people working on the flight are extremely friendly, and want to make you feel welcome. They will be …show more content…
Before you taxi and takeoff, you get to hear speeches by flight attendants on the plane's safety features like seatbelts, breathing masks, and what to do in case of emergency. I've noticed that most planes don't do actual presentations, but all of this information is in a video. After this, the pilot starts introducing themselves and the crew and information about your destination city. You'll hear more information on this later on the closer you get to your destination. You hear information like weather conditions and things to do in the …show more content…
Long flights are usually the best in providing entertainment, with plenty of free movies, shows, a games, and music all right in front of you. Above your seat is an overhead control that has switches to turn on and off the light above your seat, a button to call the flight attendant along with other controls. The seats on longer flights are also more comfortable, considering you will be sitting in them for over eight hours, rather than just 3 or 4. No matter what the length of your flight is, you will continuously feel the pressure of being so high up in the air. Your ears will let you know of elevation changes as you ascend or descend, sometimes a little uncomfortable. My experiences have all been good, excluding delays. Other than those situations flying always was fairly comfortable and easy to handle. Sometimes, the people around you make the flight seem longer than it actually is. I have had a women fall asleep on my arm, or kids around crying for hours, annoy me throughout the entire flight. The people are generally polite and kind, and apologize for anything they've done. Most of the time, everyone on the plane minds their own business, with little interaction unless they are social
Handling and operating an airplane comes with great risk, but these risks that are present are handled with very different attitudes and dealt with in different ways depending on the environment the pilots are in.
Many people have issues with flying. Some are nervous that the plane might not make it to its destination while others think of flying as an overpriced, uncomfortable, and unpleasant experience. Than there are those who can afford to make their flight experience much more luxurious which are the passengers flying in business class or in first class. These are passengers that get the champagne in the plastic glasses and the chairs that stretch all the way out. David Sedaris is able to paint this picture of entitlement and lack of comfort throughout his article “Journey into Night.”
“What time should we leave? Two hours in advance? Three? Four?” Millions of people ask these questions each year before boarding a plane. Between driving, security, walking to the gate, and getting settled, boarding a plane exhausts travelers. But out of all of these different activities, one frustrates and restrains travelers the most: TSA security. People ask why they need all this security, complain about the inconvenience it causes, and ultimately annoys people to no end. Created after 9/11, Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, nationalized airport security, increased screening duration, and supposedly increases security on flights. However, statistics say these added security measures never come to fruition and potentially cost more lives than they save.

Pilots are professionals at their jobs. When people step into a plane they should feel safe and comfortable. When flying people are putting their life into the pilot's hands. But don’t worry not everyone can just fly a plane. Pilots need to take many classes and fly for many hours with an instructor before they can get the lowest and most basic pilot license. Pilots also need to log so many hours before they can go through the next stage of lessons to get a high ranked licsons. Just to get a private pilots license pilots need to log over 250 hours. Pilots fly many different types of planes to log their hours before they can fly commercial airliners. When they first step foot into a passenger plane they do not take the controls right away. They must go through the stages of being a co-pilots first and build up their experience. Being a co-pilot builds up experience but also gets the pilots comfortable with their surroundings. Pilots must log over 2,000 hours of being a co-pilot and then go through more schooling and training. When you walk into a plane usually the pilot stands by the door and greets his passengers When ...
If you have a love for the sky and aviation is one of your interests, you're not deterred from being in charge of at times more than 100 lives, and you have a soft spot for exploring the world than becoming an airline pilot is for you. Airline pilots have one of the coolest, most exciting nerve racking jobs out there. My goal for this paper is to explain all about how to become an airline pilot, what it takes to become one, the facts about the job, and some pros and cons of being in the field. My interest in flying was harbored as a child during vacations, my mother is a flight attendant so we traveled often. Whenever entering an airplane I was at awe of the sheer number of controls in the cockpit and the duties of the captain and first-officer. My fascination of aviation was solidified upon the story of Frank Abagnale in the motion-picture and novel, ‘Catch me if you can’.
The stewardess then directed me towards the back, away from the cockpit. I looked at my ticket and at what seat I'd be sitting in. I had to duck in and around people putting their luggage into the upper compartments and look for my number on the back of my seat that matched my ticket stamp. As I walked past one of the windows, I glanced out and saw the right wing. It somehow gave me reassurance that I'd be fine and I'd soon be having the time of my life. "I'll soon be in the air."
Sleepiness is no doubt, the most prevalent form of fatigue in pilots and there are many ways to attack this symptom. Obviously, the first and foremost is to get a good night’s sleep. It is recommended that people get at least eight hours of uninterrupted but some people
bad as I expected it to be. The queue seemed to flow by. Like fish in
“Flight 208 to Los Angeles is now boarding. Section N you may now take your seats”. You looked down at your carry-on bag to make sure you have everything packed up, even though you took nothing out, and headed toward the flight attendant and handed her your ticket. As your walking through the tunnel, the sound of the planes jets put just enough pressure on your body, causing your pulse to increase. “Why are you nervous, you been on planes before”, you ask yourself. You shake your head and start to inhale and before you could finish getting your lungs to the maximum capacity they could hold, a man wearing a white shirt twice his size and jeans that also seemed
Going on a road trip with my family means the world to me. We drove to another state during summer vacation, and it was by far the best road trip I have ever been on. My family and I were able to go to many fun places. We ate so many exotic and delicious foods as well. Yet most importantly, I spent time with my family and their friends. It was the day when my family and I went to California for our summer vacation.
