An airplane is the fastest means of transportation.

How did u feel the very first time u boarded a plane (share your experience)

Mine goes thus:
it was a local flight, Lagos to Abuja. I was 15yrs old then, and i was going for a Post Jamb exam. . .Just seeing the gigantic plane alone frightened me, i was shaken all over, i had to hold on to my mum. Climbing the stairs was another thing, my legs were shaking.
When i got into the plane, i breathed a sigh of relief. The air hostess told every1 to tighten their belts etc. . .I didnt knw wat was coming next!
The plane was moving, then suddenly it went up with a terrible noise. . .chai!! Omo, i was scared.

Taking off is the most difficult part but once in d air, smooth!

Over to U

I almost released when the plan was about to take off in my first flight. I closed my eyes codedly not wanting others to notice me but deep inside me, my temp was above 400 level. I didn't know how to put on the belt until my co-traveller seating next to me assisted me. That was a flight of 45 minutes. Again when we are landing, i wish i would just jump off if the door was open. Couldn't contain the fever and held my seat too tight. I was too scared, imagining what will happen if. But after the flight, i couldn't forget it and was more than glad to have made it. Now i can fly 8hours and no shaking. I dey kankpe.

After man theoretical knowledge of it, when practicalizing it, i felt like am used to board it. Kano - Lagos, was smooth on aero except when we entered port hole (lol) while approaching MMA2.

No xperience yet...but oping to av one before d end of ds year, can't wait

Mine was in the dream.when I was 5years old.I was even the pilot and when I woke I saw my self in the parlour unclad!! What happend.my sister baptised us all with urine.

I've been flying since I was a lil kid, so I can't really remember my first experience, but one event always comes back to mind. This happend in the early 90's, we had a family trip and went with the househelp, she tried to push her way up the stairs to gt into the plane shoving the other pax,I could really see the embarrasment on mums face, what she did during flight and when we landed is a story for another day

I almost throw up in my first xperience.

Nice thread

I didn't feel anything, I was just normal...

The pilot said "the weather condition here is not very favourable, but I can make do with it"
Are u kidding me? For the first time? I spoke in tongues all thru.

Plus each time I looked at the clouds thru the window, its seems like there is an angel or something there..... Well, maybe. Just maybe i saw an angel...

I was 13 and going to live with my elder brother in the UK.
I was so happy that my day I had dreamt of for so long had arrived.

My flight was for 10pm but I was ready to go by 12 noon.lol.

I ironed my Prized Nike Tshirt(With Just Do It Boldy Printed) and my combat trousers. I washed and vaseline-polished my Nike Hi-tops.

I was ready.

Anyhow sha, when I got on the plane I found that my seat was between two morbidly obese women....One had strong B.O. and the other one had such a strong mouth odour...
Through out the night, the one with the Mouth Odour insisted on telling me her life story because 'it was my first time'. The other smelly one fell asleep but was FARTING in her sleep!

It was such a cacophony of smells...When the plane landed I literally raced to the exit for fresh air...

Bisjosh: Nice thread

Nah wetin dem ask u be that ?

Never have, never will.

mine was abuja-owerri,my flight was delayed from 10:30am to 4:00pm as a result of bad weather,i wasnt concern though,my utmost goal was safe landing,entring inside d plane i missed my seat,though i was later assisted by the hostess.i v to hang my lock my legs under d chair,becos d seat belt strapping appears to b too easy,so dat i dont v to fall wen we took off.it was a smooth ride though

chuquiz: Never have, never will.

Mine was when I was in the womb. My mama was about to enter Chanchangi. I furiously resisted her decision by giving her some hard kicks on her womb. Mum was stubborn. She finally boarded the flight. The plane was galloping mid-air that I was terribly rocking inside the womb. It was a horrible experience. I thank God that I survived.

I was hysterical throughout my plane journey but not because of the plane but the people I was leaving behind. I can only remember landing on uk soil and the scene was just beautiful.

Apart from that. my plane journeys have been hellish. Hate, hate, hate flying. My fear of flying causes me to dream about flying/crashing anytime I plan to travel.

Just a bit curious,

How old are you?

If chachangi started flight operations in 1997, the oldest you can be is 15....

Shouldn't you be studying for Waec or something?

I flew aero and the noise was crazy! Taking off scared the hell out of me as the aircraft was literally shaking. The lady beside me was the one who helped in fastening my seat belt. I was embarrassed

"TAKING OFF" IS ONE SCARY SH.IT!!! DAMN!

I never wanted the flight to end. I felt one hour for the height I was was too short. I was 14. As I was about to de-board, I greeted a man who responded "kaaro omo mi". He was the Late Lamidi Adedibu of Ibadan.

Nice question!

I'm 14yrs and 3months

I can't remember my first time cos I was like 1 but the one I can remember when I was 6/7 , it was an Air France flight to paris from lagos,, I remember asking my mum so many questions , we checked in, boarded and the hostess did the safety thingie which I didn't pay much attention to..

in my opinion the scariest part is landing, take off aint scary cos some of the time you don't notice immed, until you feel the plane pitch up

My first time on a plane from PH to Lagos, I was a little surprised it wasn't so noisy as I had only been in a helicopter before...who decided to make an helicopter look and sound noisy like a bee, i don't know

lol.. That's a heart stopper...lol

The flight was Lagos-Calabar and I was calm. I was half-laughing at the flight attendants when they were showing us the emergency procedures. It felt as if I had done it before, I don't know how.

#jumped out from a flying Dana plane#

My first experience was in the late 90s with the Cameroon Airlines from Lagos to London, via Yaounde and Paris. It was a pleasant flight, expect that the landing and taking off affected my hearing which resulted in me experiencing lose of balance when walking for 2days.

In the same flight between Lagos and Yaounde, players of Enugu Rangers made the flight interesting by singing various football songs, then there wasn't any technology to record some of their songs. I think they were going to play in the CAF competition in Cameroon, I can't remember their opponent's name.

Reminded me of my last around December, i was sandwiched between this two old women, they were just breaking winds as if they were on a bizarre kind of game. I couldn't breathe with my nose, i had to resort to my mouth only! It was a 14hours flight and the worst flight i ever had! food i no fit chop, film i no fit watch, was just with mind power willing the clock to move faster!

Too shocked for words, my boss just called me into his office and was like " Daniel, u wud be takin a flight to Abuja tomor, to represent Alada Holdings in a Samsung Dealer conference at Nicon Hilton by 9am"
Immedietely, I had goose pimples all over me,(me in a flight for the first time to Abuja?)
..... cudint sleeep dat night.
And on dat fateful february mornin, I dressed up in my white polo, jeans trouser, and my snikers ( my best dress), headed for Mallam Aminu kano Int. Airport.
At the airpot (not my first time o!) I was fidgetin and nervos like somone who was given a paper to present at an occasion whose guess was Barrack Obama.
The plane finally came, and the flight numba was anounced, (my guide sani, help me in the protocols.)
Jak robbinson, there I was in the tamac, ready for history waitin to happen.
I step into the cabin, and supprisin, I saw my gov. Ibrahim shekarau sittin at the first sit, ( fink he was headed for Abuja for some Sss interogation on the B.H stuff ) takin off, was a problem my belle start to turn me o, and my eyes come de turn me .
And my neighbor aboard help me out with ma sit belt, coz I. Confided in him abt my ignorance (I no fit shout)
The host afta ten minutes of stability in the air, brot bons and zobo and I form small, then I sipd it.
My mind no cot all tru sha ,coz I knew shekarau wud not board a faulty plane.
Dats the end of the story o!!!!!
I stepped in
