| I Am 28, I Have Never Boarded An Airplane Or Been To The Airport All My Life. by Arshley(op): 11:10pm On Apr 10, 2025*. Modified: 8:55am On Apr 11, 2025 |
I'm ashamed, I'm afraid, I haven't been to the airport or traveled by air since I was born. I only see airports in my dreams and in the movies. I understand that traveling by air or visiting the airport is no achievement, but it's something at least. I'm already 28yrs of age. This doesn't sit well with me at all. I always feel left out whenever people, especially my agemates, are gisting about Airports and traveling by flight. Life hasn't been easy on right from the day I was Born till date. As if I came to the world to suffer and die in penury. I really wish someone can just take me to the airport so I explore and get some fresh air. I believe this will go a long way in changing and boosting my perception about life. I'm making this request from the depths of my heart, I hope someone brings this dream to reality for me. 🙏🙏 Nlfpmod Mynd44 Lalasticlala Fergie

Arshley:There is no big deal about it, I was about 35, when I took my first flight, since then I have taken many flights, both national and international. I have flown, economy,business class and first class. The longest flight I took was from UAE to loss Angeles, 17 hours , in a double decker Emirate Airbus plane, you will think it will be uncomfortable, but it wasn't..There was also food, alcoholic and none alcoholic drinks to go with it. My point is you have more than enough time to fly and be flown, who knows, 10 years from now , you may even own your own plane. At 26, I was rounding up my NYSC with no picture of where my life will lead. It's been an interesting journey, with many twist and turns along the way, like you I am looking ahead to many years where I hope , I will be able to knock off more items from my bucket list. |

Arshley:Riding in an aeroplane is not an achievement, and unless you're booking luxury class, there is nothing spectacular about the cabin decor either. There is a saying that, "Those who have Caps complain of no Head while those with Head are missing Cap!" I remember while growing up and riding in my Dad's Car - the doors always in child-lock mode, windows wind-up while strapped at the backsit like a bag of potatoes - we' ll pass all these "Molue" Buses with passengers hanging outta the door like commandos! I always feel left out of the excitement. Not until much later did I realize there was no fun in the experience! If it's the excitement you crave, ride in a Cable car or Glass Elevator. If it's the bragging right, convert that energy to hustle and grow. Only then will traveling by air look like changing clothes to you! |

It's just a matter of time bro, nothing to be ashamed about. One day you will remember this post while sitting in business class or first class. |

Who cares if he flies on plane or not, there’s more important things to be worried about than mere flying on planes |

There is nothing to be ashamed about . When it is time everything will work for you . Stop stressing yourself on things that are not problem . You are not late to the party, airports are still working.They won't close . I boarded first class at 30 and first international flight at 34. Since then through the grace of God I board international flights at least 4 times a year . You don't board flight for fun there is always a reason people board flight . Just focus on building yourself |
