Why? Is it something against flight itself? Or against airlines and airports?
It's only because I've flown a ton in my life, and after the first few times it just becomes a hassle. Plus, I'm 6'4" and the seats are only getting smaller. I'm not afraid of any part of flying, I'm just grumpy about it.
And getting nauseous during some turbulence doesn't help.
I'm not him but im fat and always bumping elbows with the people next to me and its just really uncomfy for several hours.
For me, it's takeoffs. I voluntarily pay to sit on top of 380,000 pounds of fuel, someone flips an ignition, and I sweatily await the laws of physics to beat the laws of thermodynamics. I clap when we reach altitude -- instead of the other way around (landing gracefully like a bird).
Everything else is quite enjoyable. Including the inflight radio channel where you can listen live to air traffic comms; and then feel the pilot command the ship to it.
Not OP, but I personally hate the whole experience. Here's how it goes:
The whole experience just sucks. It was novel the first few times, but now it's a chore and I end up feeling like crappy even after short flights.
