Good morning Jan, and many thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I am on this forum because I experience many of the same fears as you do, including the paranoia - thinking that the cabin crew know something i don't! Now in September last yea…
Sorry Keith, I don't think that this is correct - they banned the aircraft itself but not the airline - it's not one of the companies that was blacklisted by the European Union: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/pdf/list_en.pdf

Afternoon Cristina

After a long period of NOT flying at all, I regularly fly to Greece to see my boyfriend who lives there, I've had 4 return flights there since January. The latest one was so smooth, I slept o a plane for the first time in my life. I'm…

not been on for a while as i have been busy with work but thanks for your email, i am sure your flight will be fine too, like we say, the thought of the flight is always worse than the actual experience, i hope you have a lovely time : )

- Hey just wanted to tell you i had 2 very good flights and not even a drop of alcohol before i got on the plane! Grenoble is lovely and the Alps were beautiful! I am still fearful but i dont let it get in on me as much as i used to- i can even manage to look out the window during take off and not hold on to someones hand! : ) i think driving to work is more dangerous that getting on a plane now
