Leila Rasheed replied to Mikey's discussion 'I hate take offs'
hi Mikey, I am actually flying to Krakow tomorrow! I don't like take-offs either, but like you, I used to be a good flyer until my mid 20s. I don't know about the Xanax - I guess if you feel comfortable taking it and you have done it before, OK, but…

Oh dear. I was just on the train and bought a copy of the Times to read. Flicking through and I came to a headline telling me that the 'Landed it in the Hudson' guy says 'discount airlines are risking lives'. Captain Keith should be proud of me :-)…

Hi Leila

Sorry about the delay in welcoming you aboard but I've been very busy and have had problems with my internet connection.

Anyway welcome aboard...is there anything I can do for you right now? Don't hesitate to ask me anything you need to know about. I hope you find the site useful.
