What will happen, if I am not scared...

[Dorthe]

Hei everyone!

For the first time ever I have this great feeling before the flight - I am not scared, but excited:D
But now I think: what will happen if I am not scared in the air? I get really superstitious when it comes to planes. I Think: will everything go wrong now I am not scared (when I am scared, I "survive" the flight). I don't know if you understand what I mean..
But, does any of you know that feeling?

:)

Thank you, Nicole and Keith! I am now in Spain, and the flight was so fine. I talked a lot whit the staff, but I think it's okay:)
Nicole, I think you got a really good point, it makes me think: what is my fear an excuse for? And, that could be really interesting to "investgate."
Enjoy your hollidays:)
And, thanks again to both of you!

I agree with you Nicole.

Just take the flight without being scared and you can have a new superstition! Easy.

ps Would you want the pilots to be superstitious. If not, why not, because if it works for you shouldn't it work for them too?

Hi Dorthe,

I am flying tomorrow and I have the same feeling. I used to be terrified of take off. Now I quite enjoy it so I am scared that something will happen during the cruise or landing. Often we use our fear as an excuse for many things and this is an example. Embrace the conquering of your fear and be proud that you have been able to come so far! Enjoy your flight and don't worry!
