well that's fair enough.
If I'm honest, I hate planes too. I'm afraid of heights.

I don't like heights
but I love flying. It's ladders, cliffs and the like that give me the willies. 36000 feet in an aeroplane is no problem. 6 feet up a ladder and I'm shaking like a shitting dog.

Plus I can never get comfortable sitting in a plane.
It's just an annoying experience all round.

There is that.
I can't sleep sitting up, so the journey is a bit uncomfortable. But that's outweighed by the positive aspect, i.e. the excitement of going away somewhere.

I'm driving this year though, so it's not an issue.

I know a cure for that
sleeping sitting up isn't that hard with the right preparation.

I love flying, my father designed bits of planes and his brother was a test pilot at one time.

However all of us share a very healthy fear of climbing ladders or multi-storey car parks.
