I actually flew from Europe to USA and it was a loooong flight. Economic class is not suited for that kind of long trip. Business class is a strong recommendation for anyone who is flying on such a flight. Cheers!!
My first plane experience was nerve wracking and that was years ago and I've traveled plenty of times since then although most of them are domestic flights. I don't really make a big deal of it anymore, although every flight is always scary because of the possibilities of danger but i don't think of that every time i get on a plane or i'll go crazy. I always just pray for a safe flight.
No i never feared up but my mom OMG she afraid a lot. I remember while i was a kid traveled with her for the very first time and she was holding my hand while we take off.
