Are small planes worse than big ones to fly in?

They are MUCH more turbulant and bumpy. I've riden in a 4 seater (a neighbor I had when I was a kid was a pilot and owned his own little puddle jumper) and it was the bumpiest thing I've ever been in. It was extremely bumpy. Then every year or two we flew from Detroit, MI to LA, California but our final destination is in Santa Barbara, so we take this small commuter plane from LA airport to Santa Barbara airport...for me it is terrifying, but I hate turbulence. Non-stop turbulence in those little planes.

My daughter who is 20 this month is in flight as I type this...we are picking her up in a bit..her flight arrives at 5:09..she will be staying for 2 weeks!! whoooohoooooo

That was so unexpected and then the sorry...I'll leave quietly was too much. You are hilarious !!!!

Thank you!! It's nice to be appreciated :D :D

I like to fly once I'm in the plane. What I hate is all the hassle beforehand ... the crowds at the airport, the security checks, the lost luggage, the waiting, waiting, waiting.

I LOVE FLYING!

Not that I get to do much, but I really do enjoy it.

a guys plane crashed in the city today. He went down in Constances Bay. It was a Sea Plane & he was 82yrs old. I'm sure it was age related.

My hubby flies at the same club the old man is from... It was a sad day at the club today.

I absolutely LOVE flying!! I prefer that over driving any day, even though I don't fly too often!:)

I love it but my ears don't!

In fact, I got back from the BBQ at noon yesterday and couldn't hear right until 7 PM today.

I'm really not too happy with the hassle of getting to the airport, waiting in line, etc. But I love to be above the earth, moving fast toward a new place.

My dad built small planes so I got a lot of experience in small planes. I even like the ones with open cockpits. Really fun! :D

When I saw this thread had moved back up, I decided to come and see if you had responded, Mary!!! :) You really are a trooper, not even complaining about your delays after such a wild weekend. Sounds like it worked out perfectly in the end, anyway!!!! :)

I love/hate flying. The takeoff I'm a little anxious but like, the landing same thing (mostly cuz flying is vacation time so I'm gettin ready for vacation).

I don't mind being in the air, I HATE turbulence. ugh

I DO hate the waits at airports. One day b/f and I waited forever (aka several hours) for our connecting flight since there was bad weather and the plane got hit by lightning so they had to go through a million point checkup. we were gonna get free pizza, that never showed up (or rather it DID, while we were boarding FINALLY, so we had it on the plane, cold, but FREE)

loved the staff too... www.flyi.com is great :)

b/f and I DID take a train trip from VA to FL. 24 hour trip! we slept and played games and read. pretty boring but an experience nontheless. next time IF we do that (hopefully we'll fly instead) we are getting a sleeper car

I've never rode a plane, and I don't ever plain on it. Ever since 9/11, it just scares me.

I've already posted here, but, thought I'd mention that I love airports, too. They are prime for people watching. ;) I love the gift shops! It's nicer to have someone there, but, I can make it fun even if I'm alone. But, I don't like turbulence too much, but, other than that, flying is cool. I know I was either heading to or from Germany one time, and, was stuck between two huge guys (like body builders or something) and they couldn't keep their legs together even if they'd wanted to. It was ridiculous, that's a long flight, and, I was on my period. These two guys slept the entire way. I had to wait til I was about ready to burst, then, climb over them, because they would not wake up. I hate when babies are screaming, that's about the only other thing that bugs me on flights. I actually like the food, now, it's always fun. And, I can't remember the last time I had bad airplane food. I remember once having filet mignon, it was delicious! It was an international flight, but, not first class. I've always wanted to fly first class!
