Terrified mate but also love it - very strange combination. Not a WP but have done many LHR-SYD flights over the years as well as many others around the globe. I am very particular about which airlines i will fly and even the type of aircraft. Must say i prefer the metal to be reasonably young in age...

I don't actually have a really bad flying story to be honest. Had somw awful turbulance once flying across the Indian Ocean from Joberg to Perth which saw the plane divert a long way south to avoid it. The Captain announced it was the worst he'd seen in 20 odd years of flying. Plane was just bumping around like crazy and there were a few upset passengers. I was surprisingly calm and just sank a few more reds (probably not the best thing)

Been lucky i guess and long may it continue...flying back to Sydney next month so i think I will avoid reading the rest of this thread till I am safely back in London in December
