I know, and don't think I'm not thinking about it. Jamaica was about 3 hours. I think I will go to Atlanta, then down to CR. 4 hour flight, like flying to Vegas from Cincy.

But man, I hate flying. lol

might be more if the planes flew 5 feet apart like cars travel...

but since they are 1000's of feet away from the next plane , i'm surprised their are any crashes at all.

cars dont wreck because of mechanical failure .. its because idiots are driving them.. pilots arent idiots.

imagine if cars had to be 100 feet apart .. how many wrecks would their be then ? not many...

True, never thought of it that way.

I've been some rough ass turbulence and it was rough.

safest way to travel when you go to CR you will see stop the paranoia.... walking out your door much better chance to get killed then flying... ....

Driving your car BB 1 in 7700 die flying 1 in 2,067,000 die

Dante that is a fantastic chart. Really makes a point on how safe flying is...... Boy I hate to fly also. I usually get like 5 quick shots of crown royal in me,right before I board,at one of those gate bars.......

worked in the airline industry and ex is a flight attendant. Quite amazing how many people I know who fly for a living and have few 'close calls'. I have no hesitation of flying, in fact, I enjoy it, but I do get first class which makes a huge difference.

I would much rather fly for five hours than drive for five hours and the safety difference is off the charts in favor of flying..I have flown all over the world including choppers in Viet Nam and still have no problem flying..These days I can't say I enjoy flying because of the added secruity measures and many airlines packing people in coach anyway like sardines, but it is still better than driving by a long shot..

Bigbet, you have nothing to worry about, just get on the plane and try your best to relax. Try to remember there are over 90,000 commercial flights everyday worldwide and none of them are apt to crash. When compared against all other modes of transport on a fatality per mile basis air transport is the safest — six times safer than traveling by car and twice as safe as railroad travel..

Fact:
