Have you traveled by air? What was the longest flight you have taken ?

Yes, I have traveled by air several times. First, in my country, which is large, air travel is essential for visiting family and relatives who live hundreds of miles or kilometers away. 

Second, I have traveled abroad, visiting a few European countries and one in Asia. Because of this, I am familiar with the formalities and procedures that need to be followed before boarding a plane.

The longest flight I have ever taken was in 2016, and it lasted almost five hours. Based on my experience, even the calmest and most patient person can become nervous and irritated after sitting for long hours. Moving around was only allowed to use the restroom, and using cell phones wasn’t permitted. So, passengers are mostly limited to reading or sleeping to pass the time.

Finally, take-off and landing are the most stressful moments of a flight, while the meals served are moments of pleasure and relaxation.

That was a chunk of useful travelling vocabulary though. It will be useful next time I travel over the pond.

Just one time. It was national airline. The plane was a bit small compare to the internationals. I didn't feel good in my stomach when the plane flew up and down. The view was fascinating though as I got the window side seat.

I have gotten on plane many times for both working and travelling. But, just domestic! These new words are really useful and basically. I wish I had chances to travel oversea.

Have you travelled by air? What is the longest flight you have taken?

I am a student so I fly regularly from a bigger city to my hometown after every semester. And it’s a quite long journey. The longest it took was probably 16 hours due to the flight being postponed.

  • Have you travelled by air? What is the longest flight you have taken?
  • I have travelled  a lot by plane before. I like traveling a lot but unfortunately I only went to the Europe and Cryprus.  In addition to this, I had a lot of flight experience in Turkey. My longest flight was from Istanbul to Paris. I think that it is not a long journey. I hope I will fly to farther places too.
