Yes, of course. I’ve traveled many times and for me, the longest was when I went to the USA from Peru, specifically, I went to San Francisco and I had two stops, first, it was in Panama, and I waited two hours, then I had another stop in Houston, where I waited around three hours more. So, my flight lasted 15 hours with two stops. My legs were very tired, my advice is when you try to take a low-cost flight should prioritize your health because when the flight is too long you could suffer a venous thromboembolism with several consequences.

Thank you for this useful activity!

Yes, I travelled before by a plane from Egypt to Germany. I travelled more than once for both fun and work. I had very nice experience with flying despite being afraid a little bit at the beginning, buy I enjoyed seeing the sky and the see from the plane. I never had a problem for example missing my baggage or the plane. It's so important to be at the airport on time and check the departure board to know the which check in desk you should go through and then you leave your baggage and get the boarding card. Before going to the gate, you can go shopping in the duty free, but actually the shops are too expensive 🫰. I usually wait for the plane near the gate to be the first one to board 😂 Thank you again and best greetings from Cairo

Yes, I have. My flights have only been for two hours, and it has been very comfortable. I remember that the first time felt a strange sensation in my stomach. Traveling by plane has been one of the best experience of my life.

I've never travelled by air, but I heard from a friend that it gets uncomfortable when the plane is landing. It feels like your stomach is falling down and sometimes people do vomit.

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.
