StaceyinLA Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The terror alerts are on high. I bought my tickets today for next week. What is wrong with me? It's not like I LIKE flying as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputterduck Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 You'll be fine. But do make sure to pick up one of these first in case they send you to the scanner. http://www.rockyflatsgear.com/womans-protection/ :tongue_smilie: eta: Or these! http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20024067-1.html :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 You'll be fine. Have fun!:) We're flying to Costa Rica in two weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We're flying next week. So, if you're dumb we are. Is this your trip to see your dd in Hawaii? We're going to Hawaii. Our trip has been booked for months for our anniversary that was in December. So, no plans to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
july19 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We are flying in July, and my husband was saying the same thing. People fly every day, so it'll be okay. Remember to get to the airport early early early! =) Safe travels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 My ds's gf is flying to Italy today, and I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous for her. Thousands of flights go every day, though. I'm sure all will be well with her...and you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 *laugh* My sister is not just flying -- she is flying to the Middle East in the next couple of weeks. So no, not dumb. Just continuing to live your life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 this is my first trip to see her. It's pretty spur of the moment. I just feel like she needs some help over there. They have been sharing a car, and her husband's work schedule is pretty erratic, and not really leaving them any time to take care of things. I am flying in and renting a car so we can get some things taken care of. Hopefully that will ease her up some to enjoy the last 6-8 weeks of her pregnancy (and, I won't lie, ease me some too). Where in Hawaii will yall be going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I don't know why I am such a stinking worry-wart these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Flying to Hawaii is great. I've always had smooth rides over the ocean. And then when you land, you are truly in Paradise! Try not to worry about the terror warnings. They're always there and people are super vigilant nowadays. For the plane ride I always buy a bag or two of peanut M&Ms, a diet cherry Coke, and a bunch of tabloids to keep me occupied when the movies aren't so good. Also, keep your pillow and use it as an arm rest. Way more comfy than the arm rest which you're often sharing with someone anyway. Enjoy your time there!

Daisy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) I'm flying with my two children on Friday night. I'm a little stressed about it. Hopefully it won't be a big deal. I'm actually more stressed about all the details of life that are included in a trip back to family. Edited May 17, 2011 by Daisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Where in Hawaii will yall be going? Don't laugh..... I can never remember the name of the island. It's the one with Pearl Harbor, which we will go see. But not on Memorial Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 My dd lives about 5 miles from Pearl Harbor! If you weren't on an anniversary trip, I'd see if you wanted to meet for lunch! They have found some AMAZING places! It's Oahu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Every time we fly to the U.S. - pretty much every single year - terror alerts are on high. You'll be fine. :grouphug: We head to Israel next month. Hopefully that will be fine also. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We just got back from Paris and took several short flights while in Europe. No problems. You'll be fine! Have a great trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just flew to Turkey. No problems. Didn't even realize the terror alerts were high. Just a normal day at the airports, it seemed. You'll be fine!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
