My First Flight Experience

My husband had to travel to U.S  for a work assignment with his client co. We along with our 2.5 years son were getting ready to move to U.S from India. During our preparations for the journey, I had my own apprehensions regarding travelling in flight. But I did not reveal it to my husband. This was my first travel in a plane. I went through a phase which was overwhelming with sudden rush of emotions before I left India. It was mainly because I had to leave my family in India and travel  far and also the fear of travelling in flight. However, I made up my mind to be strong and we geared up for the long journey. My main fear was the fear of flying high and also managing my kid for a long tiring journey. Once I entered the flight and the flight took off, my fear vanished. I am not sure if it was because of the flight attendants who made us feel comfortable and reassured our safety with their friendly smile. To top that my tiny tot adapted to the flight timings and co- operated well.

Once in a while, I gazed out of the window to see how it is to be flying amongst the clouds. I was awestruck by nature’s majesty. I could see the mountains with snow, blue sea beneath the swirling clouds. The view was breath-taking and I wanted to see outside the window all the time which I dreaded before I came into the plane. So first time flyers, just relax, enjoy and don’t forget to look at the clouds often.
