RE: Love-Hate Relationship to Flying
You think that's scary? Wait until you sit in a holding pattern over heathrow airport. You look out the window and you see a plane below you.. one above you, another one to the side.. literally every where you look there's a plane a couple hundred meters away. I never experienced a literal traffic jam in the skies until I flew into london for the first time during their busiest time of day.
Personally I love flying.. it reminds me of my childhood (we travelled a lot when I was a kid). But the joy is often interspersed with moments of mind numbing fear as I suddenly think of everything that could possibly go wrong. Then it passes and I love flying again..
Shit, I was just thinking that I should prob go to London soon, I'll have to remember to make sure I'm not flying to Heathrow 😬😬
Heathrow is alright.. and probably the easier airport to get to and from the city.. just need to try and avoid the peak times. I fly down about 3 or 4 times a year and I think I have experienced this maybe two or three times in the last 10 years.
Every time I've flown to London it's been to Stansted airport, it's pretty nice and quiet from what I remember.
Yeah stansted is pretty good.. though during the school holidays it too is very busy.
