ohhh Hashmat ji a lovely interesting thread.. hmmm i was 22 years old when i boarded a Monarch charter flight to Tenerife- my first Vacation abroad… i was totally excited and couldnt stop :wowing:!!!.. i felt like I was soooo priviledged to be flying ( mind you that was sooooo many years back)…it was a journey of about 3 and a half hours and as I was sat on the window seat - my eyes were stuck firmly outside- i remember the puffy white clouds of brilliant white- i marvelled at Allah swt creations .. and remember that whilst taking off, my two hands gripped the seat whilst i fervently recited Aytal kusri … My disposable camera ( yep in THOSE days technology was sloowww.) managed to catch some beautiful piccies of Tenerife upon arrival - majestic piercing blue skys glistening against the pewter marble effect of the volcanic mountains …alhamdolilah it was a fantastic holiday and yep Tenerife was absolutely beautiful!!!

I remember when I was 12 I went to visit Pakistan, and I think that was my first time going on a really long flight! And I didn’t realize that gum is an essential necessity when your flying…so as we were landing I’m literally crying from the pain in my ears…and they wouldn’t pop for hrs after we landed…so I learned a life lesson… never to fly without gum!! lol But now Alhamdulillah things are much better!!!

**
wow…that flight must have been painful in ur ears…yep, a sesoned traveler does carry a packa gums. did u know that u reallly don’t need a gum…u just need to alternate between clinching ur teeth hard and swallowing ur spit. thats NOT as effective as chewing gum but it sure is the next best thing in order to alluviate ear-ache…don’t forget on ur next trip :)**

@poppies

@mustanamalik

my first flight was to China on a Russian made Tupolev plane…when everyone got seated and we were about to move there was lots of smoke in compartment… I got panic with fear and tried to get away… all Chinese laughed with a big loud…AIR CONDITIONER! All the way, I was sitting with both hands firmly on hand rests and my heart going down with each bump…praying…I was only 18

**
OMG…must have been very scary, indeed! but airconditioning causes that effect inside the cabin is unheard of to me. i never experienced such a thing…well, i’ve been lucky i guess :)**

@happyheart

hehehe so true
i can remember taking off with turkish air from karachi.
one guy started screaming: smoke smoke

of course it was the airco hehehe

**will never fly Hawa Yullari [Turkish Airlines] then to stay safe **

@notorious

The flight I remember was in 2000 when my parents, my brothers and I flew to Pakistan with my 1 year old and 3 year old. My children cried all the way to Pakistan and all the way back to Holland as well. It was quite an unpleasant and exhausting flight.
