1970 to Ibiza. I was 20. Everyone got dressed up to fly in those days...posh frocks and suits. Flown a few times since, but now have a phobia about it. Still, I have plucked up the courage and booked a flight to Canada in July. Just hope I can see it through! Dee x

I have not yet.xxxxxxx

When I was 23 - first flight, first (and only) time abroad - Kenya William

I was 17- in 1987 Jacquie

When I was 42 years old - so excited, didn't even know what the inside of a plane was like and flew for 22 hours to Perth, Australia. Was absolutely gobsmacked when I saw the size of a Jumbo-Jet!! I loved it, but was absolutely exhausted at the end of the flight. Stella

I've never been on a plane - and I'm not likely to either! LOL Sue xx

To Jersey when I was about 8 in a two engined dakota. We were given sweets to suck and they had not cut the grass along side the runway at Jersey airport. I wanted to go to Jersey because i had been reading the stories about Jersey zoo by Jerald Durell in Princess.

I was 23, went to Egypt.

1957 to the Isle of Man - next flight 1959 to Cyprus - free flight this time from H.M.! Everyone did dress up to travel in those days. If it was still going in in 1970 when did it cease? Ann

To Lloret de Mar in 1966 with a group of girl friends - we were 19/20, flew from Lympne ? airport in Kent. Had been to Germany the year before ona coach trip with one female friend - I was 18 then. Since then have flown many times, to Malta - lots of times, Spain - Fuerterventura, Greece - Kefalonia twice . Amsterdam.

I was 6 months old, Dad was in the Army and we went with him while he was stationed in Malaya. Donna

1961. flew home to get demobbed........from Dusseldorf Bec just as well they didnt do a '' Beckham'' with your sisters name then..LOL Bob

My first flight was in `82 went to Sweden and we had to land in Norway first as there was Snow Storm ~ sat on the runway for 12hours. R.B.

I was in my 20s, not long married, when his job meant us moving to Cyprus. We were well into the flight, when we were all told to fasten our seatbelts. The next half hour or so was really bumpy. We'd drop down as we hit a number of air pockets but eventually met calmer weather. Being a newbie, I didn't realise that this wasn't the norm. or I may have been more bothered. No flight has been a bother since going through that.

I was 7, I loved it so much when I was old enough I flew for BA as Cabin Crew! janey

My first ever flight was to Australia in 1988. Long story but my brother was adopted by my aunt and uncle and he lived in Australia. He came over here the year before and I went over to see how he 'lived' It was too expensive for us all to go so hubby stayed home and looked after the kids...for a month! We fly every year now on holiday. Three years ago hubby and I both went to Australia, so I have done quite a lot of hours on a plane. Marion

In 1984 to Tenerife. Was scared stiff, but been on many flights since. btw did Jenny conquer her fear and go to Ireland? Mau :O)

My first flight was to Malta and I was 12. Marie: )
