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 |

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 was 18 1958 to Jersey, I was amazed my parents let me go with my boyfriend, now my husband of nearly 46 years to a guest house (separate rooms and they booked themselves in the same guest house a couple of months later). Ann Glos |

Went to France on a school trip - took off from a grass field and bounced on landing at the other end Didn't know that wasn't the norm and couldn't accept that we'd actually landed next time I flew as there was no strike the ground and bounce back up again! Jay |

Fred - I'm sure they had baby carriers 23 years ago?!?! 4 months after that flight we went on another flight to Rhodes where my delightful younger sister was conceived (Rhodes NOT THE PLANE!!!) |

It would have been March 2000, had a job interview in Istanbul. Although the flight was no problem, the trip itself was less than memorable and I was glad to get home. |

Bec, just be glad you didn't end up in the hold! I'm sure the box was the safest place to be at that age anyway. xx |
