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
