Graingy Survey: What's Your Favourite Part of a Flight?

48.1k Graingy  3 days ago

Specifically referring to commercial air travel, though if you're a pilot yourself that'll fly too. Pun semi-intended.

So, what's your favourite part?
The roaring of the engines and the rush of takeoff on the runway?
The watching the ground shrink under you while climbing at an angle?
The view of cruising over clear skies?
Being blinded by glaring white clouds over the weather?
The snack cart?
Seeing the destination come into view during descent?
The rumbled of the wheels touching ground once more and slowing to a halt on landing?

What's the best part to you?

I'm quite partial to takeoff myself, though a good view is quite a wonderful thing. If the view is wonderful, that is.

    @Graingy No, to be honest I never fly on a plane in my life. I dont have money to afford even the cheapest airline ticket and what i can do is just riding a plane in game

    I like when planes cruising above the thick cloud! Looks like sailing above the sea of clouds!
    .
    I don't like it when the plane crash.

    @Graingy yeah, I'm also flying today so that's exciting can't wait for that feeling of approaching the airport and seeing a vertical stabiliser sticking up through the fence

    If it's in real life then it's the takeoff run, flight sims and simpleplanes, it's landing

    @X99STRIKER Living things are machines. So you fly by eagle, right?
    @Randomplayer They do that on regular flights? And yeah the little cup is the best.
    @MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Don’t travel much, eh?

    The view of the destination area during descent
    If you can get the starry sky RNG during cruise, it is also amazing, but i haven't got it since my first ever trip that is basically at the earliest point of my memory

    VOR APPROACH WITH DME ARC TO MINIMUMS RAHHHHHHH
    best feeling in the word is going visual at minimums/breaking out and seeing the runway right in front of you after not being able to see outside of the shitbox Cessna for half an hour.

    Definitely the roar and shaking of reverse thrust.
    Also when you get a small cup of sprite

    @LunarEclipseSP That's more relief than enjoyment.
    Desperate, desperate relief.
