Anne

I    How do you feel when you fly?

A   I love it. I really love flying. I like going to different places, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. I just love flying.

I    What do you least like about flying?

A   The meals on the plane, that’s what I don’t like about flying.

I    Have you ever had a frustrating experience when you were flying?

A   Yes, I did actually. Last year, but it wasn’t actually on the plane, it was beforehand. I had too much luggage at Delhi airport and they wouldn’t let me on the plane and they were trying to say that I’d have to pay a lot of money. But eventually I bribed somebody!

Jordan

I      How do you feel when you fly?

JO   I love flying. I do.

I      What do you least like about flying?

JO   I don’t like turbulence a lot because when it shakes it makes me a little nervous. But I like flying because you’re isolated and you can’t use your cell phone and I really like that.

I      Have you ever had a frustrating experience when you were flying?

JO   Yeah, one time they lost my baggage, so I had to spend my holiday without my luggage.

Jeff

I    How do you feel when you fly?

J   Predominantly comfortable, I think it’s a state of mind.

I    What do you least like about flying?

J   That I’m not in control of the situation that I’m, that I’m putting my safety in someone else’s hands.

I    Have you ever had a frustrating experience when you were flying?

J   Air travel, security-wise is very frustrating – not being able to take things on a plane and huge queues at airports.

Ben

I    How do you feel when you fly?

B   Safe, I mean I have no problems with travelling at all. Security checks are a bit annoying, but it’s a kind of necessary evil, I suppose.

I    What do you least like about flying?

B   Probably either the leg room or the food. They’re probably the two worst.

I    Have you ever had a frustrating experience when you were flying?

B   A stopover in Chicago for quite a while, a couple of years ago but nothing major, no.
