Planes terrify me, but I have flown on a couple occasions. Only when I was really young though. If I remember correctly I've flown to Illinois and West Virginia. No other places that I know of.

A lot of you fuckers are missing the fun of mid-air turbulence, knowing that you're safe but still with that niggling doubt in the back of our head that you could plummet to your death at any moment

So true I was on a small plane(the thing had propellers) to the Bahamas and the thing was up and down more that a roller coaster. Everyone shitting themselves on the flight funny stuff.
Another thing people who have never been on a plane are missing out on is the food, it mostly resembles dog food.

I was hungry earlier and found a can of vegetable chilli which I foolishly decided to heat up and eat. It looked just like dog food but I still tried to eat it. I got 3 mouthfuls into it and nearly puked.

As for flying, I was a late starter. I'd always prioritised drinking locally against saving for a holiday until my early 20s. After that I decided to expand and have since been to New Jersey and New York (same trip - I just travelled to NY to see Looter), Greece, Ireland, Amsterdam, Spain, Czech Republic, Germany and France (yeah, I know the last two could be done via train or car). Not exactly travelling the world but I'm glad I did it.

Walking out of Penn Station and looking up at the skyscrapers is great. Travelling through Prague and admiring the architecture is awesome (it really is an amazing place). Getting pissed in Dublin is cool.

The same applies to the other locations. Everywhere has it's sweet spot/thang and, if you can find it, you'll regret not going sooner.

Diversify you ignorant fucks! I consider myself under-travelled compared to some people I know.

Never been in a plane...although I'm only 21...

although my younger brother has flown a cesna many times and is going through school to be a commercial pilot, next time he goes up solo he's supposed to give me a call...

I've flown on commercial jets probably close to a hundred times. Out of that theres only 3 trips worth mentioning.

1) Single engine failure on the way to Portugal, no hassle, made an emergency landing at Stanstead no worries. About 15 years ago.

2) One time we hit some very hard turbulence, plane jumped, steward(ess) (he was male but very camp) headbutted the plane ceiling and sat whimpering for remainder of the flight. Its pretty scary when even cabin crew are afraid. About 4 years ago.

3) I lied, this wasn't a commercial liner it was me flying to France with my Dad, stopping at Southampton Airport for customs necessities and on the same day and time they wheeled
the aftermath of this weird shit past us. Saw blood stains around the window hole and everything. About 18 years ago.

Nothing exciting has happened recently but I'm with Neversoft, just knowing the possiblities makes any plane journey fun.
