I visted Quy Nhon city which is the big city in the middle of Vietnam last month. It took me half past hour go there from Ha Noi to Quy Nhon by plane. It was the first time I had a chance to encounter a aviation problem. When the plane was flying, the captain informed that the pressure control system has trouble, so we were coming back to Noi Bai and waiting to catch another plane to go to Phu Cat.
To date, I haven't travelled by plane but yes in future I have plans to visit foreign countries.
i travel by plane about twice or thrice a year but i only travel in my country and never go abroad. so i hope in the future i'll have a chance to travel to korea just because i fell in love and really want to explore the culture of this country.
I travel by plane once or twice for year, I would like to travel more. I would like to visit New York, Amsterdam and England.
I traveled by plane only once to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. This was my first experience and I would like to travel to different countries by plane.

I've never traveled by plane but I had one time experience about the flight when I went to Kuala Lumpur by plane to work there for the first time in 3rd March last year. And I hope to visit and travel to Netherlands to make my dream comes true.
I never traveled by plane because I never left my country. I want to begin traveling more and to visit South Korea and Iceland.
I try to travel twice a year. I could say is quite easy to me travel by plane because I work in aviation industry. My last travel was two months ago to Los Angeles in the US. The next one will be in April to Miami and I am so excited cant wait!! :)
I usually travel to Thailand three times once a year. I love to visit there because culture of Thailand and Myanmar are much similar and cuisines are mostly the same. People are also very hospitable and friendly. There are a lot of bars and pubs where we can enjoy till midnight. Not only it is joyful for young people but also it is also good for business people because it has a lot of tourist attraction places. The reasons that I have mentioned are main causes that I have chosen Thailand as one of favorite places to visit.
