QotD: My First Flight
Do you remember your first flight? Where did you go? Why?
Submitted by Laurel.
I remember my first flight fairly well. It was with my cousin coming here to Fort Worth to spend a week with our Grandma, which at the time was a big deal because we were two small kids flying with no adult supervison and it was my first ride in an Airplane. At the time I was living in Baytown (small city outside of Houston), I was around 8 or 9 years old and my cousin was a year older than me. The plane we took was a small commuter jet and the flight from Houston to Fort Worth took less than an hour.
I think the most memorable thing about that flight to me was the free "Honey Roasted Peanuts". On that plane ride was the first time I had ever eaten them and I remember that both me and my cousin really liked them so much that we kept asking for more, and the flight attendant kept giving us bags every time we asked.
