Donate them

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

No use to me..

I’ll never fly. I might donate plane tickets to a charity so they can raffle them off as prizes.

Why? Because I am scared of flying. I know I could get on a plane and be safe. But I don’t want to find out if it’s OK…I’ve always been nervous about flying.

I look at it this way, my carbon footprint is minimal, why make it bigger. I love other cultures but I can meet them here. I don’t want to damage the environment. I would ask that the flights were not long haul. No, I won’t use them.

Nowhere

Never flown, never will. Too scared. I like insects, snakes, spiders, I don’t mind thunder and lightning.

I’m not so scared of flying I guess, just the prospect of crashing. Plus I have no control over the airplane. At least if I’m in a car, train or on a boat I could stop and get out, get off at a station, or jump overboard and swim if necessary.

But planes? No! So if I won two free plane tickets I would give them to someone who needed them, or to relatives so they could fly over and visit me. Or auction them off for charity? I don’t know.

I keep seeing adverts where you can win houses over a million pounds. But I won’t enter the draw. How would I keep a massive house warm? How to light it? How to clean it? I don’t have spare cash. Perhaps I could rent out rooms. But it’s a pipe dream. If I won I wouldn’t want it. I would give it to a charity possibly or sell it to someone else who wants it. I just need enough money to stay comfortable and manage to live on for the rest of my life. X

Nowhere!

I might donate them to a family that need hospital treatment abroad, but I won’t be using them!

I do not want to fly, or more accurately I don’t want to crash. So I make excuses, it’s not good for my carbon footprint, Also, who needs to travel thousands of miles? The majority of the world can be seen on screens.

I recently saw a marvellous cruise to Antarctica advertised on TV, presumably you have to fly to catch the ship. But why? The cost must be exorbitant. And what are we doing tramping around pristine environments! You see the world burning and you think I want to add to 5ue temperature? Nah! Not me!

Millions of people fly each year, but until we are able to harness solar energy to power them I think I’ll give it a miss. Does anyone remember the flight of the Gossamer Albatross? Look it up!
