When I heard that my family and I was going to Bangkok, Thailand during the End-Of-Year 2004 school holidays, I was too excited that I could not even sleep the night before. The day after, we woke up early in the morning as we had to take an early flight there.
After a few minutes of waiting, it was time to finally board the plane. I decided to take a sit near the window as I wanted to see how the plane was going to fly. Without any time to waste, the plane took off from the runway swiftly and was high up in the clouds.
When it was fine to move about, I looked out of the window. My whole body suddenly started to tremble for no apparent reason. I tried my best to calm myself down but it wasn't enough. This continued for the rest of the flight even though I already have looked away from the window.
Finally, when it was time for the plane to land, I felt relieved but I still decided not to look out of the window until the plane have finally landed. When it was time for the passengers to get out of the plane, I looked out of the window and gave a sigh of relief. I never thought that I was pteromerhanophobic, meaning, being afraid of flying and also acrophobia, meaning, being afraid of heights.
