I have a fear of falling, not heights, but falling. I cannot sit by a window on a plane comfortably. If I wnd up with a window seat, the blind is closed the entire time and I do my best to pretend that I am not near the window. Reading helps me take my mind off the fact that ground is a very long way below me and makes flying pleasurable for me.
If I am flying Jet Blue, I can watch the TV set and I am good to go. The Kindle is away. Harry and comp will be happy to know that Jet Blue is my prefered airline and I do my darndest to fly them so I am less of a rule breaker then you might think. (winks) I tend to get annoyed when the 9,000 announcements interupt my TV viewing though. Jet Blue has gotten better with those.
Essentially, I need the distraction in order to help me deal with my irrational fear of falling. (shrugs) I don't care if it is focusing on a TV screen (which for some reason can operate with the satellite receiver getting most channels during take off and landing and not causing the plane to crash) or my Kindle, I just need the distraction.
