Smart planing/analysis, satnav (car/Google Maps etc.) and timing (depart 2am, or whatever) - are very important. Destination/main venue must have parking - and (IMO) be near a city/town/amenities, with historical implications/culture....
hedda	I'm not a good plane passenger so I always had a nice bottle of Valium when traveling. It's an irrational fear as I know statistically that when I drive to my local supermarket I'm probably in greater danger. I used to even get highly nervous when traveling on QANTAS because of their good safety record as always in the back of my mind was..will this be the first QANTAS crash with me on the plane? Aren't they bringing back Concorde?
JK2006	I'm not sure Rich - indeed I was the most Concorded passenger (beating David Frost to his extreme annoyance) and I have been on many planes over 80 years though I try to avoid them these days. Trains, cars, ferries and tunnels for me please!
Rich	I'm not sure about that, but next week is the 25th anniversary of the Concorde crash in Paris, a plane you previously told me you'd been on 363 times. With all the VIP's and famous people that used to travel on that aircraft criss crossing the Atlantic I always found it remarkable that when that one crashed on its take off for New York's JFK that nobody with a high profile of note was actually on that one. Not a conspiracy, just an observation. Have you ever travelled the massive Airbus A380 and what did you think about that as a flying experience?
JK2006	Anybody else wonder whether these plane crashes - from India to Southend - are TESTS to see if some kind of gadget works before a more serious disaster - possibly a plane carrying important people? That theory might trump all others.
