to worst part of flying for me is landing due to ear pressure, and going deaf for a while after landing. but that is only if the plane drops fast for a landing. NY and FL both have airports where they can drop slowly, when landing like this my ears are fine, but like philly i think it was they dive bomb the landing and it kills my ears so bad. no gum helps on landing. only on take off, its like driving up a mountain, your ears just pop, its like nothing.
and the view flying into into NYC is incredible if your on the right side of the plane, (night flights are great for this) one side you see NJ the other is NY who wants to see jersey?? lol
JFK was just re paved, laguardia sucks, scary landing there, it feels like your landing in the water. Newark has a runway like a dirt road in africa, its in bad shape.
