—Captain at a major airline

　　If you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight．

　　The heating of the ground later causes bumpier （颠簸的） air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon．

　　—Jerry Johnson , pilot, Los Angeles

　　The smoothest place to sit is often over or near the wing．

　　The bumpiest place to sit is in the back．If you're in the middle, you don't move as much．

　　—Patrick Smith, pilot, and author of Cockpit Confidential

　　Sit in the front if you want fresher air．

　　The general flow of air in any airplane is from front to back．So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot, sit as close to the front as you can．Planes are generally warmest in the back．

　　—Tech pilot at a regional airline, Texas

　　You never know where the safest seat is．

　　There is no safest place to sit．In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front．

　　—John Nance, aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain, Seattle

　　I've been struck by lightning twice．

　　Most pilots have．Airplanes are built to take it．You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that's it．You're not going to fall out of the sky．
