I was told, the first time I got married, "Never fly in the same aircraft with your S/O!" The idea was, if it is "your time," you do NOT wanna take the one you love most, with you. Good advice? My S/O and I will NEVER fly together, ever.

Well that's pointless, Do you drive in separate cars also. You are more likely to get into a automobile accident than you are a plane crash.

I honestly wouldnt think of flying separately to my S/O. If we're making a trip together, then we're making a trip together. If it's your time, and you're flying with your S/O then it's their time too. Imagine (as in the link), being the one left behind (survivor). Wouldnt you want to have been with them when the time came.

Most extraordinary. Considering that one is more likely to get run over by a bus or have a car accident, the whole sharade seems bizarre to me. So what do people do about travelling by car together? Surely, it would be better to have separate cars rather than separate flights and not cross the road at the same time but all separately!:)

There was a couple who vowed never to fly on the same flight in fear they would be wiped out if it crashed, so the mother would fly with their son and the father would fly on a seperate flight with their daughter. The mother and son flew on the Air France flight, needless to say the father and daughter are alive but distraught, just as the link explains. To me Im not sure if Id like to be left with out them, and have to live without my so and child Id rather stay together

Doesn't make much sense. You could be both struck by lightning if you're together, or have an accident in the same car, or get struck BY the same car. As long as you're together, it's more likely that anything good or bad will happen to both. At that rate, you'd end up never seeing each other again.

Superstitons(!) No, not good advice.
-
It may make sense, but it it does, then it's far more vital to never travel together in an automobile. The chances of dying in an automobile crash are 2200 times greater than dying in a commercial airline crash, yet most of us hop in the car without the least concern for safety.
-
The advice must apply to cars and trains too and not just to aircraft alone - if it were to be a sound one. Could apply even to walking on the streets together or going shopping together. Ithink the advice was given by someone for want of a better advise.
-
That is absolutely ridiculous, what will you do if you have children? Will you all travel on seperate planes?
-
I don't follow the concept if "if it is your time". Either flight has the same chance of crashing. If it affected no-one else, I think I would take the "double or quits" option - both die or (more probably) neither. If you have children who are not flying with you, however, the equation changes: leave one alive to care for them. Of course, the same applies to cars which are, per mile, much more dangerous than planes. If you never fly in the same plane, you should never drive in the same car.

The British Royal family adheres to this rule ,I belive. So if you want your family name to continue,be careful who you fly with . Cheers to The Mile High Club. :-)

hmm. surely if its "your time" and you s/o dies too then it was also her/his time too? although can see where your coming from, but in that case you may as well live seperatly in case the house went on fire
