As some said, the unlucky on the row 13th will be also for the all who is onbord that time, so I feel there is a favourite seat for everyone but no unlucky seat. In fact, the row 13 is availabe on each aircraft only without number!!!

Row 13 may be absent but, the 13th row is ever present! SUperstition is an error but superstitious men persist in devilishly. Probably they ignore that errare humanum est, perseverare autem diabolicum. But....believe me: if they assign to me a seat n. 13 or 17, a row 13 or 17, I don't go away. Ciao :-) Giorgio from Italy THis is funny indeed.

I am sure this fact does not get by someone who has a fear of the number 13. People who have a phobia are intently focused on that fear. For example, someone who is afraid of spiders will notice them everywhere. My focus is to help people <a href="http://www.pilotdjfrost.com" rel="nofollow">overcome fear of flying</a> and now I realize maybe I have a new niche! I will be posting a link to this on my blog because I know my readers will enjoy it.
