No matter how well you're prepared, there's still a strong uneasiness regarding your rapidly approaching martyrdom.

Inhaling strong psychedelics that they constantly pump through the vents at the airports which make you susceptible to believe that the screens installed in the "airplanes" are "windows". Coming down from the drugs they gave you ("jetlag") after they have transported you by train to another place on the same continent is also bad

Only ever really flown 2hours at a time, but the recycled, dry air, the general closeness to people and the security are the least comfortable parts of the whole thing.
The funny thing about British airports is that you can get these lanyards with sunflowers on them, you don't even need to be retarded but it essentially allows you to skip queues and fast track for free! And you can even hop on a minibus and get taken straight to the plane without having to walk and wait in line like a peasant. Once I went in one of those buggies and they zoomed around the airport, the other time I personally was escorted on the plane 10 minutes earlier than everyone else! I felt like the president of the US going on some private plane! Unlike the president of the US I did not fall down the steps though! :^)
Try it sometime if you are flying in or out the accursed land of Britain, it'll be the only time you'll be treated like anything above a serf!

Rage inducing. How the fuck is it this difficult to disembark? Get your luggage and get the fuck out. You don't even need to decide a route. There's no choice. We have been waiting long enough and standing about to sort all the luggage and shit out. What they doing? Fiddling with their clits till they fall off?
Quite honestly. I've had quite a nice day dream imagining the air staff getting guns out and being like last one on the plane gets it. Kinda in the same manner Chinese staff do when you've finished paying the bill at their busy restaurant. You pay now! Get out! Busy restaurant! Leave faster! Why you so slow?!
People who use the toilet 10x on a 45 minute flight. Please if your guts are this bad. Don't fly. The smell some people leave behind should shame them into never leaving their homes.

Crying and screaming kids kicking the back of your seat. The person in front of you reclining their seats so that they are practically lying over you.

PL: Had a fat Filipino man use Facebook, full brightness, the whole time on a red-eye from LAX-SJC.
That was the worst part until the descent. I personally get a sinus pressure above my right eye that feels like someone is stabbing me with a needle whenever the plane descends.

I can handle everything else about flying, takeoff and landing is even kinda exhilarating, but I can't stand the ear popping shit. It takes me hours to get my ears feeling normal.

The cost/risk/benefit for flying is fucked. Unless it's a literal emergency, travelling thousands of miles in a few hours isn't worth the exposure to plaguebearers, unhinged children, the TSA, airport traffic, prices, etc.
Except for the time component (which typically include a long layover if switching trains) & initial cost, car rental or Amtrak is the smart way to travel. Especially with small children, flying is doing them (and other adults) a severe disservice. Kids are remarkably & predictably better behaved on trains.

Only flown a couple times a few years ago to visit a brother out of state, but I had no idea I had air sickness until maybe ten or fifteen minutes after takeoff. Think it was once my stomach finally caught back up to me and realized "Oh shit" that I ended up puking and didn't stop until we reached our destination. It was a miserable experience and also embarrassing. Having the pre-flight jitters and not having actually slept the night before probably didn't help, but I popped one of those air sickness pills before hopping on the flight home, so that wasn't as terrible. Still had to sit by the window, though.
The airport once you get past security was more fun than the plane tbh.

Worst part, is when you are still training to learn to fly and a BIRD FUCKING HITS YOUR TINY ASS PLANE AND YOU NEARLY DIE.
Aside that, popping ears bothers me since I have a inner ear/ balance issue.

Sick people. Not even talking about COVID. Getting on a plane with someone with a cold all but guarantees you’ll be coming down with it by the time you’re on your way out of the airport and no amount of Emergen-C can always stave it off, I’ve tried. I don’t fly unless I absolutely have to, I love driving and the last five times I needed to travel for work I opted to drive. Best choice of my life, I saw parts of the country I’d never seen before, I saved my company so much money they upgraded my hotel room when I got there and I had my own vehicle to tool around in and not some bullshit rental sedan.
Driving fucking owns, it’s what whole parts of this country was built on and anyone who disagrees is a communist.
EDIT cuz I got more.
People who give me dirty looks as they walk through first class. Fuck you pauper, I paid the extra $200 because I’m over six foot tall and I’m not spending the next five hours with my knees up against my tits. It ain’t a handicap spot, people get those seats honestly, they didn’t defraud you out of your chance.
People flying on vacation. Keep your exuberance for when you get off, some of us are traveling for work and want to wallow in our misery and misanthropy without you drinking up the whole booze cart. Act like a normal person for a few hours, you can do it.
People who fuck with their phones with the volume on speaker and turned up. That’s rude in every social setting but when you’re subjecting like 50 other people to it it should be grounds for legal manslaughter. “But the headphones hurt my ears!” Mute it and deal, then.

Honestly if you can prove that you need a "medical reason" (namely, your being too tall for "normal" seating) the first-class upgrade fee should be waived.
You should still have to pay for two seats if you're Amerifat though.

The people who stand up close, encircling the entire baggage claim carousel. It's such an odd manifestation of human behaviour.
There are the people who just stand back and approach when they see their luggage. Then there are those who must line up around the carousel. Completely blocking off access for others. Often a whole family or group will line up across it. Claiming their place of real estate. Who then seem surprised, put off and annoyed when someone goes, "excuse me" in order to get past them to collect their luggage. Only willing to move the tiniest amount of distance to let someone through. As if that person is the ass hole.

Besides the security checks, I don't mind the flying experience that much.
The only thing I absolutely DREAD is the thought of getting assigned a centre row seat. Luckily I've always dodged it as far as I can remember, but once, some dickhead pulled the old "me no speak English" to bamboozle me into swapping seats with him so he could sit with his wife or something. As a result of the wacky cross-cultural misunderstanding, I ended up in the fucking middle of centre row, between two Italians who promptly started yelling at each other with their litany of "porca puttana", with zero awareness of trite stereotypes.
When I started getting fidgety, some flight attendant took mercy upon my autistic arse and moved me to a window seat elsewhere right before takeoff, sparing me the twelve-hour long SNL sketch.
It's scenarios like these that make you think maybe, only maaaaaaaybe, all the cows and tumblr snowflakes who hype up their conditions may have a point.
